We have quite a few options now in the striker positions. Personally, i'd quite like to see Taylor and Harrison. Harrison deserves a start (although will he be more effective as a impact player is a question) and Taylor seems to be doing everything put score. Harrison isn't a slouch in the air IF we need to mix it, it's definitely a mobile forward line and Taylor's interlinking play is pretty bang on. They seem like they would make quite a bit of room for eachother and stretch defences.
What are your thoughts and what would you go for?

Cunnington and Taylor. Harrison makes a good impact sub from the bench. I see it as a chance for us to beat a struggling team by a few goals. Saying that I'd take a 1-0 right now!

Hard to say that Harrison doesn't deserve a start, highest scoring striker.

We have quite a few options now in the striker positions. How nice it is to be able to say that (and with Balanta yet to appear). However, they really need to start chipping in a bit more! This isn't meant as a dig, but the longer the likes of Brunt, White and Taylor remain missing from the scoresheet the more the pressure will increase on them. I'd really like them to get off the mark soon as I think it'll do their confidence a world of good and could open the floodgates for at least one of them. Who knows what that'd do for our results given things in that area aren't too shabby at the moment! We've all said it before and it often bites us in the backside, but a bit of quiet optimism about our current squad... |

Make no bones about it our strikers need to start scoring regular, no excuses (other than the right supply) if they do and the others keep doing we wont go far wrong.

The key to kicking on though will be to get at least one of our strikers firing on all cylinders. I assumed it would be Taylor or White getting the goals, but if EH looks like the one most likely to score he should start. Whatever though, it's a big turnaround for the lad and good on him for getting his head down. |

DC has shown he is not afraid to tinker depending on the opposition but I would be inclined to stick with what we went with today and continue to use Ellis as a (very good) impact player. Actually nice to have a couple of options.

He needs to start, confidence is high, all we need is someone to play with him.

Couple of goals for any of the strikers and they will earn a starting spot, with all of them misfiring saying there is an opportunity is an understatement. We have a lot of options now. Taylor, White, Brunt, Cunnington, Harrison, and Monkhouse played there today. 4-3-2-1 would be interesting, Taylor/Harrison/Martin/Balanta could play wing forward. |

Ellis to start; he's done enough to justify a place in the starting 11.

It's a difficult one.
I'd like to see Taylor get a goal sooner rather than later, and Tuesday will require experience. Nuneaton are no mugs defensively, and I suspect that Ellis would be fairly ineffective as a starter. Later in the game however, he'd be a threat for sure.
So I'll go for Taylor and Cunnington. Ellis off the bench against Nuneaton's tiring legs could be handy though.

At home cunnington and Taylor have worked well so I don't see any reason to change it.
Today's changes worked well too so we've got a plan B
Jesus Dam Christ we've got a plan B !

I wouldnt start him just yet, let the lad chill he is getting some success and will be reaping his reward as far as squad status is concerned, keep making him feel he is wanted and useful and he will develop nicely given time I am sure. |

Spot on. He was made up too much after a short run of two or three good games a couple of years ago and never got that form back and now he's just starting to show promise again. Gently gently with Ellis is now the way forward. |

First half today Taylor was superb, he will get goals pretty soon and when he does i think he will go on a great scoring run.
Cunnington and Taylor for me with Harrison off the bench.

I listened to the first half and Taylor seemed to be mentioned alot. dmacca65 is right though. DC should sit down with Ellis. Tell him how ***g brilliant he is, but explain why he'll be coming off the bench for the next few games. As for up front. Leadbitter & Sinclair?  |

Seems White and Brunt not featuring even on the bench.Not connected but amazed to see Matt Gill played for Tranmere yesterday.Eliot ,Danny Woodards there too but never rated Matt who could only pass sideways.
