    Before he clears off too,we need someone upfront throwing his weight about like Martin of Fulham ,if we are not going to buy someone then Marley is the man for the job,it's where he wants to play,give him his chance

    Don't think Bradshaw can play as the lone striker

    Bradshaw was poor as a lone striker in the league below and is worse in this one. Armstrong I guess S your man for the lone striker role. Marley would always play as a forward in a 2 in my shiny little world.

    Bradshaw isn't a lone striker neither was winnall. Our best partnership was winnall and watkins. We haven't seen bradshaw and watkins but I agree watkins should be up top with either armstrong or bradshaw

    With Bradshaw a similar player to WinnLl I can see them working well together then use Armstrong as a lone striker when needed

    I agree. Marley can do a good job and run the channels when needed.

    I've been wanting Marley up front all season, him and Bradshaw played up top vs Derby. He's really good up front, and it will really improve Bradshaw. I felt sorry for hi yesterday just running around, it was boring watching most of the game yesterday!!! 442!!!!!

    Bradshaw had a lot of success playing in a 1 at Walsall. He can play the role but he needs to the ball to him not someone in the next field. He likes the ball to chest and then we can play off him.

    I can see why he went 1 up front yesterday, because last time V Fulham we got murdered in midfield. It worked pretty well until the ref's daft decision.

    That said, our passing, by all players, not just the centre backs was way off, far too many times, and Bradshaw couldn't do anything with some of the balls fed into him.

    I think Armstrong is better as a lone striker, but I'd still prefer us to go with Marley and Bradshaw. Kent needs to start contributing though, as for me he just isnt effective enough. I thought Williams did ok yesterday, but not sure where he fits in a 4-4-2. Going to be hard to get the right blend.

    Wallsall fans were very critical of him as a lone striker and thought he worked best with a partner.

    I don't think it was.

    Roberts had a shocker with the ball. Not sure why he thinks he's got the ability of John Stones at times and starts running with the ball only to give them ball away to a player 15 yards away. Did it against Blackburn, did it against Birmingham, did it at Bloomfield against Blackpool and did it yesterday against Fulham. STOP IT OR LEARN TO PASS THE BALL.

    Bree was okay yesterday. Good test for him against Piazon.

    To Jimmy Cricket. He played all last season with that. He was good at it but there centre backs can get the ball to him and Sawyer in a better way.

    I'm no Wallsall expert but have been told he was most effective egg effective when playing with Hiwilua

    I think he played wide a lot Jimmy Cricket. They played a patient passing game where they tried to feed off balls to Bradshaw's chest or into Sawyer and then be fed the ball in to the front 3.

    If we're not happy with Kent at RW then I'd be tempted to stick Williams out there he's got all the attributes to play there and it would be nice for him to get a run of starts, also frees up Watkins to go up front
