He's strong, OK in the air and has a great shot on him.

I reckon he could 'do a job for us'.

Discuss.

No- lacks pace, ability to hold up ball and most importantly the right sort of mentality although i may just have to eat my words because for the last three seasons he's been a AM RL in champ man so you never know....

I think this all highlights how much we could do with Iwelumo right now.

As for Reid up front, he has never struck me as being particularly strong or great in the air; to me his main ability is in midfield where he gets his foot on the ball and passes it well.

He's a bit tiddly though - we need a lumbering giant of a striker.

What about Paul Camilin (BHAFC press officer)? Saw him play in a REMF game. Ok he's a complete DONKEY, but he'd scare the crap out of the opposing defence.

Think I might suggest this on Ask The Club...

:jester:

His face was redder than a beetroot after five minutes.

Anyway, he has much more important things to do...like picking the team!

I think Mike Reid would do a better job.

I think it is a fair comment for the West Ham match if Adam Virgo, Chris McPhee and Gary Hart are all out injured.

I think with the money we've saved on Blackwell, Roger and Piercy we should be able to afford a decent striker!!!

Suggested Jarrett yesterday but change the tactics and run at defenders.

I'd love us to play this way... Wigan are great at this.... but we need a midfield packed with creativity and I'm not sure we've got that.

me? I'd try it with the followign line-up

Kuipers

El Abd, Cullip, Virgo, Harding

Reid, Nicholas, Hammond, Currie

Knight, Jarrett


Or put jarrett on one wing, Currie on the other and take a risk with Ronbinson or Molango

WHAT?

Why are people forgetting Chippie exists, he should ALWAYS start alonside Nicolas in the middle.

Up front I would go for Molango or jarrett, its got to be worth a shot.

gonna have to go back to 4-4-2 against west ham and play two strikers to give ourselves the best chance, they are not exactly water tight at the back as Cardiff proved last week. We need to go at them with pace and support from midfield better than we have been doing. All four of ourt best midfield players for me hammond, currie nicolas and chippy can all passs the football very well, would like to see reid at right back period as also likes to keep the ball on the deck and we need to feed our front two rather than hit them with silly balls all the time. we can get a result this weekend :clap2:
