Personally I think if fit enough Platt & Deegs should start on Saturday in place of Bell & O'Donovan
I know I am going to get stick but some people seem to have a real pren hoblem with Platt just because he is an honest journeyman.
I still feel if you looked at his record in open play he has a similar record than Juke who although I like I feel is very overrated by many.
Again when Platt came on we scored two goals today and could have won, when he came on last game he helped to make the penalty that could have won us the game! If Juke had made this impact when coming on as sub people what be crying out for him to start that's for sure.
Personally I think if fit enough Platt & Deegs should start on Saturday in place of Bell & O'Donovan.
What are people's thoughts and why are so many so harsh on Platt his stats overall probably make him our most effective striker...which granted is slighlty sad!
Secondly know it is gutting to let in last min equalisers and even winners. Did not make the game tonight as working late in London but still remember Palace only too well! :facepalm: However was this such a terrible result given league positions, and resources currently available to two clubs in question. Overall once disappointment has died down hope people will view this as a hard earned point. Sounds as if it was fair result to be honest.
Value people's opinions who were at game as always hard to judge by reports!
Cheers, here'e to getting a result at Barnsley and hey we're out the bottom three!imp:
Clive Platt hasn't been a respected pro for over 17 years for no reason. He has always been played by managers wherever he has played and boothroyd regarded him as one of the most underrated target men whilst Lambert was looking at him over the summer for Norwich For his size he has an excellent touch and I recall mcshefffrey last season raving about his cushioned headers. At 33 he is not young but he always appears in good shape. If I have a criticism it is only that he could be more selfish. It's a common misconception that plattini is only a long ball target man, Google for the Norwich vs Colchester 7 : 1 demolition a couple of years back.
I would like to see Platt start with either Juke or McDonald (when fit) and see the goals flow.
If strikers were judged not just by the goals they score but also goals they bring to a team I think platt would be much more highly rated.
The key thing about Platt for me is, when he's on the pitch Jutkiewicz looks a better player. I like the Juke anyway but I think Plattini brings the best out of him, both last season and this.
