Yes. And Diomande has already over taken him in league goals. Dio looks like he is starting to settle in and getting a goal on your first start is the sort of thing that gets players firing.

Akpom did look good, but I fear starting him would make him lazy again.

Knowing Brucey he'll pick Diomande and Akpom and leave Abel on the bench!

Snodgrass Livermore Meyler Aluko
Abel Diomande

Aluko over Maloney - I don't see Maloney tracking back when he needs to and Clucas needs a rest. Akpom a second half sub. even when Dawson and Diame are fit I would leave them out until the play offs. (Even then I'm not sure I'd pick Diame)
 
No Elmo. Give Clucas a rest, and take him out of the rather unfair firing line he's been in and for **** sake, drop Junior for Maguire
Can't see him dropping Bruce jr after one match, despite it being the right thing to do. Agree abut the comments re. Clucas, totally out of order, feel sorry for the lad. I think a lot of it is to do with him missing those chances a few weeks back but the thing is he was there to take them on, despite not being played as a striker. Very unfair and now he's losing form and confidence. There are players in the team/squad that are not stepping up and Clucas isn't one of them
 
He probably gets slagged off not because of his general play which is okay but because of his glaring misses, his should be on at least double his present goals tally.
let him have a couple of weeks off and give Maloney a go.

Thing is Steve he gets those chances and he isn't playing the strikers role, so is it him thats not stepping up or the lads up front
 
Clueless had a rest in the last game, end product was zero! The fact Elmo started must do wonders for confidence amongst the rest of the squad given his performances, or lack of, this season. I agree no Junior, Elmo or Clueless
Your constant "clueless" nickname for one of the players who puts the most effort in and has actually scored and created a few goals this season is ridiculous.

It's not that it's ridiculous it's just pathetic and lame. I don't think Clucas is anything special but 'Clueless' is the sort of insult you'd here from 12 year old on Facebook.
 
If your not much cop you get flak, simples! Personally would say he's had a handful of very good games, generally earlier in the season was better, but has tailed off badly over recent weeks. At c£1.3m he represents ok business as I suspect if we were looking to sell, we'd get our money back.

6 goals
8 assists (the fourth highest in the league)
