    Might as well play Joelinton up front, to make room for Bruno.
    Temporarily I wouldn't mind dropping Wood and try somebody else up front, after the results of the bottom clubs today we need a goal scorer to keep us out of reach and yes, I would put Joelinton in there now he has a bit of confidence in himself.

    Seriously ? He's like a rabbit in the headlights when he's anyway near the goal man.He's a beast where he is & although Wood doesn't exactly inspire me,he is part of a confident team at the moment.

    Suggesting Joelinton up front is probably the most comical thing I have read on here today.

    We have to stick with Wood-there is no other option. Don't know what it is but Joelinton beomes a different player in midfield...however, put him up front and he turns innto the joke that he was the last two seasons. That chance against Everton where he managed to kick it into his own head????? Summed up Joelinton the forward.

    I’d rather put Dubravka up front than Joe. Not just cos the latter can’t shoot but because he’s playing really well in midfield.

    Thing is, he doesn't look like scoring but we've not lost with him in the side.

    Yes a strikers job is to score obviously. But if he can keep doing the dirty stuff he is doing and we win games/don't lose.

    Leave him up front and then get 2 good strikers in the summer and have him as a back up that will leave in a couple of seasons.

    Having Wood up there is fine when you have the luxury of being well clear of the drop zone but we need goals now FFS.

    If Joelinton went back up front, All of the confidence he has gained in midfield, would instantly disapper.
