How so?

Unsettled their defenders, won a couple of headers which we hadn't won all game, drew the attention of their best header of the ball.

If you say so.

I do. Thanks for your evidence to the contrary.

Well yes I am. As it goes I have seen one or two matches and played in a few too. Sweeney was sent forward to offer extra arial support to the front line (winning flick ons, having that bit of extra muscle to hold the ball up ect) so they could score. They didn't therefore Sweeney wasn't effective in that role.
Sweeney is a fine left sided centre back, a forward he ain't. If a game plan has gone the raspberries to the point where you need to send central defender forward, use Chief, excellent in the air, skilful on the deck and knows where the net is.

Are you just a contrary raspberry for the sake of it?

What because I disagree with you on a discussion forum? Get a grip.

You are absolutely right, it's all about opinions.
And in my opinion you talk raspberry.

Thought Sweeney did OK when chucked up front at MKD, but would agree that Pearce would be more effective, but with the added risk of leaving us less secure at the back.

Personally I would put Turner up front if needed, better in the air than either Pearce or Sweeney and doesn't have as much pace as the other two in order to defend the counter. Adam Murray said this when commentating on MK.
