unique 435 Posted March 5, 2016 All other avenues seem to have been tried and failed, it would appear that Bamford has to be our final roll of the dice....... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kick it off 1,952 Posted March 5, 2016 Thought he looked lively today. Unlucky not to score and caused Swansea all manner of problems. Gets my vote. It can''t get much worse! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BroadstairsR 2,169 Posted March 5, 2016 As there gets less and less to lose in the season, rather than in the game it''s self, I''d play two up front.Bamford and either of the other two. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yellow Green Army 237 Posted March 5, 2016 Agree. Has to start now otherwise why did we bother signing him in the first place.Would like to see Bamford and Mbokani given a run of games together to see what they can do.We need to go two up top to give ourselves at least a chance of scoring and winning a game of football.Hoolahan to play beind those two with jarvis and Redmond the wide players.Jerome has had his chances now and unfortunately it just has not worked and is not going to work. Not impressed with Naismith, does not look fit to me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jimmy Bone - Superstar 2 Posted March 5, 2016 Yes - but Alex says that he can''t hold the ball up to bring others in to the game - so he won''t start Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KoromaCrab 0 Posted March 5, 2016 Bamford AND Lafferty Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KoromaCrab 0 Posted March 5, 2016 actually, Bamford and Jerome/Mbokani to start with Lafferty to come on around 70 minutes Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Clever Farke 64 Posted March 5, 2016 Bamford is the only striker we have who has that bit of quality. He links well with Hoolahan and redmond, in the little cameos we are allowed to see. Hoolahan behind Bamford is the way to go. He gives defenders a lot to think about with his movement. Brilliant movement to get in behind them on the left and his turn in the box was sublime, with a bit more game time he might have buried that. Otherwise we are so painfully predictable. He simply has to start for the rest of the season! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
STAN 29 Posted March 5, 2016 Neil told us he''s a 10 million pound forward.. yet he can''t get a start ahead of Jerome.. How much is Jerome worth Alex? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ivan Easter 0 Posted March 5, 2016 Totally agree that Bamford should start, he should have started today. AN needs to get a grip because at the moment he seems well out of his depth in this League!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
daly 501 Posted March 5, 2016 Would like to see Jerome and Bamford from the start, but it won''t happen till the 80th minute if our manager goes to form.Probably start with Martin Klose BassongLuckily we only have 9 more games to change the team and the system we play by a manager and his lost assistant who have not got a clue what to do to put things right.He comes across as a genuine man but is completely out of his depth.Also have no idea why he brought the Pie Man with him or why we spent a million on Andreau Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hoolahan also doesn''t score/shoot enough to play in that position either in my opinion and you have to ask yourself do we have a 20 a goal a season forward that hoolahan can set up? I''d say the answers no. Bamford played pretty much off vossen last season with him winning the ariel battles. He thrives off balls in the box and predominately sits on the shoulder. We have to do the same and I think if we went with 5 at the back and used the wings to play the ball across we have mbokani who is use along side, or even jerome to aim at and bamford to play off his shoulder. Speaking to palace fans they seem to think he''s a bit lightweight which isn''t too unfair looking at his build but palace tactics also demand a hard working front man for the 4411/4231 formation that they play and that''s why it didn''t work out for them.
