Vipotnik

[Vetchonian]

Agree, but not a striker

So why oh why does the manager persist in picking him there.
Its not Cullens fault he is doing what he is being asked to do despite not having all the artributes for that role....then he gets us fans hacing a go. whilst the manager gets no criticism

His incompetence at being caught offside three times when we had attacking free kicks was glaring. Get rid

Absolutely fair and relevant points.

Striker & Winger for Ronald are musts for me going into the deadline, who’s that RW Snoop followed online for Salzburg?

The fact that we rely so much on Cullen just highlights how we have had an unresolved hole in our transfer policy for so long

Let's be honest - our transfer 'policy' has been dreadful for years. And that's biting us on the arse now.

This is the first window in a long time where it actually feels we've upgraded our squad

Well yes that is a question, playing Cullen up top especially against a big defence like today does make one wonder what the plan was, we know Cullen can press etc but he's not a 9 so sheehan must have a reason, no faith in Vip perhaps but the situation makes it clear a new striker is pretty much essential to make the team complete and give us a chance of a top 10 finish this season

It was utterly futile. The front three individually and as a collective were dog food (apologies Monmouth).

Fair bit of projection on this thread. Vipotnik took his chance superbly after coming off the bench on 80ish mins when we were chasing the game.

But let's not pretend he's shown anything to suggest he'd be capable of playing up front from the start for a potential 90mins against decent championship sides.

Cullen we know is no hold guy but his all round game and work rate is (despite Vipotnik's goal) streets ahead.

Maybe we should start Vipotnik next week against a weak Wednesday side and go from there.

Fair point. Cullen busts a gut fair play to him. He’s no Harry Kane though and should play deeper running into the box. Would give us some threat through the middle.

Edit: Kane does both.

Cullen is not a striker, play him behind VIP and see how that goes.

VIP on the bench and Cullen in the stand?

 

[monmouth]

Cullen is a decent player if played correctly and correct position........a striker he is not.

Too often on his heels and wants the ball played to his feet.

League 1, as is Ronald, current Key, probably Eom, VIP, Cooper, and Fulton. Any pretensions toward the pointy end of the league, they all need replaced.

 

[Manselton Jack]

Leave Cullen out for the Plymouth game, play Vip as a centre forward with Wales & Inoussa as the wide players.
Hopefully we'll sign a striker before the Sheffield game.

2 in 2 now... thanks for making me look a right Jeremy Hunt, Mr Vipotnik!!

Getting hardly any service as well. He looks like a player who has point to prove.

We knew he can shoot, he’s done that before, we know he can score now and again. That doesn’t make him the player we need. The decision needs to be based on more than two goals in two games. Cullen can score now and again too, but he’s not what we need, and I’d gamble, neither is Vipotnik. That said, it’s better than not scoring.
