Going to be difficult though to find 3 good strikers.
I do think FL will play it relatively safe and may keep Simms.
We're not going to get any great offers for him in, are we.
Going to be difficult though to find 3 good strikers.We can afford to imo yes. Good strikers aren't 10 a penny, hence we don't have any
In seriousness Wright is good but he's off it way too much and if he's the major sacrifice for Lampards war chest then I'm ok with it.
Yeah and I meant replacing our strikers with better ones. That what I meant by they are not ten a penny.We can afford to imo yes. Good strikers aren't 10 a penny, hence we don't have any

The one change for me would be Simms for BTA.Same again for me. I actually think we’ll turn them over fairly easily up there.
If as I expect he starts with two wide men and an isolated striker on Tuesday, we've no chance.
You cant drop our top scorer for a must win game
Listening to his press conference I think he will.
We'll debate personel ad nauseum between now and Tuesday but in reality the most important factor will be the game plan.
We had 76% possesion last night, teams are allowing us to have the ball, I've been saying it for weeks.
I'm sure Frank has been part of teams that have had to overcome a first leg deficit against a team parking g the bus, he needs to draw on that experience
Yeah, was furious with his performance last night but on reflection he still has to play.
He might not turn up again, but there's no guarantee any of our other strikers will.
I do wonder if he'll start him down the middle with EMC out left
Why not? It’s the same system we used during the run that’s taken us into the playoffs.If as I expect he starts with two wide men and an isolated striker on Tuesday, we've no chance.
At this point I think that Simms and BTA will leave - I reckon if someone offers £12-15m for Wright we’d cash in as well. We need more quality throughout the side to be more dynamic, IMO.I think I'm ok with this now. Get a decent fee and see who else we can get in.
As i said in the match thread, I reckon a few of our strikers go in the summer.
It's been ineffective away from home, especially recently.Why not? It’s the same system we used during the run that’s taken us into the playoffs.

I was actually thinking after the Boro cameo , that the coaches had worked their magic with BTA. Very sadly things haven’t changed & the player of reportedly £3 mill , is a very expensive bench warmer at best .
Let’s hope we can off load for some of that out lay ?
Exactly that.No pressure on us now. We are expected to lose. They’ll have 40,000 piling pressure on them to get over the line. As long as we don’t concede an early goal, this is far from over

Cheesy coach.Put competent and hungry players who have a point to prove and a system that works. Problem is how to implement that by Tuesday? Wright is lazy, Simms lacks confidence, BTA lacks height and has limited ability, Sheaf dawdles and can’t get a shot on target to save his life. Also FL has no idea how to unlock a team playing a low block. He always plays a high line and has no plan B. Regis Le Brie has done his homework and they’re halfway there.
Exactly that.
There will be an expectancy from them and no expectancy from ourselves.
And we did only lose to a terrible backpass. We have to remember that.
I fancy our chances still.
So it's not just us that Wright has showed the same attitude -- check this out an interesting read.

If it’s remotely feasible I’d like to do a player exchange with Norwich of Wright and Simms for Sargent and Sainz. I might throw in stepover king EMC or BTA to sweeten the deal.I would keep Bassette to be honest. Send him out on loan to a L1 side and see how he gets on.
I really like Wright, but he can't carrying being this inconsistent. It's damaging to the team and if Simms is hardly scoring at all, he is a burden to us as well.
Can we afford to lose all 3 though, all at the same time? BTA, Simms AND Wright.
Good strikers are not ten a penny.
It's a dilemma.
I think Wright will have a good game on Tuesday though, you just wait and see. Same goes for Simms, if he's picked
Why is it his turn to turn up on Tuesday he hasn’t done it for the last 10 what makes you think he will this time.
That's because we do not move the ball quickly enough, it takes us too long to go from side to side and by the time we do Wright or Saka are tightly marked.75% possession and he had 23 touches. Genuinely disgraceful.
Most managers don’t chop and change formations on a regular basis. Both Lampard and Robins have shown a knack for pulling out late results and deserve a bit of trust.We all know he will stick to 433 and barely change it
I love Lampard, hes worked wonders to get us here, but he doesn't half show some Robins hallmarks when it needs changing up
