When Town bought Delap 19:06 - May 27 with 1634 views

Do you believe KMc bought Liam Delap to lead the line on his own or did the injury to George Hirst, the failure to land the Greek guy or Broja ( lucky escape) force his hand? Was he bought to add more pace and power to the three behind a number 9 but because his early season form was outstanding, he fell into the defacto no 9 at the club. I genuinely feel we would have had more success as a team had Hirst been fit and Delap played as a 10. I guess though it worked better for Delap than the team.

Think Hirst would definitely slated to start the first game if he'd been fit.

We obviously wanted a different number 9 as that shirt was left and finally given to Enciso. Which means we never got a man we wanted for that position.

Then hirst was injured and with a lack of 9 Delap becomes that player by default.

Im sure at the time he was said to be competition for Burns / whoever the ‘main’ striker signing was, sadly the latter never materialised.

Pretty sure we’d have seen him as a striker. It’s not unusual to start youngsters out wide (as we did with Hutch even though KM saw him more as an option for the central role.

Do you think Pert is key to all of this?

The stuff about him being signed to play on the right was always 2+2=5 but seemed to become received wisdom. Think it's fair to say he wasn't expected to start as many as he did so early in the season tho.
