Why is this bloke playing forward?
Possibly our best at getting first hands to it in the clearances, great tackler, usually has a positive impact at the contest.
I feel he is wasted up forward, he's not a marking target, pretty surprised he managed to kick three.
Surely this bloke is a better midfielder than Ray.
Armitage ?

Agreed. If we can't use him predominantly in the midfield, he shouldn't be playing imo. He's a clearance specialist, not a clever creative fwd. He kicked 3 yes, which was a good return, but was no where near as valuable as the start of the year when playing around the stoppages. If he hasn't got the fitness to play mid, then I'm not sure what the problem is.

Re: Armitage ?
Great tackler (when he doesn't give the free kick away). I'd say he would be our worst offender when it comes to frees against (except maybe for Zac).Cro wrote:Why is this bloke playing forward?

Play him in the middle FFS! He was our best midfielder for about 4-6 weeks, and as a reward for his form, we chuck him up forward for most of the last couple of matches. Really good thinking Ross and the crew!! Kicked 3 goals, but I would have much rather have had him in the square hitting the contests hard and forcing the ball our way.
The Saints are coming!

We won clearances. If he'd played in the middle, i find it hard to see who would have kicked those 3 goals.True Blue Sainter wrote:Play him in the middle FFS!

However, he's a mid, and should be played their.
