Change up front ?

Sun Sep 16, 2012 7:49 pm

The last two games 5 goals (4 direct from set pieces),none from our 2 up front.Do we need a change in personel ie;maynard/mason,maynard/bellamy.helgarson/velonijker,or let our current two carry on! Im all for keeping the 4-4-2 but maybe a little tinkering,Whats your thoughts ?

Not at the moment!

I feel it has the right balance to it as it is with helguson battling and winning balls and being an aerial threat and Maynard pulling defences all over the shop.......Once they really click them pair will get goals :ayatollah:

I'd start mason against millwall and give helgarson a rest on the bench. Think maynard and mason will work really well together

agreed, theyve played less than 180 mins together.

If it's the same after another two matches I'd say change it but right now Maynard's not 100% match fit and as said above it's bn less than 3 hours spent together on the pitch.

They will improve.

Both too small and weak. Maynard said he likes working off a big man.

At least I think I heard him say "Working" :?

As long as we are scoring then it's no problem.

Maynard has been unlucky and helguson should have had a couple but it will come.

Agreed. He was my number one strike target after Jay Rodriguez went to Southampton.

I can't see Burnley wanting to let him go thought. They don't need the money and have just lost one star striker last window, can't see them wanting to lose another next one.
