Samwam27 519 Posted January 1, 2018 Firstly great win today. A win is a win and helps us away from relegation zone. Secondly, with Jerome and Olive doing little in the goal scoring dept this season, should we look to replace both, lower the wage bill and try fresh legs and approach up front.Both have done great for us, but could anyone say we''d miss them after this season, if (& it''s always a big if) we could secure someone (well two are needed) who knows where the back of the net is?

hogesar 9,615 Posted January 1, 2018 Oliviera was awful. Couldnt hold the ball up, couldnt dribble past players, couldnt win anything in the air and seems to have developed the touch of Marley Watkins. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Samwam27 519 Posted January 1, 2018 Maybe we could do buy one get one free. Sell Olive and throw in Marley for free.IK Jan has inflated prices, but Olive seems to be showing why he never settles or fulfills his full potential.Sell ON & CM and get close to £10m for both, lower the wage bill and get hotter and younger property from lower or foreign leagues.Neither have done much this season and now might be the time to cash in Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
yellowandgreen 34 Posted January 1, 2018 I''d sell them both if we can get good money and suitable replacements.I still think we need a proper old fashioned centre forward and a short quick bloke. When plan A goes wrong too often there has been no plan B. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Van wink 2,994 Posted January 1, 2018 I can see Jerome signing for the Stylistics Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Samwam27 519 Posted January 1, 2018 One could argue Olive looks so poor because he knows he''s only got Jerome as competition.Says just how thin we are on quality strikers (but we all said that at beginning of season!) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted January 1, 2018 Not sure why people are making excuses for Oliveira - he has been pretty dreadful as a lone striker. Today was absolutely pitiful, I felt embarrassed for the guy.We need a striker who is capable of operating on their own upfront. Jerome is more than adequate backup.

ron obvious 1,498 Posted January 1, 2018 I wonder if Fonkeu or Abrahams could step up? Could we bring Morris back? Would they be any worse than Nelson was today?Might be worth bringing them on for the last 10 mins. sometimes, just to see how they look at this level.

Van wink 2,994 Posted January 1, 2018 Nelson is wasting his talent, best he wastes it somewhere else imo. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ZLF 271 Posted January 1, 2018 Is Oliveira wasting his talent or is his purple patch over and he has reverted to his norm? Whichever it is today''s effort was pitiful, pinto and Murphy getting wide to find nelson still 15 yards outside the box, weak, uninvolved and disinterested. This nelson is not going to attract wolves Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
