Any thoughts as a temporary striker by all accounts good in the air |  | | |  |

Is that the primary criteria for our central striker?

Funnily enough I was discussing this at half time on Saturday, like you say good in the air, good with the ball at his feet. Seemed a better option than Judge. Though we then came out in the second half and won so maybe, just maybe Lambert is better placed to make these kind of decisions than I am! |  | | |

It surprises me how seldom managers consider moving certain defenders forward in a crisis when they're perfectly happy to play strikers and central midfielders on the wing, more natural wingers further back and many a full back in the centre. I agree in principle with what Herbie said in an earlier thread re square pegs in round holes, but when needs must why not pitch a ball-playing defender further forward as a hold-up player. Bam Bam did it, Hawkins reportedly can do it - even Micky Stockwell bagged a brace while deployed there.
Meanwhile, whatever possessed anybody to think that Judge, notorious for chasing the ball all over the pitch, would stay put as a fulcrum for the front line? - false nine must mean something, but surely some of the potential for the "nine" bit should be in evidence? | |

If Hawkins isn't available then why not move Chambers to lead the attack, I think he's quite enjoy himself!
That would mean either Donacian or McGuiness would fill in at RB. |  | | |

To be fair he has made one first team start in his entire career, in the U23s against us in the cup.
I'd be wary of playing a19yr old on-loan defender upfront on his own in his first ever league match in his life!
If he's played the full 90 and we're chasing a goal in injury time then throw him up top to win the flick-on, but other than that seems almost unfair on him. |  |

That wasn't a first team fixture for him, was it?
So the young lad has never played a first team fixture at any level for anyone. |  |
