samptime29 Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 Wilson injury had put a downer on this game. I would have fancied us for qualifying for Europe with them available for rest of season but gonna be difficult now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nexumaster Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 46 minutes ago, Conjo said: Don't know how many times people have mentioned the fact no other clubs have three first team strikers especially with Howe preferring a settled team over rotation how could we possibly keep three strikers happy to stay here? Even Chris Wood was outta here at the first opportunity once both Isak and Wilson were fit, and we were more than happy to sell him. Brighton have three? Welbeck, Ferguson, Pedro? A few others do as well, though obviously some count attacking mids as forwards maybe. Not saying if you have three then they'll all be brilliant or up to the task in the same way, but a young lad to give a go would at least be an option in the situation we find ourselves. Younger player would be hungry to impress but could be managed in a way that helps them learn from more senior players. I'd argue keeping them happy would be much easier if we were in multiple competitions still as well... which we aren't because we've lacked fit, consistent strikers... weird.

SUPERTOON Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 I actually really fancied us before it being likely we will have no striker. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilko Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 I'd be tempted to play Barnes through the middle with Gordon and Murphy either side if we've no recognised striker. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
54 Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 Murphy hasn't trained this week supposedly. Howe also said that Isak is close but won't be available this weekend, and I Howe speak that means he's probably going to start Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
buzza Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 Gordon has played striker before pretty well, would be the obvious choice to have barnes---Gordon.---Miggy up top? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisJbarnes Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 With all the injuries, please just manage a win of any sort, even if it's a hard slog and get the points over the line with no more injuries. Doesn't need to be pretty. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 Wilson is a blow but not a decisive blow. We can adapt for a game or two as long as a Gordon is available. Can’t help but think Bruno will decide this one again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turnbull2000 Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 With Bruno dislodging his kneecap whilst kneeling down cleaning up baby sick, we need Ritchie to step up his game tomorrow as cover. C'mon lad! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can’t help but think Bruno will decide this one again. Again, that will mean we are relying on these front three until Isak or Murphy are fit to rotate. Not exactly ideal when Gordon himself could probably do with the odd game starting from the bench. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
