Don't agree with the 'can't play football like that with Denton on the side', Dave.
Infact I'd argue he'd benefit it, being a target man in the box and attracting defenders so giving space to others.
There's an ongoing debate whether Denton's a starter or a finisher, but what there's no debate about is he offers a credible option...
Good thread this. Only taken 5 years but we've got our football team back, finances permitting.
I just think that with him the team then all the others have to play to different instructions, opponents get organised so that the long ball is the easiest option for our defenders and goalie, and 'pressing' (like the jargon?) don't work. Apart from that.......
I suppose the devil lies in the detail though. There must be key measures of team effectiveness with and without him that JR fawns on.
