Boab 73 Posted September 22, 2007 Share Posted September 22, 2007 At this point, it seems that we may play the 1 up-front throughout our Champions League and it doesn't seem that KB could be the man to lead the line in this system, as yet. However, if Boyd were to play and then to score he would then silence many a doubter as this would be goals against 'top class' opposition. Views? Could we play the 2 upfront at one point?

Emerson 2 Posted September 22, 2007 Share Posted September 22, 2007 Cant see it to be honest. We cannot afford passengers at this level and with the games we have, he has no chance. We will be 1 up for most of the games and to be honest, the likes of Novo offer more for the team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomlin Bear 1 Posted September 22, 2007 Share Posted September 22, 2007 I think Boyds involvement in the CL will all depend on injuries and the circumstances of the Group. Rangers would need to be in a strong position in the group for him to start a match and for a fit Darcheville to be sacrificed, and if it's not Darcheville it will be Cousin. KB is a penalty box player whose main asset is to sniff out goals and not have an integral part of the creation himself. To that effect what am trying to say without upsetting too many here is that KB is not a "footballer". We need spark and energy and most of that comes in the CL to the forwards dropping deep to offer the midfield support. In the SPL Boyd will get goals as he has support and wing backs getting the opportunity to get to the bye-line which is done easier against inferior opposition.

Muff 245 Posted September 22, 2007 Share Posted September 22, 2007 I'd play 4-5-1/4-1-4-1/4-2-3-1 in all of our European games and that means that Boyd misses out. Would he of put in a Darchy performance the other night, not a chance. We cant afford to play Boyd up top on his own. He misses out for me! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poetry_In_Blue 1,043 Posted September 22, 2007 Share Posted September 22, 2007 I think it will depend on the situation, if we are in a game and losing and are forced to put another striker on then Boyd would probably be an option as he is the kind of player who could get a goal from nothing. Whilst the 4-5-1 position is played then no he won't get a game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

excoriate 0 Posted September 22, 2007 Share Posted September 22, 2007 I don't think he'll get a game. The way we will play, we need mobility and speed in the counter attack. KB as someone already said, will be used for the long ball tactic in the last 20 minutes of a game if we're 1 or 2 down. And even then, Cousin will probably get the nod before him.

*Manticore* 1,893 Posted September 22, 2007 Share Posted September 22, 2007 As has been said he just can't play the lone striker role so he won't get many if any chances. Maybe when we're cruisin' 3-0 up against Barca.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nvager 498 Posted September 22, 2007 Share Posted September 22, 2007 Boyd will come on in the CL when we NEED a goal? Perhaps, but when we were down to Stuttgart Boyd never came on. Personally I like Boyd and would play him as he is a natural goalscorer, but on his own up front I prefer JCD. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
