Yesterday shows what happens when you add quickness to the front -- Fer was a threat the entire game, which allowed for Bobby Z, a slow but consistent player, to polay a pivotal role as well. When you pair Charlie and Bobby, two slow players, the entire complexion (and success) of the R's offense changes. IMO, always play Fer in the middle up front, flanked by either Charlie or Bobby, then surround that with speed from the wings (Vargas and Phillips). Harry liked it slow; we win when we kick the entire game into higher gear.

I honestly feel playing a one up front with charlie would work if he had Fer playing behind him."What stats allow you to do is not take things at face value. The idea that I trust my eyes more than the stats, I just don't buy that because I've seen magicians pull rabbits out of hats and I know I just know that rabbit's not in there." - Billy Beane

Charlie can't do what Bob did last night...... It's sad, but it is true. His absense from the side was a big factor in that away performance and result. It meant we could play 4231. That and putting Fer where he ought be, having a performing Phillips on the right instead of a miscast Vargas, and by us playing further up the field than we have been largely because we were positive and purposeful.
