I would love for us to start with Moore and Al Hamadi both up front. With Hutchinson and Sarmiento ideally (with Harness, Taylor and Jackson on the bench).
Genuine question, is it possible to tweak the system we play to accommodate Moore and Al Hamadi both into the starting line up? Or would it just not work? For me, I would love it if McKenna started Al Hamadi, but he's obviously not going to do it at Moore's expense and nor should he, so is it feasible or just unworkable?
Discuss.

If we don't get promotion then would either of these be worth pursuing as useful additions to our squad? Both could be available on a free in the summer. Thoughts?
In the midnight hour, we cried Moore Moore Moore! With a rebel yell we cried Moore Moore Moore! In the midnight hour McK, Moore Moore Moore! With a rebel yell... Moore! Moore!Moore! Moore! Moore! Moore!
We are 19 points ahead of Millwall, have scored 36 goals to their 19, yet we have conceded more than them, 23 to their 22.
We probably do need a new striker to take some of the burden off Hirst, but is this really priority? Are we really sure that Wolfy and Burgess are quite as good as they are made out to be by a lot of our fans on this forum? Especially Wolfy.
Maybe a controversial post, but a lot want Axel in the team, it's surely not a given that if he does come in to the side regularly that it won't be Wolfy's place he is taking rather than Burgess?
Now that we've signed Taylor, surely we will be making enquiries for Clarke-Harris too?
It's got to be worthwhile surely, if only just in case we miss out on signing Simms and/or Hirst. JCH must be desperately wanting to leave now, and you would think be very keen to link up with his old team mate again and to be part of what's happening at Ipswich and play under McKenna.
I absolutely loved the way he tried to gee up the other players and the crowd after Plymouth equalised. Like he genuinely believed that Town could still react and win that game.
Class player and his attitude is spot on. So happy to have him in our team. And scoring the goals and doing the business again tonight.
I'm not saying that Walton even had a particularly bad game, but what was he trying to do? He looked so nervous every time the ball came back to him. Didn't look comfortable at all with Plymouth playing the high press.
Somebody should tell him that he's a goalie in the first place because he wasn't good enough to play outfield on the pitch. He should realise that trying to take 2 or 3 touches or playing so many short passes is far too risky, not even sure a Sunday league goalkeeper would be taking as many risks as he was. Just invited pressure on himself and the defence, though admittedly he got away with it this time.
Obviously he wants to keep possession and play out from the back, but surely if he's not 100% confident in those situations he would be better just to put his foot through it and leather it up the field?
If he has a poor game or gets injured then it's a problem because he's pretty much undroppable. I don't think anyone has sufficient confidence in Hladky as a back up. It's the only position where we don't have decent cover.
If someone who is over 65 has an OAP season ticket, and is unable to go to a game, wants to lend it to someone else under 65 is there any way that could work?
Or would there be a risk of being refused entry and the season ticket confiscated? Or is there a way of paying the difference or another way round it?
Might not be technically as good a player as Aluko or Celina, but I prefer him to both.
4 games into the season and already scored 3 goals. Equivalent to what Aluko scored in the WHOLE OF LAST SEASON and half of what Celina scored in the WHOLE OF LAST SEASON.
What I love about Harness is that he is direct and effective. Goals win games and will give us a much greater chance of promotion. I know I bang on about Aluko's lack of goals but I really don't understand why fans seem to love him so much. Fine as an impact sub, but he doesn't contribute enough in goals and assists to drive a promotion push IMO.
I'm not expecting Harness to carry on scoring at the rate he has been, but you would think that he would be in double figures by the end of the season. Same as Burns and Chaplin. I'm going to stick my neck out and say with the amount of chances he's been getting that Morsy will be in double figures or close to it as well.
So in essence, Morsy, Burns, Chaplin and Harness should be starting all or nearly all games this season. Aluko, Jackson and Cat are all very good players but should remain as impact subs IMO, on the basis that none of them are likely to have the same high goal returns.
Jury is out on Ladapo, but I still fancy him to be in double figures by the end of the season too (if he's not replaced by another striker). Hasn't scored yet but looks sharp and has shown previously that he's a natural goal scorer.
