Who would you start up Front?

[Iffy's Onion Bhaji]

Ime sorry...wouldnt have Tope in my team full stop...done nothing for me...not trying to wind people up here but feel Hutchinsons done ok....nothing special but no worse than the others.

But Tope hasn't really played many mins as a striker has he? Let's be honest we've tried Hutchinson who looks poor, we've tried Revell who's looked pretty good but can't play with Billy, we all know Billy isn't a scorer and Peacock is just coming back from injury and isn't really too great upfront either. So that leaves Tope or Charlie Austin with Austin being a rookie at this level.

Know what your saying but Tope cannot control and hold up the ball...bring in other players etc like strikers have to...his qualities are pace and the suprise factor.....For me Hutchinsons goal at Brentford was a great finish after a quality run,dont go along with this lazy image said on here by others...Wilson wouldnt have a lazy player in the team...JPM has learnt that and hes a new player this year.....to be honest i like Paynter in the team.

[DV]

Tope job upfront wouldnt be close control and holding up the ball. We have Revell/Paynter/Peacock to do that.

We need Tope playing on the last man ready to burst through at pace.

Austin and Revell up front

[Moose]

Paynter and Tope. Paynter is our best striker, so he has to start. The best I've seen Tope play was at Walsall, when he was up top, so give him another go I say. And I was a big Hutchinson supporter, but he's quickly obtaining mucho shit status in my book.

[Only Me]

Revell & Tope with Painter as sub.  I am not sure if it is too early for Austin yet.

[RedRag]

The very question highlights the lack of any convincing combo.

Rev and Billy are too similar, Hutch is a waste of space, Tope is enigmatic (striker or wide attacker?) and we won't unlock that enigma before he returns to Bolton, Charlie is too young

I'd almost like that fat b*****d Trundle up front

Billy and Rev are ok but why both of them?

[Don Rogers Shop]

Worryingly i wouldn't rally want any of these options up front at a push i would play a on form paynter which don't look likely with wilson crushing his confidence.

Lets go for calvin zola in january

[Langers]

Meh. Fuck It. Lets play Phil Smith up front. Its gotta be worth a go.

To be fair DRS he was pants at Exeter and Walsall and we havnt seen the best of him this season...i keep saying hes our best striker when fit and in form,for me it shows how loan players can fuck the club up in some areas....though Ferry has been a good loanee.
Never been a fan of the loan system...managers feel under pressure to play them,Tope,Revell and Hutch havnt really worked(Brentford aside)

Ralphy and Leggett - they've got a proven track record as strikers

Boom boom!

(Not bad actually)

[Crozzer]

Paynter and Austin, with Peacock sub., fact.

[RedRag]

We're really missing a finisher, so reluctantly it would be worth trying Austin and like Crozzer I'd go for Paynter and Austin, especially in the FAC1 and Johnstone's coming up.


The question who would you tart with isn't the same as who would you play. 

I think some of the pacey players can do damage later on in a game when it tends to open up due to tiredness and competitive momentum and that's when I'd play Tope.

In passing its a shame our own Lloyd Macklin isn't in the picture for that sub's role as he was showing signs that a goal might give him the confidence to add substance to his potential

Anyone know when he is due back?

[juddie]

Paynter and Austin/Tope.
