That’s how I see it too.Under Lampard, we have the highest amount of crosses in the league. This is the same as Lampard at Chelsea and at Derby. As a manager, he wants people to go wide, overlap and get balls into the box. Were patient in not just aimlessly throwing crosses in every second, but take time to get people into the box.
From what I can see the striker role, is to hold the ball up so we can attack vertically to allow the wingers and 8s to get forward. Also to occupy centre backs to allow the 8s to crash the box.
As such think a target forward who has experience in this would be the target for this role?
There’s a lot of grown toddlers in this forum!
We were a back pass away from another playoff final. Every neutral I’ve spoken to has said the same thing, over 90m we were the better team in both legs. Sunderland were only better than us in extra time and if a team was winning it before penalties, it was them unfortunately.
We’re a v good team in this division, since Lampard has come in, we’ve been the 4th best team in the division and soundly deserved to be in the playoffs.
That doesn’t mean things can’t be improved in terms of personnel or tactics, but Lampard and his team deserve credit where it’s due.
Saw the other day apparently our build up play is very similar to the Brentford side that got promoted
So basically we need a striker with the same profile as Ivan Toney - I'd imagine they're in short supply
That’s how I see it too.
good post
Emil Riis released by Preston. Is it only us he's looked good against? He looked on a par with Gyokeres in 2021/22!
Where have I been suggesting 2 up top?But you've been suggesting 2 up top, that's clearly not going to happen unless injuries dictate
Where have I been suggesting 2 up top?
I mean Armstrong can play out wide.McBurnie and Armstrong. Unless you're suggesting playing Armstrong as a wide man which I can't see happening.
Riis is better than both, on a free and means we could get money to invest in elsewhere. He’s scored more than Simms and BTA put together this yearMcBurnie is a bag of wank and Riis is shit too. I’d rather keep Simms and BTA
Exactly that, we need someone with the height and strength to be an option to play it long when we're defending. With Simms and Wright, it just keeps coming back. If you then manage to combine it with someone who's got in the box instincts (similar to Godden), you've got both an aerial threat and someone who gives you an option to put in low crosses too.

Not heard anything about whether he's done here or not yet, man. Thought i'd let the dust settle before i start asking questions about the window
Derby didn’t play with a traditional target man under Lampard - don’t know about Chelsea.Under Lampard, we have the highest amount of crosses in the league.

Chelsea had Abraham and I think Everton used Lewin in this way but could be wrong. I think it you watch a lot of our patient play had the target man as Simms. I think it’s just how the role naturally plays. Happy to find someone more technical mind. Ivan Toney seemed a good shout for what attributes we should be looking for (obviously can’t sign toneyDerby didn’t play with a traditional target man under Lampard - don’t know about Chelsea.
I agree with you that we could do with an out ball up front, but a lot of the names suggested so far (Morris, Riis, McBurnie) seem like the kind of big lumps that would have fared very well in our last two games, and been much less capable in the months of patient passing football that preceded it.
They played a 3-4-1-2 shape and he was on the right. Saying he was a winger is like saying MVE is a winger when we player 3 at the back.Seemed very much RW to me.
Wouldn’t mind keeping Simms as he’s in the model of what we’d want and I do think he could come good.
Some games he did brilliantly, I know someone at Preston and they were saying how much they struggled to deal with him (why they brought on the CB at half time).
Just want consistency and he needs to learn imo to do the boring bit of the role.
Think if you get sell BTA, and bring in an experienced number 9, who could help Simms and Bassette with their development while also playing a role, we could see some improvement from both of them
How much longer do we persist with Simms though on the potential he might come good? He was brought in after Gyokeres left, with Wright, to lead the line for us up top and he’s not been consistently good enough.Wouldn’t mind keeping Simms as he’s in the model of what we’d want and I do think he could come good.

Lati?What is up with all the players being named here being the cast offs of other clubs?
Guys, we dont shop in fucking homefoods and netto anymore, look at all of our past signings in the last two years?
We sign potential from abroad, a club in our leagues best player and captain, or the best player in a lower league team.
The one exception to that i can think of off the top of my head is Jay Da Silva, who half of you would get rid of in the summer anyway and BTA was West Broms top scorer the season before (plus was a very clear Robins, not the recruitment team, signing)
Why are we even mentioning mediocre strikers in a shit preston team or oli mcfuckingburnie?
Fair….but people on here also would get rid of him tooLa
Lati?
Tom Jones plays upfront for them.Tony Ifans from TNS Solutions, big welshman with an eye for goal

The exact same stuff was said about Tyrese Campbell and Keiffer Moore last summer. 2 free 'unexciting' strikers who've lead their side to promotion (well soon hopefully), while we were spunking needless money on BTA.Came here to say exactly this but already said 10x better
We'll do both. We don't have one type of transfer strategy that we rigidly stick to like people who haven't been paying attention are suggesting. We've taken from abroad, from our own league, from league 1..It seems that a lot of the speculation on here is linked to players we've seen in the EFL. However, one thing we have learned over the past couple of years is the recruitment team identifying players we've never seen or heard of. Torp, Tats, Dovin, etc.
It'll be interesting to see what they come up with this transfer window.
Agreed. Has he improved in the two years he’s been here? It’s minimal, if at all.How much longer do we persist with Simms though on the potential he might come good? He was brought in after Gyokeres left, with Wright, to lead the line for us up top and he’s not been consistently good enough.
Seems a good shout. Good stats for his first half season in a different countr. Wonder how much they’d want tho as apparently spent 3-4 million on him.Salech is the one that would really interest me. Only 23, 6'3 and 8 in 20 for a relegated side.
Exactly the sort of player we could do with and fits the profile. Think he'd thrive here,
Price is the concern with him which is why you would need a sale, ideally two with Simms and BTA and a quality freebee coming. That gives you the opportunity to make a profit while improving your forward options and spend it on the rest of the tea.Seems a good shout.
