welchy up front
 

welchy played up front last night for the reserves he scored one of his trade mark 25 yard free kicks and was involved in both other goals any comments?

Tell him to make sure he scores a few on Saturday - from whatever position he plays :D

Re: welchy up front
 

yeah, don't tell Revived Red - he's been advocating it for weeks!


Didn't see the first half but in the second half he looked a handful without actually doing anything. Hard for the defenders to deal with because he can mix it with em but his footwork let him down. You can tell he is isn't a forward because of it and I don't think that League 2 defenders would have the same problems as Carlisles' young lads had. However I think he did enough to prove that he would be useful to throw up front alongside the regular strikers if we desparately needed a goal.

Surely with 2 big men up front (Welchy and Mullers) then the wide men would have some wonderful targets to aim for, and he has a wicked free kick as a back up.

Re: welchy up front
 

Still no out & out striker though.
Bringing Welchy on up front for the last 15/20 could help, but I think the more favourable and glaringly obvious option of starting David Brown is too quickly looked over.

Re: welchy up front
 

David brown played the full 90 minutes in the centre of midfield at the reserves game last night. Make of that what you will.

Re: welchy up front
 

Yes I agree with you shakermaker, David Brown is to easily overlooked by the management, in fact I was suprised that there was no substitutions last week, but hey what do I know, I am only a supporter of the club. Maybe have Browny and Whalley out wide to aim at Welchy and PM, now that might just be the start of an attacking line up to fear, especially now Jay Harris is out due to suspension.

Re: welchy up front
 

David was all stripped and warmed up to come on on saturday, then we scorded and he sat back down!!!

Re: welchy up front
 

Exactly as we used to with Jonathan Smith
- and that usually worked

Not sure I agree with your besmirching of Crouch - if anything Crouch is the opposite of what he should be, i.e. no body strength and poor in the air but tidy on the deck!

Re: welchy up front
 

im going to have to agree with the charming man on that - crouch is dreadful in the air but decent with his feet.

by the way this charming man, have you still got that light that never goes out?
