Street

[grayx]

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.

Totally agree.

Street has to play, he is fresh with not having played that many minutes this season. Particularly if we're going to play Gibson and 433, because Street's the only one with enough mobility to deal with being more isolated. Gibson wants the ball to feet in wide and deep positions, no good for Ironside.

Ironside was great against MK because he had pace either side of him and wingers who played more like strikers (Ennis, Mols). Just like he was great in the second half of last season with Haks and Mols. He drops deep becuase he's slow but he looks afer the ball very well. People forgetting he got 20 league goals last year too. Although I'm not sure why he's struggling to win headers all of a sudden - fitness?

It's all about getting the right combinations. Another forward option like Street should have been added in the summer instead of Sharp. Ellis Harrison wasn't getting games at MK dons for example. Yes some will say Billy's scored 8 league goals, but I would say at the expense of our total goal output and team cohesion.

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.

Maybe Grant read this post. Took 3 minutes to be proven right as well.

He looks superb, a real handful but mobile too.

How’s it taken 9 games for him to start him there? Obvious he wasn’t a winger after seeing him for half an hour.

[Glyn_Wigley]

We were always going to play more high balls on this pitch so it seems the logical match to try him down the middle.

[The Dav]

Street - take a bow lad ! That was a proper centre forwards performance !

[pib]

Reminds me a bit of the last striker to wear the 9 shirt for us. Bit rough around the edges and not the most clinical, but gives us something different with his movement and turn of pace.

He will be pissed off he didn't get the match ball, should probably have had three tonight.

There’s no probably about it he should have had three goals. His pace made the difference especially on the floor on a better pitch.

He was really good but without a doubt he should have squared the ball for Gibbo to tap in when he hit the post from that narrow angle.

[Cramby10]

He was very good and gave us a different dimension we haven’t had for some time. However, he should’ve had 4 tonight. Thankfully it didn’t cost us. The signs from him are good.

But Gibson should have scored great skill but then puts over the bar

Agreed, I was furious when he skied that shot, but it doesn’t change what Street should have done.

[ncRover]

How the hell wasn’t he getting any game time at Lincoln?! 51 minutes in half a season for them

[DollyRover]

Showed more attacking threat in the first 5 minutes than either sharp or Ironside. I know they both bring different qualities and we'll likely need them all in the run in but he deserves more starts in that position for me

Disagree, it wasn't that much of a narrow angle. Should have been a goal.

Hit their keeper in the face, but he still should have squared it to Gibson.

I guess as a loanee you’re perhaps more likely to increase your kudos by netting another goal rather than playing the ball to a ‘teammate’ you’re never likely to see again come May.

Or is that me being unfair?

And I disagree with you in that the square ball was the better option.

No issues there pal, we don't all have to agree on everything.

For me I want a greedy striker, who wanta goals. Just an opinion.

My point was it wasn't that narrow, for me the question was on his finishing not if he should pass.

It’s football, not everyone see it the same way.
It’s also a team game and a second goal there finishes the game.
I played up front all my life, and still do, and as much as I like scoring I would have squared that ball every time.

Yep, no issues with the above mate, it's a team game.

But with my rose tinted glasses of my days of playing I would have scored 

[GazLaz]

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

Confirmed tonight he scored with his shoulder. They all count. He was a real handful tonight. He’s never going to be clinical but he offers what we have been missing up top with his running in behind.

[Padge_DRFC]

The fact he should have had 3 or 4 goals is refreshing. There's some games the other 2 haven't gave themselves a sniff. First choice now for me

[ncRover]

I was listening to not the top 20 podcast and they mentioned the fact that Rob Street in his career has never really played for good attacking teams doing well. This could explain his previous poor goal return, hopefully not poor finishing.

I think Grant said he was “probably too good for the league” while some looking for that “statement signing” were underwhelmed. He could be right though, as you don’t get many league 2 strikers with his size, mobility and ability. Can only think of Jatta at Notts who has it all.

I didn’t mind the signing at the time as he fitted the profile of player we needed. Then Grant opted to play him wide…

I agree. Yeah my point was I think people want to sign strikers with proven goal scoring records, but it’s more important to look at the correct profile of centre forward to help the team as a whole.
Gillingham signed players based on how many goals they scored last year and look at them!
