No idea why people compare players when they do different roles. Moylan moves about more for sure and has abilities salech don't so vice versa. It like saying salech can out jump moylan in the box. We compare anything these days when they are world's apart in what that player can do compared to others playing the same sort of role

It's more a case of comparing our playing styles as opposed to comparing individual players, although yes it involves Salech and Moylan
I guess I should have said do we persist with a false 9 as we have in the last couple of games or do we revert to a more conventional centre forward like Salech when he's fit.
I think it's just a case of finding the most effective and productive system with the players we have at our disposal.

Yeah true for me moylan over salech but with balls in the box there's more chance of salech being there if or the header as where moylan has more agility and work rate who drops in the pockets. What will BBM will do our next game if he's got fit and he's ready again. It don't look good for Robinson now mind you as we are playing a more or else left midfielder & central attacking midfielder up top over him but let's be honest he's on his way out once his contract is up for sure. Then there's R colwill once he's back where does he fit in then. Decisions for BBM to make.
BBM wants the older ones on big coin gone and get his own stamp on things which is a good thing in my opinion.

I think all our players were not fit enough at the start of the season. Its a small sqaud and i don't think BBM does the summer work that previous regimes did.
Salech was showing signs of returning to some form before his recent injury. I think he still draws centre-halves close, giving Jack more space. So when Salech is fit, he plays, and Jack is the 10.
I have always thought Rubin is a unique talent, so he looks a 10, but i think he needs to sit deeper and dictate play, so i would play him in a double pivot rather than the very attacking 4141 BBM is currently employing.

Well when he plays we revert to a one man up top formation so hes fighting 2 or 3 defenders! When not playing we got one uptop Harris ect with moylan just behind him that works better because moylan is far more clever than Salech and creats more opportunities for others but thats kind of player he is.... Salech is just a target man who generally doesn't get the backup he needs or the service for that matter... whilst he can score goals he cannot do it regularly way we play! For whatever reason bbm does not play two uptop with him in side yet he does when hes out of side ... question is why?
