The other thing is whether we can solve our problems up front. We're competitive in the middle of the park, esp. with Mitch and Rosaire pushing up, and the attacking situations we create are good - Shaun has been an astute addition in my view. But our conversion rate could be better, and lads like Adedoyin and Sisay aren't going to sharpen up their games sat on the bench.

Surely if they are on the bench, they should be able to play?

If not from the start, they should be able to last more than 5 minutes?!?!?!

Good job Harvey has hit some form, but that will not last....

Professor Coleman clearly likes ‘strikers’ such as Billy Kee (of blessed memory) and Bishop, who can be up front on their own but can hold up the ball under pressure, when it’s booted up to them, to give time for reinforcements to arrive.
Maybe the current situation is because he hasn’t had a striker for several months, so the existing strategy has been the only option and the players have begun to make it work, and Coley doesn’t feel the ones who are currently available could play the Kee/Bishop role?

I think you are correct Exile, but was not it great when we had Grant and Symes and Jackson and Kee scoring week after week???

Sisay and Kode would cause havoc - in my opinion.....
