So who would YOU play up front in his place ? I was baffled yesterday that we took him off when we were needing a goal, and he'd already scored, and replaced him with Curtis Miller who simply doesn't have the requisite experience.
I notice Chris Porter is warming the bench at Crewe. I know he's 36, but he's scored 157 career goals, including 12 in 26 league appearances in last season's promotion campaign. He could be just what we need.
Honestly, after 4 games, anyone.
We could try and stretch the game with Cisse uptop (Parky said he could play there, hence no need for a 3rd striker), we could play Hancock up there with a ballplayer Kosoylo or Mooney behind him; or a runner like Williams. Senior could easily play on one of our wing-backs.
If it's about making it stick; I'd rather have Toby up top than watch Tom "Pleased to be in the dressing room" Peers amble about.
Tom is getting cricistim - before anyone starts - as his job is to score/create goals. He's not done that in 5.
Prior to today, we'd kept a clean sheet at home, and one 1 away to Eastleigh (Notts Count was a blip) otherwise we'd be criticising defenders too.
