The Rouge is not happy but will reserve judgement as we may get a Prem player on loan (who doesn't get into the 25). If not - grrrr

Thanks - searching Rasiak on here didn't reveal anything.

Well I did not know that so yeah, lulz at the striking options.

Nine games in and our curent forwards have 1 goal between them - a penalty.

With the loss of Howard you cannot really see anyone else in the role behind the striker, much less any of our central midfielders getting forward, so no goals there.
Not usually my cup of tea but a direct 4-4-2 with the pacy Antonio given a go up front might cause a few problems for the opposition.

Robson-Kanu, Antonio, Taylor even Muffin or Kebe could work in that role. OK some are more experienced than others but I reckon all would do a better job there than the Duck.

There for me is the crux of the matter, we lose Sigs and make damn sure we dont get anyone who cn play his role in, and we now seem to be in the position of trying different players in the "off the front man" position till maybe one of them can manage to do it. A strong squad, my ass ! wake up Mr Mad.

Personally I'd move Kebe over to the centre and drop Hunt in to play behind or alongside him, Antonio would take up wing duties. Failing that I'd do the same but with Muffin. Kebe's pace against central defenders could be something well worth the effort (although not being tied to the wing may confuse him by offering several directions to go in when he has the ball.....)

Pardon my ignorance - but which player are you calling "Muffin" I'm sure it's an hiLOLarious nick name - but I can't work it out. :|

I can't believe people are suggesting we should play Kebe down the middle and put him up against some big hairy arsed Championship defenders.

His strength is getting on the ball and running at players. You just don't do that playing upfront or even in the hole. Leave him where he is and where he's proved to be a threat this season and don't punish him for our inability to replace Sigurdsson.

I think it's safe to assume that we won't see Jobi/Kebe playing anywhere other than the wing. They are our strongest assets.

I'd question even whether Howard is suitable to play in the hole

Wonder how Matejovsky is getting on back home?

Probably not that well. My daughter recently spoke to someone who had worked with him in the past who reckoned his knees were messed up and that he really should be thinking of quiting.

The decision to sell Matejovsky was always flawed.
