It's no fluke that he scores (and hopefully keep scoring!) a lot of headed goals. What has surprised me though is that they don't seem to come from out muscling his opposite number and getting the jump on him. As you'd expect from a typical big CB.
Looking at his goals:
- vs Maidenhead -
- Barnet (plus other chances) -
- AND the all important opening goal vs Nuneaton -
He seems to be great at getting the run on defenders or sneaking in at the back post off the back of the last defender. Traits - to me - you'd more appreciate with a centre forward.
What am I saying? Not much. Just that I thing he's quality at attacking set pieces and long may it continue.
