    Has individual merits as a player undoubtedly bit does he fit into the team? I don't really see that he does personally. Forces Winnall too deep, has no physical presence and we don't play balls through to optimise his pace.

    Me neither. Bradshaw needs to start with Winnall

    Winnall chooses to come deep its nothing new he did it all last season.

    Armstrong is a class above we need to play to his strengths.

    Like Diego Leon was.

    He hasn't got what we need. Graft and determination required in addition to undoubted talent.

    Armstrong works as hard as anyone.

    Armstrong only seems to score really good goals, I don't see him scoring the goals that Winnall does. I had a feeling before the game that Armstrong would score with it being on telly but he never got a sniff. I'm not sure how you can drop Winnall after he scored and played well in my opinion.

    Armstrong seems to be more interested in playing for himself rather than the team. Not. Harsh criticism a lot of young players are the same. At the minute we we need team players. WinnAll played for the team tonight and did it well I thought.

    To play to Armstrong's strengths we would need to completely change the way we play. It could be a gamble worth taking I'm not sure he's offered enough to suggest it is. A scorer of good goals rather than a good goalscorer the diametric opposite of Winnall.

    And in the darkened underpass, has Bradder's chance come at last?
    (but then a strange fear gripped me and I
    Just couldn't ask)

    If we don't extend his loan in January it won't be a big miss based on what he's done for us so far. I expect we to be currently looking to see if any better options are going to be available to bring in when he goes back in the new year.

    I'd rather Watkins and Winnall up top, if Watkins hadn't gone and got himself suspended of course.
