I like Sam, he keeps on battling and think if he had another striker alongside him he would be so much better.

100% agree with that and as I said yesterday its not jet who needs to be along side

Jet as many of us have said needs to sit behind two strikers,until this happens people are going to keep debating his best position.

SC should play Barnet and Baldock up top,let them play closer together,Jet to orchastrate sitting behind them.
Go on SC give it a go.<ok>

And who would you drop from the midfield then? You need a strong midfielder covering the defence which is at the moment out of Gillett and Elliott. As Wagstaff and Cunningham play wing backs, you would not be able to drop either of them.
Pack or Reid. JET won't defend or drop back so you can't really drop Pack so to play your way to keep the shape you would be dropping Reid.
 
'You need a strong midfielder covering the defence which is at the moment out of Gillett and Elliott'

You'd have to choose the man mountain - Gillett <laugh>

I would go with that,prefer Elliott in there over Reid at this present time and in the predicament we are in.
 
Sorry Guys, SC and you will get there in the end.

It will be Marv, Pack (plus Kelly to come back) and Reid but definitely not bloody Gillett.
