    My thoughts also Bamford should have been on at start of 2nd half giving him 45 mins and so should other subs

    Hindsight is a wonderful thing. Every coach would love to be able to use it

    I guess this Hindsight guy would be too expensive for us to sign if every coach is after him :emoticon-0102-bigsm

    I realise what your saying it's true , but when you have a player of Bamford experience and goal scoring record which was 1 goal every 2.5 games sat on the bench and needing a win its obvious he should be on for the whole 2nd half.

    Exactly that's why they say a top class striker should be 1 goal in 2 matches so if you have 2 forward strikers as in a 4-4-2 the other striker if he scores 1 goal in 2 games then you should get a goal each game from 1 of the 2 strikers.

    So based on that theory, if we field four strikers at the same time we should be guaranteed two goals per game <ok> Maybe we need to just field a team of strikers

    I think Steve McLaren was known to try that strategy. Never seemed to work. No idea why.

    But your suggestion is patently ridiculous Eire. We are conceding at 2 goals per game so we need 3 goals per game to win. By that reckoning we need 6 world class strikers on the pitch. A 226 formation should do the trick. But an entire team of strikers? That’s just crazy.

    2 banks of 5 rotating creating the Marschtric line of attack and deefense.

    Don't we usually try to play 2-2-6? Only we seem to deviate to 1-0-9 on a regular basis (resulting in losing yet another goal). <whistle><doh>
