Siggijonsson Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 Wednesday's many strikers can potentially be split into the following pairs: 1. Rhodes and Foresteriori 2. Nuihu and Joao 3. Hooper and Fletcher 4. Winnall and Hirst If Lohukay continues with 2 strikers next season who should be the favoured front pair, who should be the reserve pair and which pairs should leave (if we can get them out). It's ridiculous to have so many expensive strikers as reserves - especially with FFS. it's likely pair 4 (Winnall and Hirst) will go anyway. The remaining decisions are really difficult. Personally I think; pair 1 (Foresteriori and Rhodes) is the best and should be first choice next season pair 2 (Nuihu and Joao) would be the best reserve pair But that means getting rid of pair 3 (Fletcher and Hooper - if that's even possible) who when fit can be good in this division.

eckington owl Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 (edited) Forestieri and Hooper should be the first names on the team sheet. Nuhiu and Joao as back up. Winnall will engineer a move to Derby, Hirst is a gonner, Fletcher will be injured until his contract expires. Rhodes will be sold to balance the books.

Sham67 Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 We'll not play with a pair next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s6 owl Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 (edited) Its all about finding the best partnership it’s not necessarily just about putting the best two strikers up front. For me Hooper and FF are our two best strikers but as partnership I don’t rate it as our best. Edited April 22, 2018 by s6 owl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rentaghost Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 How have you come to the conclusion ff and Rhodes is our best strike partnership ? Surely any strikers job is to score goals, hooper and fletchers partnership has created goals, joao and nuhiu has recently created goals, ff creates goals because he is just a good player who can create them, rhodes for me has done nothing to even warrant a place in the match day squad never mind selling hooper (who for me is our most important players when fit). I’d somehow go with any of hooper, Joao and nuhiu, and try to get ff in the team with them, probably on the wing, which I still thinks been his most effective position for us. And let rhodes go out on loan to chesterfield next season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cognacbarnowl Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 For me it would be FF and Atdhe . They love playing together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonny Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 Think I’d keep Hooper over Rhodes, Joao and Nuhiu I think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dot Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 FF and Hooper Winall wont be fit again till 2019 so not an option Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arithmetic Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 Do you really think it's a good idea to drop to having 4 strikers on the books taken from our current selection, when not a single one of them has been both productive and available for 40+ games in a season, either ever or in years? We'd be seeing a lot more of the 5-5-0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrickyTrev Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 Hooper and Fletcher with Forestieri in the hole just behind them. Joao and Nuhiu as reserve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great rid of Hooper? Do you actually support us? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bouncing Owl Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 Like us to go with a front 3. FF left, Hooper through the middle and a pace option on the right. If it’s a front 2 in a 3-5-2, surely it has to be FF and Hooper. Joao has to be 3rd on the list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stupidity .... hooper is a crock but I’d still keep him . Joao and adthe are our best strike force , ff somewhere behind . Fletcher can do one Edited April 22, 2018 by james o connor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this is pretty spot on in an ideal world - though I do worry FF may be old if some big bids come in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torres Posted April 22, 2018 Share Posted April 22, 2018 If the last 2 games are JL’s preferred formation - then I’d get Hooper on the transfer list now Can’t play that central on his own role and doesn’t work hard enough for the other roles.
