    time to drop Revell

    Now I know the title is going to get me abuse, but hear me out before having a go.
    Firstly I think Revell is a good players and should stay at the club and be played when it is appropriate. My issue is not with Alex it is with Steve Evans, I think he is scared to gamble and is playing it safe with players he knows, Revell is the prime example. On saturday we could have won that game if we had gone for it, I understand the views about why we didn't but being so cautious isn't us and will not keep us up. Our midfield did excellent 2nd half breaking up playing runing forward into their last 3rd, yes Taylor should look up and pas but...where were the runs from our centre forward, behind the defence with some pace to be able to create a yard of space to shoot. That isn' really Revells strong point and I would like to see JCH or Bowery be tried in that role. I think playing Revell on his own for 90 mins reduces the chances we crate and forces us to play one style, we need to mix it up a bit,

    I would like to rephrase it as "rest Revell".

    When we are in need of a goal - get JCH and Bowery on for pace.

    When we need to protect what we have - no one is better than Revell at defending from the front.

    Saturday was all about not losing for both managers and that was clear from a week before kick-off. So Revell played.

    Not sure Revell needs to be dropped to accommodate Bowery or JCH. Pretty sure he could still retain his place playing alongside either.

    Too important to the team to be dropped imho!!

    Completely agree a change should have been made on Saturday.

    Playing the not wanting to lose card will not keep us in this league.

    we need two strikers up front who will score once we get a settled team.

    Revell is needed sometimes but he is not going to be our top scorer no matter what you say.

    we cant keep playing defence, goals are needed and now is the time.
