Originally posted by dreamwaverider Roy knows the premier is ALL about pace. Bring in a fast nippy attacker stick him up there with Zaha and Townsend and all hell will break loose. Big hefty target man don't seem to work anymore in the premier. Look at Man City yesterday. In the meantime Im a fan of the role Shluppie played. Maybe even get him more up the pitch. You can't use Guardiola's City team to make a point about the rest of the league, it's a completely different system. Almost everyone else still has a lone striker leading the line. From Kane, Morata, Lukaku, Lacazette down to players like Chris Wood or Andy Carroll. Besides, if you look at the other Manchester team, Lukaku is the top scorer in the league so far, Morata just behind him (with a few other players). Employee of the month is a good example of how someone can be both a winner and a loser at the same time.

RLC has been our best player so far. Get him up there with Wilf and Andros and they could be devastating

Originally posted by jamiemartin721 Wickham when fit has been very good for us. Problem seems to be with him staying fit really.

Oh yes and if he could add finding the back of the net to his repertoire ever other game that would be nice. "If you wana get ahead............Get a hat..... Malcom Allison 1975-76 the glory year.

Connor has been really unlucky with injuries since he's been with us, he wasn't a "sick note" before he came here and there was nothing that could be done about his cruciate. Can't wait for him to be back, he's a good player who has scored some decent goals and gives it his all. "Brighton are talking about how they're coming for us. And it's like, we've been waiting in the Premier League for you for ages." Wilfried Zaha, 2017.

Originally posted by glaziermart Still think there is a top player there if we can get him 100% fit again I agree, showed that in the period he was banging them in. Shame its was only a period. Do these type of injury prone players ever fully recover into less injury prone, i'm not sure.

He is injury prone anyway and therefore no point in including him in future planning.

Wickham will play a major part in future planning because if we ever build a new Main Stand we will need to design a bigger treatment room if he is still with us.
