Forward Options

[Josh W1]

Would you take the risk of playing 3 upfront against Leeds , or stick with 2? If 2 , who would you pick ? Would you start with Ian Moore ? Would you trust Crissy even though he's been off the mark lately? Would you give Curran that chance to impress in the big games ?

Personally I'd go for Greenacre and Zola and bring Moore on later on in the game.

Discuss......

I agree, Josh. You can't leave Zola out at the moment and Chrissy is our leading goalscorer. But Ian will be desperate to play for us and against his old club. I can see him coming on in the second half unless we are well in control.

 

[Ian]

Yeah, it might be a bit to soon to be playing him from the start. I would say Zola for sure and Greenacre if he's fit. Although Greenacre hasn't been fantastic this season, he can still stick the ball in the back of the net, more so than Zola. I'm just not sure if Zola and Greenacre play that well together.

I can see Moore coming on at some point in the game. I would be suprised if he played him from the start, as he just needs a bit of time to settle in.

Any combination of Curran, Zola and Moore would be fine for me. I would like Curran to get a start if Moore isn't quite match fit yet. I don't think Greenacre and Zola is a good idea as it hasn't really worked and it didn't work under Little.

Greenacre may be our top scorer but thats probably because he's the only striker that's been allowed a run in the first team, even when he plays poorly. Of the Current striker's I would unfortunately put Greenacre at the bottom based on his form this season.

Thank god Gareth Taylor's gone! Gareth Taylor equaled one thing and one thing only.... Hoof.

Has everyone discounted the possibility of Moore maybe playing out on the right until Shuker gets back? I know Ronnie has bought him as a striker but he can play right wing. Ronnie said he wanted to get someone in for the right wing to move Jennison onto the left... but with Shuker coming back earlier than first thought maybe Moore may play on the right for the time being?

 

[roverstillidie]

Moore is a striker, if you want a right winger theres are perfectly good one in the stands called Jones!

 

[Joe_TRFC]

I believe Moore is best as a striker too but I was just saying he may be used in that role until Shuker comes back. But he wasn't today so maybe he won't be.

 

[SCooperSomersaults]

Moore is a striker, and best as a striker. Play your best players in their best positions, so I'd keep him central where he was excellent today with Zola. In the mean time, JMW is doing a decent job for us, but can't wait to get Shukes back. When everyone is fit, and we have a specialist player for each position we've got a very decent squad imo.

I see Ian Moore got the 2nd goal with his head, which is good, as a concern of mine with Gareth Taylor going was that we might struggle in the air. Zola does not use his height well enough.

Gareth Taylor, while not a personal favourite, hadn't been that bad this season and the criticism of those about hoof-ball, should lay the blame at those doing the hoofing rather than the intended recipient. See he didn't make even the bench for Donny at the weekend.

 

[Ian]

You're right about Zola. Considering his height, he's useless in the air! The good thing with Moore is that he can score with his head and feet.

I noticed Taylor never made the bench for Donny after their impressive 3-0 win. I still think that's a bizarre signing.
