they coped with scott sinclair last week who is probably faster than noble.
Sinclair is a bit like Ashley Young, although he's quite pacey he doesn't try and get in behind defences and doesn't use his pace as well as he could.

Noble will lose the ball anytime he tries to hold it up and will be brushed off it anytime he has any contact with them. I think people think we can just boot the ball over the defenders and he'll run onto it and score, football doesn't work like that or otherwise Walcott would be top scorer.

Some f***ing right knackers on here that sound like Steve Bruce. I assume everyone comming out with this bs about him needing to bulk up are still living in the 1950's.

haway, i think noble deserves a chance but he will never ever be as good as michael owen. I know your comparing them in physicak stature but owen was a very gifted footballer who would have always made an impact regardless of his size.He wouldn't be holding it up, he's not that type of striker. When Owen burst on the scene, do you think he was told to hold the ball up?
He'll be playing on their shoulder trying to break the offside trap but if a chance falls in the box he's likely to be in position to put it away. We have no other strikers capable of doing that at the moment.
I know. People get booked for anything these days, it's not like that lad wouldn't have enough protection.
That is why our tactics have to be better than that, and now I believe we have a manager with enough tactical nous to achieve this.

I genuinely despair at this attitude.
No the wonder we don't produce any skilful players, we tell them to get off the training pitch and into the gym.
A bit hard to be nimble and light on your feet when you're built like a tank.

noble will get a chance eventually and it will be up to him to take it, i reckon he'll be on the bench for the next few weeks.
He needs beef on him otherwise he physically won't cope,also hasn't been playing against the best opposition..

waghorn is only a year older than noble now, speaks volumes about how crucial it is noble makes an impact soon.This is the reason Waghorn didn't get his chance. There's a fine line between being rapid and just being pacey.
Waghorn went too far and bulked too much and lost the yard of pace he had, which got him the goals at reserve level. The goals stopped coming and he was shipped off on loan, eventually leading to him leaving the club imo, no doubting Noble is stick thin, but if this works for him, I can't see Samba catching him in a foot race over 20 yards chasing a long ball.
It's a case of needs must i'm afraid. And he is the ONLY in form striker we have at the club at any level.
