Out of country, can't go to games so can only watch highlights. D. Murphy seemed very mobile when he scored that winner on Saturday, getting across defenders in a crowded box. Just saying.Bruce Rioja wrote: ↑Wed Nov 20, 2019 10:36 amHe's the most immobile feck* I've seen in years. If he was remotely mobile then he'd be looking to get onto the end of the myriad balls that Dodoo puts into the box. Gets in scoring positions? You're taking the piss.BWFC_Insane wrote: ↑Wed Nov 20, 2019 9:38 amAgreed. Quite a few near me seem to moan about big Daryl. But I think he's really excellent. Keeps going, gets in scoring positions. Holds it reasonably well too though clearly back to goal is not really his game. Mobile as well. Nice to have a proper centre forward up front - we've not had one since Madine.

He was a fox in the box - snap chances type. Didn't run in behind much from memory. Though different style of football of course.Bruce Rioja wrote: ↑Wed Nov 20, 2019 12:57 pmWell, what's that lad called who's now in Australia?BWFC_Insane wrote: ↑Wed Nov 20, 2019 12:27 pmI don't remember the last time we had a striker who got in behind the defence to score one on ones. They were either too immobile or simply not that type - even in league one. Murphy has done that and threatened to do it a few times. He's 36 but I do think he's more mobile than I thought he would be.Bruce Rioja wrote: ↑Wed Nov 20, 2019 12:21 pmI mean, don't get me wrong - with where we're at and what we can offer then I expect us to be playing an immobile veteran up top, and that's what we have. I'm not being critical of him, merely stating the facts.BWFC_Insane wrote: ↑Wed Nov 20, 2019 11:02 am
I don't agree. For a 36 year old he gets in the channels well - see his goal against Rochdale for example - and away at Bristol Rovers.
The problem when Dodoo puts the ball across is often DM is the only person in the box - I think its harsh to criticise him for that - and when he's the only one in the box unless he makes the perfect run to the perfect ball - the defence are favourites.
If you choose to dress him up as something else then fair enough.

...a style of football which wasn't exactly averse to going long. if ALF were an in-behinder we'd surely have tried knocking it over the top a bit more, either via Madine's bonce or just directly.BWFC_Insane wrote: ↑Wed Nov 20, 2019 1:12 pmHe was a fox in the box - snap chances type.

My abiding criticism of Parkinson is that he hadn't the nous to organise his team so that the midfield would play ALF in on the deck. Instead, we'd just miss out midfield and nice person it one up to him so he could feed off of their centre half scraps.Dave Sutton's barnet wrote: ↑Wed Nov 20, 2019 1:16 pm...a style of football which wasn't exactly averse to going long. if ALF were an in-behinder we'd surely have tried knocking it over the top a bit more, either via Madine's bonce or just directly.BWFC_Insane wrote: ↑Wed Nov 20, 2019 1:12 pmHe was a fox in the box - snap chances type.

I do think Parky brought about his own downfall a bit by not getting the best out of ALF. He had a goalscorer who could have got the goals to keep us in the mix last year but he dropped a bollock.
Anyway, I'm a D-Murphy fan and if we keep on keeping things tight at the back, I reckon he'll get double figures this year and who knows where those goals could take us?
