Our first team coach should already fit the bill. Andy Parkinson is a similar build, was also fast and played in a similar position. Is Andy not a very good coach or is Harvey just not listening?I just wish saunders would get some goals. It makes you wonder why the club don't get one of our old forwards in to give him some advice and coaching something that he quit clearly needs if he could unlock that he would be an amazing player. But it prob won't happen

Luke isn't even 6ft which is nothing nowadays, I'd say he was decent at defending corners which is where Nigel is concerned. LOC is poor for a competent defender and when Walker misses out we are short. We've been down to the CD's splitting the box between them which is risky, mind you we used to back Clarke to get to all corners!!Bigger does not = better.
Some of our best players across the park this season have not been the tallest. Connor Jennings is arguably one of the best headers at the club, while Luke Norris, although not header averse unlike some of our former strikers, could make better use of his height.
It would be interesting to know how our average height compares to others in L2. There have been some teams that have had a fair proportion of the archetypal brick outhouse players in their side, though we haven’t lost all of those. Is it a psychological thing when we come up against the giants, results would suggest otherwise.
Half an inch under. I agree that he’s decent defensively in the air, but still think he could offer more aerially in attack. It was surprising to read that he’s just shorter than Connor Jennings, who’s a decent header of the ball.Luke isn't even 6ft which is nothing nowadays, I'd say he was decent at defending corners which is where Nigel is concerned.

Not sure Walker has got into he opponents box all season, not his role though.Half an inch under.

Walker again good in the air defensively but don’t recall any major contributions further forward.
Depends on who’s on corner/set-piece dutyNot sure Walker has got into he opponents box all season, not his role though.
And if he did, he’d take five minutes to get back into his normal position.Not sure Walker has got into he opponents box all season, not his role though.
Harvey definitely seems hungry. I have to question what goes on behind the scenes, our rookie strikers (Mullin, Nevitt) seem to do better when they leave and when we sign proven goal scorers they don't produce (Hemmings, Dennis , Norris) for us. It would be interesting to see Harveys Shots/Goals ratio .Could be a little of all 3 poor coaching not enough talent and doesn't listen or just not hungry enough to improve either way we have got a player who isn't a striker more a target man who even if he was on corporation road he would not score
Unless he never shoots it won't be good. From memory his last goal was one on one and he tucked it inside the far post one on one. He had tow further near identical chances that match, inspired by new confidence, he slashed them high and wide of the near post with zero control!Harvey definitely seems hungry.

Going off topic slightly AM where is a good place on the Wirral to get your kitchen knives sharpened ( I have a couple of Wustoff's that have lost thier edge)
Mullin was nor a rookie striker when we signed him, he had played over 150 gamesHarvey definitely seems hungry.

tnx they were quite pricey so I don't want to f them up, I sharpen by cheaper ones, with mixed resultsTher was a place in the market in birkenhead but its gone if you look on line you can find then there but at £3 a knife its not cheap better getting a knife sharpner online and do it yourself
