It's clear Baka has not got what it takes for us and Biamou is a classic striker who given the chance will score becuase his movement is good where Baka's is zero. Now I'd say Max with Godden is the next try out. But O'Hare was very good second half in that 10 role. Allen must come in but we need a tough tackler next to Kelly like Walsh. So how do you fit Walsh, Kelly, O'Hare, Allen, Shipley and Westbrooke in the side? For me our best would be Allen, Kelly, Walsh and O'Hare with Walsh and kelly staying a little deeper. I think we will see a 4-4-2 from now on like this:

Morosi
Dabo Hyam Mcfaz McCallum
Allen Kelly Walsh O'Hare
Max Godden

Subs: Hiwula, Shipley, Mason, Wilson, Westbrooke, Rose, and Jodi Jones

Competition for places will get the best from them. TBF there are a number of player interchanges and formations we could do. If Jones comes back and plays anything like he can then it provides massive headaches for Robins.
Baka played really well second half, the Ipswich defence could not handle his hold up play - He really held the ball up well and created chances for others

Godden & Biamou will be up front now

Not so sure as Bako put in a real shift second half playing out wide - I'm hoping like everyone Godden is the answer to our goalscoring issues but I'm sitting on the fence as Godden at the moment seems a bit of a Connor Chaplin plenty of promise but no end product - I would not be very happy if I was Bako and dropped after putting such a good second-half performance in - Lets face it for some reason Bako gets all the stick but has played fewer minutes than Godden and Hiwula and scored the same amount of goals

The thing is about player ratings, a player can have an absolute stinker then score a goal and his rating improve, maybe our expectations are set too high, Ipswich probably have better strikers than us but only managed to score 1 goal as well, I have slated Baka on many occasions because at times he looks woeful but credit where its due he had a better game last Saturday but he is still not the answer

It's amazing how things can change with a new player formation or a plater swapping positions etc - Look at Feed Man Utd - Fans thought he was the worst signing Utd had ever made and laughed at the 55 million fee, today after a couple of decent games he is the new messiah - Sissoko at spurs was another player that springs to mind for two years could not get in the spurs team - they changed his position and he became a world-beater - Finally someone a bit around our level Eoin Doyle Swindon -Currently top goalscorer in all divisions, couldn't hit a barn door at Bradford so they loaned him to Swindon and he cannot stop scoring - Robins played Bako wide in the second half this could be a new position for him as it changed the game

Difference is that Chaplin was pretty much an unknown quantity - Godden has got league goals before. If he can start doing that for us it could be the last piece of this season's jigsaw.

Not sure if Bako was ever an out and out goalscorer and we may have played him out of position since he arrived - Watching him second half Saturday when he played out wide he looked a different player - Ipswich defenders in the first half had the easiest of the half-second half a completely different story they couldn't actually handle him confirmed by some Ipswich fans in the pub after the game

Bakayoko did play better second half Saturday second half but won’t make a centre forward and that’s his position as long as he has a hole in his arse and that’s what he’s suppose to be. I saw have a proper centre forward game at Barnsley last season bullied their two centre backs and thought great at last we have a proper centre forward sadly since that day zilch, simply not good enough.

It was more that we played to his strengths, he is best with the ball to his feet and then laying it off and making a run. He had players in front of him to do this with.

No amount of excuses can defend the fact he is not there yet and there's work to do on Baka. His positional play and getting into space is poor and his finishing lacks any conviction at the moment. Efforts get rewarded and his efforts have been weak if we are honest. Biamou got fed scraps first half but still found positions, still caused problems and won headers. Second half he grew into the game more as we played to his strenths and the one chance he got and read the move he scored. Big difference to Baka. Now can Godden prove an even bigger difference to Biamou? Truth is I see them as a front two. All will depend on how we set up to play. I think we have the fit enough players now to play a diamond but will that sacrifice to one up front? Big headaches for Robin's but he must know his best players and formation when all fit?
