Gregory's strike partner

[Marro]

Got to be Saido for me if fit.  ML also must start.  Let’s field our strongest team and have no regrets.

I feel a bit sorry for Kamberi. He linked up well with Gregory earlier in the season but he’s struggled a bit particularly in front of goal as the season’s gone on. I don’t expect him to be here next season

but he may yet play his part in our push for promotion before he leaves?

I don’t think he’d leave his cushy job at Sky to come back to us in League One sadly.

He will if we promise no crosses.

[SwellOwl]

Start Berahino, Windass to come on for game time.

If Windass isn't fit enough to start I would go with Paterson. He makes some good runs that often go unnoticed, he is strong, has scored 6 goals and 3 assists. puts himself about. He would take players away from Gregory, creating spaces. He is a lot better than we give him credit for.

This. Sadly some people do not see this.

Paterson is a good player to have in the middle, generally making a nuisance of himself.

 

Berahino is brilliant on his day, just don't know which day.

 

Kamberi's movement and first touch is great, then he goes all 'cat on a hot tin roof' and usually messes it up.

 

Windass seemed very much off the pace on Tuesday, I think it's too soon, maybe second half only, get him ready for the playoffs, fingers crossed.

 

NML, not a striker.

 

If we can't have two Gregorys, which apparently we can't, then I'd go for Berahino - but 45 minutes max if he's left his shooting boots at home, then bring on Windass.

Kamberi’s first touch is usually appalling.

Gregory has proved a vital signing and we wouldn't be near the playoffs without him.

But we've never managed to find a reliable partner for him. Kamberi looked decent at first, then later Berahino had a spell but now fizzled out.

For me Pats just ain't good enough, he showed on Tuesday that he isn't a striker- he was astoundingly anonymous despite all the play we had.

Windass came on the last part of the game and looked ok- should be the answer but can he start on Saturday? If not, probably go with Saido and hope he has a day he's firing?

Kamberi looked decent……ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha !! Absolutely god awful player!

[Luke]

Berahino 

 

[Owlabroad2001]

As long as Kamberi is sat in the stands, I don’t care who starts with Gregory.

[Holmowl]

Gregory & Berahino to start.

Paterson if Saido not at it.

 

Windass looked terrible on Tuesday. Nowhere near ready.

[prowl]

Berahino is the best option to partner Gregory. He needs the proper supply to be effective. Give him the ball to feet when he's in or around the penalty spot and he will score goals.

 

He's good at turning and shooting, he can hold defenders off, it's just that the service hasn't been there.

[McRightSide]

Gregory just scored 3 goals playing upfront with Paterson

 

I think he sticks with that 

[Shetland Owl]

Berahino is more likely to score than Paterson so he would be my choice although he will need to work harder.

This is one area where we need to improve next season

Agreed, his second touch is usually a tackle!

 

I do like his movement and work rate though.

I wouldn't say he was terrible at all. Obviously he was a little rusty after months out but he needs game time now to get up to speed.

 

When he is fully fit, he is without doubt ahead of Kamberi, Berahino, Paterson, NML and Sow to partner Gregory.

Patterson brings the whole teams performance down to a level of football that I just don't enjoy. Stop start, nit picking, silly fouls and shouts at the ref for free kicks.

 

When we have a full house tomorrow, that's not the football I want to see us play.

 

Start with berahino, he will thrive in front of a big crowd, then Chuck windass on if we are winning to keep their backline stretched.

 

 

[Hootsman]

Agree with most on here. Start with Gregory and Berahino. Have Paterson and Windass on the bench if things need to change/Berahino is having an off-day. Unlike many on here, I actually like having Paterson available, think he gives us a different option with a bit more bite.
