Looks like Riis will be fit to play against Stoke

 

We need him big time.

 

I would reward Armstrong with a start v Stoke ahead of Riis

 

Definitely, he led the line well and occupied 2 defenders......equally well as Riis, albeit in only 1 game.
He's earned and deserves to start at Stoke........what did Armstrong do to be dropped ?

 

Struber may surprise us all and play both upfront, 4-4-2,

 

would love that

You may well be right, but would Struber upset the shape that they're all familiar with. We're in the top 4.
Not so sure.
If we're chasing the game 2nd half at Stoke then Struber might play something as you suggest

 

Play them both Stoke likely think we are playing just 1 SA to me seems to feature out a bit wider RIIS central number 9

 

Personally can’t see him playing them both together. Not while they are really the only two striker option he has. One will start the other will replace him. In my view The only question is who starts. Neither would surprise me, I think it may well reflect just how fit Riis is, he may want to protect him and bring him on at the end, if fully fit Riis will start imo

 

I'd definitely start Armstrong.
It won't do Riis any harm to know, for the first time, that maybe he has competition.
Riis may have been nursing an injury but he hasn't quite looked the player he was earlier on.

 

I think he has to now the penny seems to have dropped with him
