Didn't realise that being top goalscorer gave you immunity from ever being dropped.The general consensus here appears that we should drop our two top scorers:thumbdown:
There will be changes as PB has said we have 2 or 3 potentially serious injuries after saturday.
Any news on who ? :stunned:
A couple of changes but not massive. If Ferdinand is unfit move White there and Demitrou back in.
Wordsworth stays in as he is well worth his place in the side and is liable to score goals more than Timlin
Smith
White Thompson Ferdinand Coker
Atkinson Wordsworth Leonard Mc Laughlin
Ranger Cox
Subs Bexton. Demitrou. Innis. Timlin. Amos. Fortune. Mc Glashan
Wot, no Robinson??? I thought he was very effective on Saturday.
I wonder, despite the good strikers we have, if their roles do not overlap too much. Who is the out and out scorer? Cox? For me he has done very well this season and scored goals but, as his assists show, he is just as likely to create chances as take chances. Ranger is a unit without a great goal scoring pedigree. I am sure he has it in him at this level to bag a good few but he primarily seems to be a target man. The same can be said for MAF. Fortune has done brilliantly with us and is a great advert for professionalism. He has added some goals but in the main he puts himself about, very well, and feeds others in.
For me, out of the options, Cox is the most likely to score regularly and I would probably prefer him to be more selfish. He has a lot of assists but more of his efforts to supply others have failed to end in a goal as the others are less accomplished in front of the onion bag.
Quite how the team sets up best is a quandary. 4-3-1-2 would be ideal with Cox behind Ranger/MAF and Robinson. The problem is it would leave the midfield light and probably narrow. I have no answer to this. So in the main it may be best to stay 4-4-2 and get Cox to be more selfish. I believe it would reap more reward.
I am going to Coventry but did not go to Gas. So cant comment on that game, from what i have seen latley/
Robinson is a very good signing but I think Ranger and Cox would be more effective.
We have a very strong bench. No O'Neill or to me Robinson is behind MAF and Mc Glashan. Hard Choice though!!
Wouldn't surprise me if Ferdinand was one of them. He has been struggling for some time.
Hence, John-White being lined up for prematch interviews :unsure:
