Is he our first choice striker? I would have thought that is Austin....until Hughes sees evidence to suggest otherwise. I think he gives us an option, so we can rest Charlie and perhaps reduce the chance of him being injured. I see Ings and Austin as our interchangeable tattooed forwards...with Gabbi able to play with either of them. Long provides something different depending on opponents and how the game is going (if he doesn't start).
This is where you tell me that Ings is a different type of player....I admit ignorance in this area.
