    Striker crises?

    As with most I’ve been screaming out for 2 up front. Bt with safranko away and sow out with a chipped toe nail or something who do we go with up front?

    I wld go with cammy and Clark b4 over young matty. Bt I fear RN will stick with 4231 with Clark having to come deep and starved of service.

    He will stick with 1 up i reckon and that will be clark and smith behind maybe. Clark has had his injury issues too so lets hope they dont come back. Regardless if formation we can still win a lot of our games simply with a bit of urgency to our play. Clark seems a goalscorer to me. Two games safranko is out for but god knows whats up with Sow

    I haven't seen anything to suggest Robbie will change formation so we only actually need one fit striker.

    When it's not Safranko or Sow it needs to be Clark with Smith, at last, getting a match in his best position.

    Agree

    And it might actually benefit us not having 2 tall strikers who rarely win headers in the team, so nae lang baz please

    EXACTLY! ------- Opposing centre backs love playing against us. Even the few balls we win in the air have to come back the way as there is no one ahead of the player winning the header.

    Surely this is old news ?

    We have had a "striker crises" all season.

    A forced change might be a good thing.

    Agree - no crisis.

    Be good to let Clark have time as a striker.

    Also have Matty or Cammy Smith up front or Pawlett or McMullan can play as the 1 up and rotate under RN system

    Agree about the Clark bit. He's more than capable as long as we give him something to feed off.
    Maybe play Cammy more central just off him/central. Try and get some width with Pawlett and McMullan.

    Don't think Robbie will do this though, it's too obvious!

    Have always thought McMullan would make a good striker in a 442. He's a far better finisher than he is crosser of the ball. Not difficult really given he's one of the worst crossers of a ball I've ever seen mind you.
