    Joelinton can hold up the ball, and drop into midfiled when were off the ball, and help winning back the ball.

    Hes a totally different player now, worth a try.

    I would like it to be Wood, because hes poor.

    However, we would have to play without a striker.

    i guess it would have to be Shelvey if I had to make a choice. Bruno appears to be the real deal so it would be an immediate upgrade to our midfield, harsh though it might be on Shelvey.

    Joelinton looks great until he gets anywhere near the opponents box then it all goes tits up

    So cant Wood. If Joe can hold up the ball so Willock, Bruno, Maxi, Shelvey and the others can arrive and shoot, I think we could create more.

    We have to find a way to use Bruno instead of Wood. Obviously they are different players, so we need some other system or formation.

    Wood offers nothing.

    Not being funny. But taking Wood off would be a mistake. He needs minutes. He needs service that he can use - that is probably flighted crosses than balls on the ground - and he needs more of a chance.

    He is an effective target man. And once he can get his ar'se in gear, he'll be a better option than anyone else we can play there.

    If we hook him now, not sure he'll do anything this term. And we need him to.

    We need to play to his strengths a bit more. Right now he is too static but I'm sure EH will fix that. He seems to need the ball landing on the middle of his forehead and we're not doing that yet.

    This. He’s clearly not firing at the moment but there’s no way I’d drop him. I honestly think the team would miss him if he wasn’t playing and our performances would deteriorate.

    Hard work in training is the answer.

    Yeah, youre probably right. Thought he was good in hes first games and dropped a bit in this last few games.

    Shame with Trippier really, as hes crossing would be a perfect match with Wood.
