Who to play up front tomorrow....

[Da Man Clay]

I agree, and with O'Callaghan we may finally have someone who can pick a pass, those two would be the best for getting in behind the defence for him. I don't think there is much to choose between any of them bar Forster really.

Agreed. I only think Robinson because of his pace and the fact we now having a midfield that maybe able to pass. If we were just going to be bypassing midfield then Revell and Forster would be the best choice.

 

[Caveman]

Its nice to have the dilema of having options to choose from.

Lets hope they both play and are decent enough!

 

[Braders]

Elder and Revell

is the correct answer..

 

[Dave the OAP]

is the correct answer..

so what was the point in buying Forster

 

[Caveman]

Definitely Forster. He's obviously by far the best player, and now he might just get a bit of service with these two new chaps. My pecking order for his partner would be:

1) Bas
2) Elder
3) Robinson
4) Revell

Revell last? Why last? I can see that Savage & Elder offer some muscle upfront, but last in line?

 

[Braders]

so what was the point in buying Forster

the idea i'm sure was that even with his aging years he'd be a positive influence amongst the other strikers in the squad and hopefully a cut above the rest of this leagues strikeforce

the second one hasn't happened as yet - he's been marked out of every game!

fair enough...as I havent seen him play I cant comment.

I am strangely optimistic about the next two games. I put my optimism down to the five pints I had at lunchtime.

Up front: Revell and Forster.

 

[the right footed denilson]

In this league there is no substitute for good old-fashioned brutality.

Revell and Elder, i think, give us the best combination of workrate and sheer brute-force.

Without sounding too much like a footballing cliche let's get into them, f*** them off.

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

Savage and Elder upfront with Revell as sub and drop Forster to the reserves to buck his ideas up.

Its always the same Until 3.05pm on Saturday.

Good to see your analytical fingers are in the pulse again...

 

[The Large One]

Bas and Elder because I think they are the best of the bunch, and offer the most goal threat. They are also a physical presence which may work well alongside Forster. Then, there's not much to choose between Robinson and Revell really - you can make them joint third if you like! Both of them do some decent things, but overall aren't really good enough in that position.

:thud: Encroyable!

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

All joking Al, the dream ticket upfront is Savage and Elder, Wilkins has not managed to figure this out yet unfortunately.

I'm not going down this road of you digging at Wilkins or Forster every five minutes - it's boring and pathetic.

Bas can't or won't jump, so his effectiveness in the air is negligible - he actually works better on the wing. Elder is OK, but too one-dimensional. Revell has been playing well. All of the forwards have been starved of service by an under-achieving midfield.

The 'dream ticket' of Savage and Elder upfront has far too many problems going for it to not allow Revell and Forster to start.

 

[The Large One]

Yep, good chance for you to use the traditional thud smilie just because someone DARES to disagree with you.

Oh, get over yourself.

For what it's worth, there's not much to choose between them. Robinson has a million times more talent, Revell works a million times harder - it's down to whatever you prefer.

But, in that statement, at a stroke, you are completely dismissing Revell's pace and talent - both of which he has in spades. He is good in the air, good on the deck, knows how to spot a good pass etc. Jake has plenty of talent and plenty of pace, but doesn't really have a 'football brain'.

There's plenty to choose between them.

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

I would really love to see Savage and Elder upfront but Wilkins will stick with forster even if he has 45 blanks he will play him upfront in the last game but Alan is probably right of course as he always is and has NEVER been wrong about anything.
