    Tom Bradshaw with 8, closely followed by Marley Watkins on 7. Obviously discounting the 11 that Winnall got.

    Bradshaw hardly seems to have played this season yet he has scored 8. These two have got to start every match, fitness permitting, for the rest of the season. Armstrong can come on if one of them tires, and not before. Is that too obvious a solution? I don't think so....
     
    Googs and occook like this.

    Finally somebody on the same wave length as me! I thought Marley looked most dangerous upfront when played along side Winnall, they seemed to have a great partnership but since we have sold him to the scum, Marley only seems to have played upfront on himself or alongside Armstrong. I will go as far as saying I don't think Marley and Bradshaw have played upfront together??

    Maybe Hecky doesn't see them as an upfront partnership but I reckon we would all like to see them given a go this coming Saturday. If it works brilliant, if it fails on to the next plan.

    One thing is blindingly obvious to all of us I think - Armstrong and Bradshaw are not a viable partnership.

    I agree and I would play Bradshaw ahead of Armstrong every time

    thing is as well, Marley is gone at the end of the season but may as well still try for a play off push with Marley and Bradshaw upfront, What a disappointing end to a fantastic season.

    I agree about Armstrong and about his lack of a partnership with Tom as I said on another thread Bradshaw has started a lot more games than you'd think. 23 starts and 12 subs.

    Surprised he had played that many. I wonder how many full games he has played though? He always seems to be the one coming off if he has started the game

    Again it feels like that but I think it comes out as him playing 90 minutes less than Winnall and significantly more than Armstrong. I think it's because he seems to play one then miss one.

    Bradshaw needs to start miles more games. He's the only player who looks like he's going to score, alongside Watkins. Armstrong has undoubted talent and I'm sure will be playing Premier League football in years to come but he hasn't been playing well enough to start against Ipswich and should be Tom and Watkins up top.
