CW thinks it is possible to use him as a striker???

I know it partly worked for Samba at Blackburn but that is because he is a beast, and Worley is no Dion Dublin
Worley upfront???
Worley upfront???
It doesn't matter what people say, I like the 2010/2011 home shirt

Agreed!
To be honest, I could agree with him. Although Samba is by far bigger than Worley, Worley also seems to win the ball in the air regularly. With league 2 defenders there are not many that are actually taller than him or beasts! Only Darren Moore is a CB that could maybe beat him.
Especially if we are somehow losing, I think that 10 mins up front for Harry would give us something different with Smalley and Potter delivering crosses in.
Why not![Wink :wink:](./images/smilies/icon_wink.gif)

This is completely old news. It's on about using Worley as an emergency striker at the end of games, which happened several times last season, and looked threating, but didn't really work massively as he never scored while playing upfront. In terms of playing him for the full 90, it seems unlikely as we have Beano, Pittman (I think), Smalley, Woodley and Craddock who can all play up front, and you'd think you'd have Potter as CF ahead of Worley as well.

I recall Matty standing at the near post flicking the ball backwards to great effect."Dr Bob" wrote:How many times did Matt Elliott actually score when used in this way? Or is it also seeing such a ploy as putting up a big target man for knock-downs, another factor for defenders to have to deal with in the closing minutes, etc?

Re:
True, but weren't we to assume that anyway from the introduction of Dubes, Wright being made captain and CWs comments about needing more experience to ensure consistency? Worley will get a decent run in the team at some stage though I'm sure."Old Abingdonian" wrote:I thought the more important implication was that Worley would be on the bench for most matches....... Almost as if this idea was a kind of sweetener.
