Spot on.
With that, having Jonas and Loven coming in would allow Ranger or Carroll to play there and hold the play up. Sorted.
I see your point, considering after the last performance Ranger put in. Also imo Ranger is better at holding the ball up than certainly Ameobi. However, what you need consider is experience and other parts of their game. For me Ameobi gets the nod ahead of Ranger because he has started great off the blocks in the championship and although there is all possibility that Ranger can notch a goal or 2 and really come into his own on a weekly basis, for me it will take time. But as this question was asked now and considering I have only watched Ranger in 1 full (almost 90 min) game, i would have to put Shola in as a starter.
I sitll want Shola to start, I'm just saying playing that means, that Ranger or Carroll, could fill in if Shola is injured or anything else.
