    We will have been on the training ground last 2 weeks working on a system that has no traditional striker.

    Stoke will have been on the training ground working on defending against Burstow.

    Good side, great options off the bench. Brilliant to see Ekwah back

    I thought Rusyn would be given the nod. He’s not a kid like the other strikers, he’s 24 and used to senior football.

    No. He’s talked about having to adapt to not having strikers. But never moaned about it. It’s us fans moaning about it.

    We have played some of our best football under him without a striker, and the strikers we have available to start at the moment (assuming they are easing Rusyn in), have frankly added very little.

    Id rather play Ba, Roberts and Pritchard than drop one of them to play Burstow or Hemir.

    Yeah but unless mayenda is decent the other two just simply aren't good enough tbh imo. How many goals have our strikers scored this season?

    Bet the strikers that are on the bench are feeling great about themselves.
