Street

[GazLaz]

We signed a striker to play on the wing, he’s generally looked like a fish out of water apart from the good goal he scored when he ran in behind centrally.

Is there any chance that Grant will try him centrally? His physicality, mobility and pace may be what we need in that position.

[The Dav]

Unless Joe and Billy are injured I can’t see it Gaz, Grant seems very predictable, unless we are chasing a game then who knows !

[Nudga]

Weren't there any specialist wide players available?

Round pegs and all that.

[Pancho Regan]

I have to admit I’m rather puzzled about Street.

I put my doubts aside when he did well to take that goal, but apart from that I haven’t seen much from him.
He does look more like a central striker to me than a winger, so I remain a little uncertain about him and his role.

Confused of North Yorkshire.

[big fat yorkshire pudding]

He's there for a plan b route one largely isn't he, just like mccammon was under SOD. It's clearly an attempt to get around the teams that sit back where we've struggled this season.

[sedwardsdrfc]

I liked our shape v Palace in the 1st half we basically went 442 but with Moly more central. IMO Street and Ironside up top together would be too much for a lot of teams in L2. Moly does his best work out wide so keep him there.

Street looks handy in size and pace and we know Joe will take most things with his back to goal. So surely it’s worth a go.

We seem to always only want 1 up top which I guess is so we have numbers in midfield but in L2 teams aren’t good enough to really take advantage of the spare man. Better we just be a handful up top and play forward a bit quicker imo.

That’s a good shout bfyp.

He’s clearly capable of winning balls put to him in the air & if he took up that wide McCammon role then there’s balls to be headed onto forward players directly from TSL’s kicking accuracy.

It’s another/different formation for Grant to consider using.

I said the same to our old boy as we came out but to me they were pushing that high it was like 4 2 4

Really liked it and IMO it would work in this league where midfield is constantly bypassed

[Move DRFC]

Bringing in Ennis and Street to play out of position at left wing and letting go of Hurst was a strange one.

[Padge_DRFC]

It's Ennis who i don't see has added anything to our starting 11. Better than Yeboah for sure but not better than Gibson

[graingrover]

Hurst in his first game for QP provided a complete contrast to the gerrup’em debut from Street .He floated around following the ball like a voyeur but showed little intent of fighting to get it .

Think he could do some damage centrally, very raw but looks a handful

Yeah, my question was a bite of a passive aggressive rhetorical one. I really meant “what the f**k are you thinking playing him wide when he’s obviously more suited centrally and probably exactly what we are missing.”

[Ian Nimmo]

We need to ditch playing down both wings and get bodies more central, moles has been at his best when playing more central down the channels.
Consistently we are being overrun in midfield with the opposition coming straight through us.

[andyst79]

Gaz I get where you're coming from , just find it bizarre that it's been stated he'd never played as a winger or wide forward but yet we had to do some kind of presentation to Lincolns head/director of football? Please correct me if I'm wrong but I'm sure that's what I've read previously?!

[bobbymax]

Just shows what can happen when you actually put the ball in the box instead of fannying about outside it.

I find it bizarre playing a no 10 in Clifton who's got limited footballing ability and then playing Crew as a holding midfielder who seems our most likely player capable of unlocking a defence.

[johnny rovers]

It's simple. If Joe and Billy aren't doing it......then Street deserves a shot in the starting 11 up front.

Personally I think our formation is our downfall. We should try 2 up from.

Clifton was always best at left midfield for us getting up and down , chipping in with goals and generally not always getting involved in too much build up play as when he was used centrally his lack of technical ability was mostly badly exposed ; I don't think i ever saw him play behind a striker since he was a kid so it must be a relatively new position for him.

[GazLaz]

Street scored with his shoulder today admittedly but they all count.

[Ian Nimmo]

Not seen any replays GL, but from my view behind goal, he headed the ball.

[DRFCSouth]

He had a good game today when he came on. Lots of determination, upset their defenders quite a bit, won a few headers and showed a lot of fight to try and get us back in it.

[mpc123]

Street played well today and apart from Bailey was  the only one at it today.

[drfchound]

I would play Street alongside Ironside.

[ctay]

I disagree that he has looked like a fish out of water. I think in general he’s done well. I’d like to see him up top before Joe and billy tbh. I’m not sure we go up without moly playing unbelievable well or a change of formation.

If we don’t go up our team could look very different next season

[DonnyBazR0ver]

I thought Street did well today and offered more than Ironside. Street has pace to worry defenders, and he tries to find space rather than grapple with defenders as Ironside tends to do.

There needs to be a variety of ways we attack teams, both wide and central. What we saw in the first 15 mins was acceptable and should have been a platform to build and keep doing the basic things well. Collectively though, we stopped, we got slack, the gaps got bigger and we gift away the initiative far too easily. We don't seem to be able to recognise it and do something about it.

There appears to be little communication on the pitch, players not supporting each other, running away from the ball, rather than taking responsibility to want it, as if it's a bomb about to detonate. Mistakes just then compound.

It's hard to blame individuals because everyone contributed to the decline in performance level after those first 15 minutes.

At least McCann said it as it was but the big question, again, is how he gets the players to respond and grab the opportunity to achieve something.

Really missing a vocal leader out on that pitch, we just don't have enough animal in the side to win games like this.

just what is it with a great many manager today, why are they so afraid to have an experienced old head who knows his mind and will speak up?

Its almost like they feel intimidated to have a senior player who's vocal and opinionated and will rally the side.

How would they deal with a Corporal Jones type leader ?

Definitely looked to me that he headed it.  Just watch the replay.

We are missing Woods leadership that's for sure, talks players around him through the game. Like you say a quality that we're definitely missing at present and almost understated.

[steve@dcfd]

The left side of our attack is not good enough we have no balance
In the run last season Maxwell was a very good overlapping defender but due to injuries this season he’s just not the same player. Our left side came to life when we had Adelakun infront of Maxwell. Neither Hurst who was second string last season and hasn’t improved or Gibson have shown the consistency we need. Grant has got to get the left side right or we won’t achieve promotion again this season
