This showcases what Paul can do!
Are you watching RUSSELL MARTIN!?

| We thought that we had the answers,
It was the questions we had wrong. |

What worries me is I am not sure Martin knows how to use him and will sub him(if he starts) too soon. |  | | |

It's baffled me that we spent about 18m on Tall Paul and virtually never played him.
Lots of fan wrote him off based on his few cameo appearances.
Classic Saints recruitment really.
Maybe he'll be not much cop but surely he deserves a run of games so we can find out. |  | | |

Looked good in those few clips. Held the ball up nicely and laid it off. |  |

My thoughts exactly.
Give him a run of games and we will find out.
Don't give him a few minutes in the second half when we are losing or even start him and pull him off if he hasn't scored and most important off all play the ball to him when he is in the oppositions half.
Give him a chance,if it doesn't work out so be it at least we will know. | | | |

He certainly made an effort and showed some nice touches and movement.
I would like to see him be given a chance. My fear is that he would be left up front on his own, with no service while we mess around in the middle and back. | | | |

'no service while we mess around in the middle and back'
My worry too,I don't trust this manager. | | | |

Agreed. It's not in RM's style to make use of Tall Paul.
I'd like to see him played as part of a striker partnership with Archer. I think they'd complement each other. Paul can be a focal point and Archer likes to run in behind. But that would probably require a traditional 442 and getting crosses into the box, which isn't trendy enough for Russell. | | | |

Well not as a deliberate ploy when playing a tall centre forward. However, when we play a front line of midgets for reasons best known to Russ we punt a series of hopeful high crosses into the box. Bonkers! | | | |

Tall Paul played 11 times in the Premier League when we signed him, 4 in the starting line up and 7 as sub, totalling 405 minutes so not really a cameo role, during that time I can remember just two chances, one a header that went narrowly wide at Chelsea and the other a header that hit the bar at West ham.
He didn't get more chances because he was doing nothing in the games he played in, he wasn't alone in that the team was collapsing around him
I hope he comes in and does well, if he does will we then hail Sport Republics transfer nous, I hope so, I truly hope that he does well and starts scoring |  |

I agree his stats are not brilliant based on game time to date. However, I don't recall him getting any sort of service in the games he played and we didn't;t play to his strengths. We could have had Haarland up front and it wouldn't have made any difference given how we set up and play.
it's not as if he is going to take the place of an inform striker, so I hope he does get a chance. | | | |

Paul joined at a very difficult time,under 2 very poor managers.
No one knows how he will fare but he should be given time.
What would help if the fans really supported him and gave him the confidence to put himself about.
I would like him partner Archer or Armstrong in a 4 4 2 .
What worries me is who is going to put balls into those front 2.
Perhaps Fernandes is the answer? | | | |

I totally agree with you he needs to have a chance, Archer showed how he can be quick and finish balls when played through to him, but I don't think Tall Paul is that sort of player, he needs the ball played to him in the box where he can use his height and strength | |

Combination of the two may work but has to given time. Good partnerships don’t happen overnight tho.Defenders don’t feel comfortable when there is a big striker in their box and he may help at corners at both ends. | | | |

I’m old fashioned and make no apologies for that. Two strikers, a big fella and a goal hanging whippet to give them something to think about. Personally I’m fed up with all this high block, low block nonsense. Saints have always been an attack minded side and have always entertained, win or lose. At the moment they’re painful to watch. | | | |

Seconded.
Just bloody go for it and give oppo teams something to think about.
At the moment, we are the nicest team to play against for the whole of the Prem, and it just enrages me. |  |

405 minutes is three and a half games. I would say that is tantamount to cameo appearances. Mind you, it is much more than Stewart. |  |
