Cullen v Sheff Utd

[TerryPHELAN]

Felt for him yesterday. Plainly obvious he’s not a 9. He’s also not the type to hold up
Play and bring midfielders into the game.
He struggled.
Hope Sheehan realises this after his(Cullens) performance yesterday.

Bench player now. Never been good enough as a striker, and we've just got better midfield options too.

Can’t believe Cullen started after Wales’s cameo against, albeit a poor Crawley.side.
And that doesn’t reflect well on Vipotnik either.
I like Cullen for his do or die performances for the shirt, but even when we sign a CF, both are poor back ups, literally, going forwards.

Anyone know of Cullen is a 9 or not, haven’t seen it mentioned anywhere.

Doesn't help when we launch long balls to him from Vigs and the CB's.. he didn't win any of those duels in the air. He started dropping deep to get in the game which again gave us no outlet especially in the last 15 mins.

It wasn't just his hold up play yesterday; he couldn't connect with two free headers from 8 yards out and scuffed a sitter just before the goal.

He played some lovely through-balls when he dropped deeper but you aren't going to want to crowbar him into a midfield three that already looks settled. He'll be a good option at "#10' when we need to break a low block.

Can you imagine if Vipotnik had played up front yesterday though? We'd have got overrun. Cullen didn't score or have any chances, but in a tight game against a play off side he is the first line of defence
