    Sorry for the poor play on words for the title......

    But again we only have one fit striker against Wigan...

    My view is start with Ryan Noble! I know the lad is mint in the reserves and its a big step up, but we must do something out the norm.

    We never know, Ryan Noble might be a new Rooney. You have to through them in the deep end to find out how good they are!

    PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE BRUCE PLAY NOBLE UPFRONT WITH GYAN!!!

    Do you think Bruce read that ha!

    But seriously, what do you all think?

    The truth is I have no idea, none at all. Gyan and Richardson looked good, Noble will be enthusiastic and could spark.

    I do know this is a big, big game.
    I do know that we must win.
    I do know that the players should know we must win.
    I do know that Bruce will have spent all week with them.
    I do know that Bruce is an experienced footballer and football manager.
    I do know that the club have excellent facilities.
    I do know that we have highly paid coaches, dieticians, fitness coaches.

    With all of that I do know Bruce should have no excuse for selecting the wrong team or formation so I have to trust him, no other option.

    We will so know if Bruce knows.

    He might be one for the future & not knocking him but i believe now is the time for experience mostly so i wouldn't start with him.

    I would start by playing the players in the natural position first, put Sesegnon in the hole behind Gyan. I know he hasn't had the best o starts but let's see him in his natural position first before we judge him.

    Why do you guys NEED two strikers? Just stick Gyan up front and then put someone behind him. See how that goes. I'm sure it's an easier option right now.

    I think I'm with mitch on that. But Noble isn't a bad option - after all, what's the point of having a reserve team if we don't step them up when needed?
