Surely got to be worth a try playing together? 2 big lads, whip some crosses in, profit? Bradshaw looking way off pace
Forced a good stop from wildsmith 1st half from izzys cross. And 2nd half Izzy could have played him in one on one but picked the wrong ball apart from that wasn't great.
Your right apologies I forgot about that first half. I like the fact he works hard I think sometimes I'm too hard on Bradshaw. But he lacks pace he's no good in the air. And with our lack of quality I feel we need these basic attributes up front.
He held is run perfectly when we were on counter 2nd half if isgrove sees him on his right plays him in he was one on one. He was going mad after. I do agree with abit of what you say we haven't got much better up top on our books though.
I feel Bradshaw and Mcburnie will form a good partnership the more games they play together, unfortunately it’s probably too little too late
McBurnie and Bradshaw for me. McBurnie has premier league class by the looks of it and Bradshaw runs his knackers off the whole game.
Honestly, I'd want to see Mcburnie and Thiam together. I think they would complement each other perfectly. I really like Bradshaw, but I think Thiams threat matched with Mcburnie's ability to put them away would trouble defences a lot more. I don' think Thiam will get a look in now though, which is a shame. He was just starting to come good and i think he could be a really good player for us.
Championship football is more than running around a lot, the persistence in playing Bradshaw will take us down and I am getting so frustrated seeing this each week and watching us struggle when the answer is so obvious. Drop Bradshaw not only out of the team but out of the squad and let Victor and Thiam support mcburnie and Moore.
I get what you’re saying regarding the running around a lot but Bradshaw has 11 goals this season basically feeding off scraps whilst upfront on his own. McBurnie upfront with Tom and I reckon he'll start scoring again, could’ve scored today if not for Wildsmith’s cracking save.
I hope I'm wrong and he comes good but I've watched him and I'm not seeing any kind of threat, today I saw 2 weak headers 1 weak shot and the volley which was well saved I saw lots of endeavour but one good volley that didn't go in isn't enough and today he was better than normal. Sorry for me it's too late now he hasn't been much of a threat for months now and we can't risk any more games as we are now in the bottom 3 and running out of time.
I get that, everybody has their own opinions after all. I think that it’ll generally be 1 big man,1 small up top so that’s McBurnie/Moore with Bradshaw or Thiam. I think there’s potential with Thiam but he’s never looked like scoring a goal for us, his last game he didn’t even want to run. I’ve not seen Adeboyejo enough to make any comment on him. I think if we go 5 in midfield then McBurnie is the number 1 striker now and has the game to play that role so Bradshaw will be on the bench then. In a 2 though I think he starts with McBurnie.
You are right and thats may be where knarrsmullner or moncur or mallan get a chance behind mcburnie and in front of Williams and Gardner. I would like to give Moore and mcburnie a go together in a 442 with mallan instead of gardner putting in some decent set pieces they could really rough up some defences instead of the big Un little Un combo.
