    Big Target Man

    Personally think Vine is gash and was a poor signing from Fenlon.

    I reckon what we need is a big striker who can shift their weight around, someone like Akinfenwa or Parkin, proven goalscorers in leagues of a similar level. Maybe even a return for Riordan, he knows where the net is.

    Just think the current frontline isn't going to be good enough. Fenlon out by the way.

    It's good to see some have retained their sense of humour.

    Akinfenwa or Riordan aren't going to be mistaken for twins. On many levels.

    Riordan is just the kind of big target man we need.

    "Riordan" & "Targetman" shouldnt even be in the same sentence lol . Vine has only played 1 or 2 games? He scored goals for saints. Just because we lost today and we are all a bit peed off theres no need to slate players that didnt even kicked a ball. Anyone who wants Derek Riordan to come back must have mental problems as hes finished. Shadow of his former self.

    If we don't have someone like Griffiths who made his own goals for the most part, it won't matter who we have up front if there are no chances created or support for our striker (s). Unless we attack as a team and have support play, hit the bye line with wingers, we will have no chance of scoring many goals. Folk slag Alex Miller for negative tactics (as did I at the time) but I really can't remember a Hibs team that were so detached from the striker and created so few chances. He at least had them playing as an organised unit with two up. My memory may be blurred but I really can't remember us being this negative in the past, pish yes but never as negative

    Parkin, as in Sam Parkin? Horrific example of a target man.

    I agree though that we need a big target ala Jon daly or even john Sutton esque. We've lacked that player for a while and although liked what I'd seen in Collins he's not that target. Think he'd link we'll with a target man but Collins was the bright light out of a poor display attack wise.

    Vine never was or is a target man . He wasn't on the field today and yet he's the guy you want to have a moan about .

    Felt Collins got little to no support today,and time will tell,but we need to get width and we seem to bothered in losing than trying to win games,the negative play will drive fans away,
    A striker can only be judged on what he's giving to work on,and he had next to nothing today.

    I think you're stupid. Vine wasn't playing. The other players you mention are hilarious. I think you should definitely put your name forward when the "golden" boy leaves though.
