Had we signed Ulloa in the summer

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Buckley is excellent, and Kaz has his moments (he's been more fired up in the last two games than he was for a while - he may have been effected by his court case), but there are other decent wingers in the division too, ours are not the top two.

Underused, perhaps, that's up for debate, but some of ours NSC fans think we should start every game with two wingers, and it's just not as simple as that.

Its probably exactly that simple. Its a game of draughts, not chess. They've definitely been underused.

Would be top 2 as he would have 20 + goals

Regarding 2 wingers , didn't work yesterday. Think at home is better for this formation

Buckley looked knackered in the 2nd half and was off his normal pace , LuaLua seemed to be crowded out. His yellow card changed it around for the 2nd half because Gus subbed him for Hammond who took command of what Crofts should have been doing in midfield.

I agree but two wingers with the target man being CMS or Barnes really wouldn't work. Now we have Ulloa who can score headers KLL and Buckley are a lot more effective

I agree there - everything about our game is more effective with Ulloa, he can hold the ball up, win headers for Buckley to run onto, score with his head or feet, etc etc.

If we can keep this team next season I think we have a real shot of auto's or at least play offs.

You do realise that we have a real shot of the play offs this season?

We wouldn't be too far from the top this season anyway, if it wasn't for last minute goals conceded and missed penalties

Quite. The question should be where we would have been if we'd had Ulloa and Spanish Dave from the start of the season: if we'd scored the three pens that CMS and Barnes missed we'd have had six more points - and that's without the on-field excellence of SD. If we had Ulloa from the start, we'd be top two; if we had Ulloa plus SD and Orlandi, we'd be top.

CMS just has Tourettes Of The Legs, could be absolutely anywhere on the pitch at any given moment

Brilliant

With Ulloa in the side, we are better than both Cardiff and Hull.
