Up Front

With Cahill now seemingly gone it leaves us with 3 strikers & Mcfadden. I would like to see us go with Senior & Little with O'Neill playing behind the front two. I think this would work well as Joe can hold the ball up well and get flick ons for Chris to run on to. The problem with just Joe and Colin up front is that when he wins a header Colin hasn't got the pace to get on to it. So problem solved, Joe holding it up or flicking on for Chris and Colin there to put the ball in the net. Sounds easy enough to me! I realise you can't play this at Aldershot or Grays due to suspension but in the other games its worth a try. especially Stafford. What do others think?

I guess this is with 3 in midfield and 4 at the back I suppose it would be worth a go, with Joe dropping off into midfield but this could mean he gets caught too deep meaning more poeple would get on his back for not being 'a striker'. Possibly better would be Joe and senior up front with colin in behind meaning Joe can flick on for Senior with Colin in behind supporting and crafting out openings.

Interesting distinction!
