    I don't want to join a pile on, but hot damn, he's been poor so far hasn't he?

    Genuinely like going down to 10 men When he comes on.

    It honestly looked like he hadn't played professional football before when he came on yesterday.

    He looked slightly better than his last performance (which says it all really) but still looks absolutely miles off the required standard.

    Lacks a lot of the basics needed to play as a CF in this league.

    We don't really have much choice but to stick with him now though if Still wants to persist with a big man up top? Which is a bit worrying.

    I’d rather play with Armstrong through the middle. If we’re doing that then 4 at the back and an extra attacking player. Something like

    McCarty
    Mads Edwards wood/squashy manning
    Jander Charles
    Fellows scienze Fraser
    Armstrong

    Please no. He's arguably our best attacker so why put him in a position where he's far less effective.

    Yep. We've already shot ourselves in one foot by needing to rely so much on a guy with a dreadful injury record. I'm not sure that the answer to that is to shoot ourselves in the other foot by moving our other main goalscorer into a far less effective position. That would seem to compound the problem to me!
