When we played down Home Park season just gone in November and lost 2-1 that guy looked really menacing to our defence, and if my memory corrects me think he scored a pretty good goal. We should have at least grabbed a point there, came away quite frustrated. I wouldn't mind him down Dagenham way.
I think Murphy is an out and out goalscorer, the only problem is he only really looks threatening once he is behind the last man. If anything we need someone with a little bit of intelligence to play the number 10 role, drop a little deeper and play the balls past the last defender for Murphy to get onto.matt_drfc wrote:I could see Murphy playing the #10 role if we got an out and out goalscorer..

Well Well Well... All this talk of getting behind the last man and scoring goals is a bit different to how we were talking last year!!
But you're right, we do need a goal scorer. Once Murphy went off the boil after the Peterborough experience, we limped through the rest of the season looking only half the team who surprised us all so much in the first half of the season.

I would like Murphy to be the striker, just saying if we did sign another striker, then it could happen.. Think Burnett said in one of his interviews that the formation he wants to play is 4-2-3-1/4-4-1-1. I reckon Ogogo, Bingham in the 2 deeper CM positions. Elito and Hines (if he signs) on the wings..OBD wrote:I think Murphy is an out and out goalscorer, the only problem is he only really looks threatening once he is behind the last man.

Is this the 1950s? Murphy is a fantastic complete forward at league two level - he runs from deep, he draws defenders and he's a superbly intelligent player. I watched the Wimbledon game from behind the dugouts and I had a great view of the way he works - he's constantly looking around for options, and defenders. If he can master his short range passing slightly more he'd be the best number 10 in the leagueARNU wrote:Murphy is a goalscorer and a good one but he's not a no10.He cant head the ball for shit and any no 10 needs that in his armoury.
