    Keogh is a better footballer than Becchio, agree we should try to get him back mate :)

    I like Becchios attitude, workrate etc, but i agree with Celticyorkie, i think he's still struggling and i would have said he is our best striker, but this season, its obviously McCormack because he's got the goals to back it up, but like someone said when Snoddy comes back and we have him with Townsend supplying him who knows he may get back to his best
    Also liked Mac and Keogh together but you can't have it both ways eh.

    The final chance that fell on the head of McCormack, I can't help feeling Becchio would have scored that.

    And McCormack would have scored Becchio's chance, but hey ho that's football. Think Forssell looked a lot less useless than usual, looked like a player we could actually use.

    Not all about scoring goals. Unlucky not to bag more although certainly an area that needs to be improved.
    Team was alot better playing a 4-4-2 with Keogh and McCormack

    Until McCormack went 5 games without scoring making Keogh as good as useless...

    Was it not about 3 games? Plus he is always subbed when he has a habit of scoring late on. Who would you play upfront and why?

    Depending on the game I'd either play Becchio on his own with Rosco coming on if needed or start with Becchio and McCormack up front, although I'd actually still like to see how we did in a 4-2-3-1 with McCormack in Howson's role.

    bECCHIO is too one footed to work on a 4-5-1 formation

    He managed it perfectly well last season. The problem is it worked so well last season because he has both Snoddy and Gradel playing off him, hopefully Townsend can fill Gradel's role and we can get the best out of Becchio again.

    may as well go ross and forsell up front on saturday, forsell showed some good touches, hes a big lad so won a few headers, and unlike becchio, he can actually shoot.
