Please. I don't think we've seen that combo yet and I still think it would be the best pairing. Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk
Saw it a few times at the start of the season and it didn't really work. Payne had broken in front of Bradshaw in the pecking order after Bradshaw and Watkins struggled to make an impact together against Hudds. Bradshaw looks a better player though now so its worth a go. Although Armstrong looked good against Rotherham so deserves another run. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I'd be happy with Armstrong up there with Watkins either. You could see how frustrated Watkins was to be brought off so we could go to 2 up front. If I remember rightly early in the season we only saw a combo of both Watkins and Bradshaw when one was coming off the bench? Winnall pretty much started every game if I remember right. Would be good to see them get a run together, that's how the combination of Watkins and Winnall thrived. Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk
Armstrong has pace strength and can do something special, I think he can go on a goal scoring run and I would give him a start with watkins. Bradshaw and watkins is a bit too predictable I think. It's Armstrong and Marley have never been paired up but it could really work. Bradshaw is not a bad sub and it will be good to see hedges who does sound like Marleys summer replacement.
Winnall got injured early against Ipswich first day we played Bradshaw and Marley upfront a few times. They definitely played upfront together for the majority of the Ipswich game and then also against QPR, Derby and Huddersfield. Bradshaw was really struggling to make an impact at the time.

Stick with Armstrong and Bradshaw for me. Did excellent against Leeds Sent from my Kestrel using Tapatalk
Yeah, stick with them I reckon, longer there is a settled 2 up top the better for everyone. I expect a few more disjointed performances while the midfield gels.
My main gripe with Bradshaw and Armstrong together is that, unless we get a spell of possession where we can play that attacking brand of football we like, then we struggle to make good use of them. We can't keep that up for 90 minutes and in some games we're lucky to get a couple of 15 minute spells of it. So the service they generally get is from long balls, which they just don't have the presence to hold onto more often than not. By the 60th minute, the opposition has generally got them figured out. I just think Watkins offers more of a presence and strength which the other two don't. He's a different dimension who may prevent the ball from coming back to us time and again. I feel that now Conor has departed and with Mowatt missing a few games and probably needing a few additional weeks to get into the swing, we're going to have more instances of the ball bypassing midfield. I think Matty James is a more defensive minded player (purely based on the fact that he's previously been deployed as a centre half), which again for me doesn't fill me with the confidence that the front 2 are going to get the service to feet which they need. My opinion obviously Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk
I'd go with that too. Watkins now our main assist/goals player and Bradshaw who's had a much better eye for goal that Armstrong.
One things for sure I ain't leaving the house til the team has been published at 2, and if he plays one up front again, it's feet up in front of telly.
What if Bradshaw and Watkins are named as starters but then Watkins is played out wide? Would you go home after the first couple of minutes?
Ah got me there, would depend on rest of lineup, if Hamill and Kent were playing then i would assume Watkins to be up front.
Come on, if I can manage it all the way from Harrogate, you can manage to get from Dodworth! See you there (maybe)
