Anderson? Anderson? Colace? Leon? JCR? They all have the talent to hold onto the ball. They weren't there today so its understandable but yes, Anderson Silva easily has the talent to hold onto the ball and pass it. But our defenders, while they are all very good defensively, have very poor distribution, as does our goalkeeper. We need someone to make the ball stick up there, and none of our current strikers can do it.
Firstly, the Championship is not La Liga or the Premiership, and the top sides in our league have a striker with some presence. What I would say it is not illegal to have a target man who has quality. The good sides we have had in the past have had a striker who leads the line, for example Wilkinson, Shipperley, Ward. This problem has not been addressed since Shipperley departed. If this is dealt with Barnsley will not be far off a top half side.
