Our pool of strikers on paper is well above average but on grass is poor.
I just can decide our best 3 to play upfront.
The only formation I think will work is Brown in the middle with Campbell and Fosu either side.
I’m getting close to admitting that Delap won’t hack it - he’s just too inexperienced

AN like others before him, what system suits us best, and who plays well up front together. Think we’re better with 3 up top Fosu, Ty and one other, but the others don’t fit the role as yet

The abuse I got for telling the truth re Gayle. He’s absolutely gone.
We definitely one in January.
Him and Brown were garbage tonight. Messed up enough chances to win a couple of games.

For me, you knew before kick off they won’t play well together. Think Delap has to start in A 3-5-2. We look better with a 3 up top.

Said it before and I’ll say it again, as a focal point our best striker is Nick Powell. Whether he could play that role week in week out is debatable……

Where we get one I havnt got a clue.

They really are. Gayle is gone big time and Ive frankly had enough of Brown. Delap has been a massive disappointment hasn't he? He looks really out of his depth. How do they put up with him in training at Man City. He just bumps into people randomly and knocks them over.

I’m not sure what paper you’re referring to? We don’t look good up front on any sort of front. I know people will defend the likes of Gayle (who seems to move like Freddy Star doing the sped up music bit), but he hasn’t shown any signs of scoring in the last 4 or 5 games, at least.
Delap can bully his was around an under 21s game but isn’t getting the same results playin championship football. Brown is awful, how he got 15 goals last season I do not know, and Powell has a touch of Cristiano Ronaldo, in the sense that he shows some lovely touches, but seems to only produce when wants and acts like a bit of a pre Madonna. It doesn’t bode well.

Can't help but feel Delap is a few seasons too early and Gayle a few too late
Brown and Campbell also lack the ability to make the right choice of late

It's a shame Fletcher wasn't a few years younger. Would've been ideal Yes we always seem to get them in their later years or in the case of Delap before they've gained the experience however I suppose that is why we got him in the first place. I know there's no chance but a Brereton diaz or kieffer moore type player would do for me, someone in that mould.

I think all four of our supposed strikers have been poor this season,the choice of who to play up front has become a real conundrum for all the wrong reasons.

I think Campbell has been better than the concensus allows but should have scored more. The other 3 have been toss.

Campbell was poor in his last game, possibly because he was carrying his illness, before that I thought he was looking very good and always has a goal in him.

It's a conundrum that's for sure
I thought Brown was awful tonight and at Norwich, Gayle actually played well first half but not as a striker and Delap just looks completely out of his depth.
I do agree that Campbell is the best of a very poor bunch and when fit has to start. I think persisting a little longer with Gayle and Powell (who frequently switched roles tonight) in support of Campbell is likely the best option currently available so that would be my 'best of a bad bunch'

Whoever the strikers are we have to make chances Tymon and Powell are crucial to that I think Sterling can add to that too Baker set piece delivery can be better too

I agree Gayle is done as a goal scorer but unfortunately until January he has to start because he is the only forward who can link the play.
Brown has been awful but he's had a long spell out so I'll cut him a bit of slack for a few more games.
Delap (who I was really excited about) is way out of his depth at the moment. Tonight's cameo was awful.
Campbell has to start when fit because even though he can be lazy he's the only one of the four who's a genuine goal threat.
We really need to pull a rabbit out of the hat in January and send Delap back if possible.

Our pool of strikers on paper is well above average but on grass is poor. I just can decide our best 3 to play upfront. The only formation I think will work is Brown in the middle with Campbell and Fosu either side. I’m getting close to admitting that Delap won’t hack it - he’s just too inexperienced 'pool of strikers', I love it! A half decent lawyer would have them under the 'Trade Descriptions Act'

The abuse I got for telling the truth re Gayle. He’s absolutely gone. We definitely one in January. Him and Brown were garbage tonight. Messed up enough chances to win a couple of games. The 'abuse' you get is probably cause you can't wait to stick the knife in as often as possible. Most likely why most people on this board can't stand you

Most likely why most people on this board can't stand you Because I tell the truth. 0 goals in 17 games now and it never looked like that would ever not be the case. There’s no need for abuse for saying a clearly over the hill striker is over the hill. It’s pathetic.
