Surely Nuttall’s strength is being a target man? Given his movement – or lack of it!
If you remember last season Nuttall was playing the target man role last season and he was woefully poor in the air. Nuttall never looked like he had the mentality to play as a target man.
Ryan loft was something similar, he had all the attributes to be a target man but didn’t have it in him to play that role either. Nutall going from pre season likes to pull out wide and prefers to run the channels. Only problem with that is the fact he’s not in the box when he’s needed.
Nuttall needs a partner to play off and Carver might be the hard grafting target man “least that’s what he’s supposed to be” to bring the best out of him.
Last true target men we had were Jon Parkin and Super Torps. Joe Garner “who spent more time on the floor feigning injury” did a job as well.
