Don’t think he’s a Warnock kind of number 9  Think he’ll want two big target men in his squad (or 1 plus Fletcher), supplemented by Watmore Oh, and Akpom  |

Thing is at Blackpool, Ellis Sim is the target man and a good one at that. On loan from Everton though.
Must admit like, I dont get this obsession with the 'big target man'. When have we ever seen it work?

In my time: Billy Ashcroft Archie Stephens Paul Wilkinson Brian Deane Mark Viduka (bit of a dis-service including him in this list) |

Funny because as a youth i kind of remembered him like you did but someone told me i was wrong. So i checked it out and they were right. Its also stretching it to say Deane and Ashcroft were a success, they were dogshit in fact Paul Wilkinson ill gives ya |

In my time: Billy Ashcroft Archie Stephens Paul Wilkinson Brian Deane Mark Viduka (bit of a dis-service including him in this list) 20 odd years ago. The game has changed so much. Watch Blackpool v Sunderland right now and Charlie Wyke would be decent for us. Leadbitter is controlling the game , probs still better than any of our midfielders. |

Define success? It’s often the ones playing off the target man who get the goals and plaudits. I always quite liked Ian Baird  |

Having said that, Warnock does love a shit target man. He was moaning the other week that he hasn’t been able to sign a 20 goal a season striker in years. That’s because you always sign big fucking lumps, Colin |

As for Warnock he's not about to go all pep or klopp on us so we need a target man big or smaller doesn't matter but they need to be good in the air and hold the ball well |
