Gone Elsewhere Henderson?

[SotonBlade]

That "lump" called Lambert has International caps you know !!!!

UTB

That was kinda my point

 

[Come from away]

Not likely to happen but does underline the sort of quality we need and why we may have to wait.

Yes, for "England". No great recommendation, that.

 

[GRUMPY BLADE]

The fact we are all discussing the merits of playing either/both Higdon and Henderson is quite concerning

For the life of me, I don't see either player being good enough to play in a promotion winning side

What worries me is the lack of discussions concerning the merits of playing this centre back with that centre back . Apart from Kennedy we haven't got any.

[Collins is not the answer and one of the reasons why we are in the third tier in the first place].

Neither is Kennedy...

 

[Sirius]

He has been on trial at Forest - it was widely reported a couple of weeks ago.

I'm not saying Henderson would be my first choice by any means but there is no harm in having a (free) look at him. He would certainly add a different dimension (height, size, physicality, heading ability, bolster the defence at set pieces etc) to the side (perhaps from the bench) and one we were sadly lacking last season.

Maybe NA is considering him as a more direct, battering ram type option. The only thing being, I thought Higdon was meant to be our plan B when the pretty, tippy tappy stuff doesn't break defences down.

I did see the Chief. Would someonebe kind. Enough to compare and contrast the respective qualities of Mr Allison and Mr Henderson?

 

[GRUMPY BLADE]

Agree, which is a shame, such a pity about his knee/s.

He's the reason why I go on about needing three c/h's.

I'd rather we signed Steven Davies back. I don't think he's signed for anyone yet, has he?

Yes Bradford. But agree he was more mobile than Henderson.

Not sure why we never signed him when we had chance. I thought he added a lot towards the end of the season.

Because one goal in seven games is a poor scoring record and he has an injury history like James Wallace.

Of course, had Clough stayed , he would have signed him.

As for Henderson, I can only say that I can't remember hating a Blades player as much as I did Henderson when he missed that open goal when it was 1-1 vs Boro in 2011.

Which of the four are you recalling?

He scored at least three that I can remember, including the one against Donny at home, up there with Murphy's, and the header against Swindon in the away leg of the play offs was great. He was often brought on from the bench so did not start that many games and he gave us a badly needed physical presence up front, one which we will be lacking again this season at this rate.

Or loving one as much when he thumped in an angled winner, for his hat trick at Ashton Gate

That was his first ever professional hat trick I think? Great day!

2 goals in 14 league games is one in seven.

Including playoffs it's one in five. Not good enough either way.

 

[mattbianco1]

[Collins is not the answer and one of the reasons why we are in the third tier in the first place].

We were doomed before Collins signed.

Collins would've also got player of the year for me in Wilson's 2nd season. We was top of the league at Xmas, he got injured boxing day. We were screwed by the end of January.

Not good enough if we are relying on him for all the goals, but unless we have someone of similar stature (but better, of course) up front, to be the strong man, hold up the ball, bring others in, and have half a chance of winning in the air from corners, it could be a much trickier season than we all hoped for.

 

[Aston max]

Just playing devils advocate ,but if I had Murphy and JCR/Flynn/Woolford on the wings and Done upfront ,I would rather see Henderson partner him than Billy Sharp.

Wots up with higdon?
Still no tongue in cheek avatar

[SB_90]

Only just seen this rumour & 1st thought oh please no he was big money flop at Leyton Orient who got relegated & for the same reason I wouldn't be too disappointed if didnt get sharp that I think our forwards are fine mcnulty che adams higdon & Murphy whose better thru the middle

 

[Bladesman]

http://www.shoot.co.uk/category/news/ex-millwall-striker-offered-blades-return/

eight goals in 25 appearances for the O’s in all competitions last season

Sounds like the man for us then.

Seems like we are having a 2010 squad reunion. Maybe we could get Harper and Naysmith.

 

[Bartleby]

This source said that Sharp would sign this week

I think he did, yes - and the week is still young. Star running a report today saying 'sources close to the negotiation process recently confirming that both United and Leeds are “not a million miles away” from agreeing a fee'

 

[Latters]

If we negotiate our fees in miles something's going wrong somewhere.

 

[William Large]

In friendly games he could fill a role. Perhaps Higdon is Adkins first choice but doesn't want to risk him for full games, Henderson would give us the same option if Higgo wants a rest...

How's that for a positive spin on this rumour? [/QUOTE]

I bloody hope that's the reason he's training with us. I actually think that a fit (yes fit) higdon will do a good job in this league.
