Forget House in all this. He is a good young player, knows where the back of the net is, when he is provided with service and has many attributes which make him an important member of our squad. But we need to be able to play differently to what we did last season because we simply don't score enough goals playing as we did with just him as out and out centre forward who's main concern was running his nuts off chasing players down rather than concentrating in getting in good positions to score goals.
We have to be much more attacking minded this season if Kennedy wants to live up to his promise of bums off seats. We just can't play as a counter attacking team soaking up pressure then trying to hit teams on the break because people, as of last season, will get bored with it. It can be part of the way you play but we need to add strength and height up front in particular because if we play with wide men, and we've just signed one so it looks like we will, what is the point of him beating his opponent to put a cross in that isn't going to be competed for?
Football is about being able to play in different ways and styles and we need to add that dimension to our play.
To me we look as if we have learnt we needed taller, stronger players in other areas, we now need to add that up front to make us more competitive in that area.
