Easter is 10 times the player Blisset is to suggest Bliss would offer anything in his place is just comedy. I wanted bliss to do well but ended up feeling sorry for him. To be fair to Blissett he has not been given his chance yet in the football league. Nothing Taylor has done will convince me he will ever make it in the league and a combination of Blissett or another big awkward number nine and Easter or Bodin surely have to be given their chance. Quite obviously Blissett would not replace Easter a footballer of proven ability at a higher level but sadly now langusihing in the lower leagues due to a lack of pace, he obviously still has the skills but his pace is long gone. As regards Harrison his perfomances this season show no improvement on what he achieved in the last two seasons in the football league and bear no resemblence to what he achieved in the run in to Wembley last season. No coincidence in my opinion that his and Taylors best was seen in a non league season.

I thought Easter was the pick of the 3 strikers (despite not playing a strikers role for obvious reasons) and possibly man of the match. He held the ball up well played some good link up play. Kept the ball well and don't recall a single error from him. A very clever football brain. Hard to judge overall after the red but we deserved something today.

I think Easter is a good striker, I have confidence when he's taking a shot on. As said previously he doesn't give the ball away much.
My only criticism of him or of Darrell is that we when we went one down they put 9 behind the ball and it was hard to break them down. Easter playing between the lines meant we had our most dangerous striker too deep. I would've like him playing just off Harrison at the stage.

Ignoring the Barnet game what as Easter actually contributed this season in the form of assists etc/decent attempts on target this season virtually nil, there's no point in being10 times better 5 years ago, it's now that matters. Oxford's goal came from a simple knock down which Blisset is surely capable of but Easter nor Taylor seemingly don't have the physical presence to do it.

Which is 100% more than he had with shots on target? Regardless it's easy to keep possession when all a player does his pass it side ways or back wards

Look, if you you are seriously suggesting that NB is a better option than Easter, I disagree with you. No big deal. I've watched both. Blisset is rubbish, nice chap but useless. At least Easter looks capable and has pedigree. He has been endorsed by his teammates too. Blisset hasn't.

Technically Easter is far better than Blisset but the latter offers something we haven't got upfront, a physical presence, Easter & Taylor are virtually identical players, as his Bodin, so far as the Mem they've created litter between them.

The only combination that really worked well last season was Taylor and Harrison yet this season we've hardly seen them play together. I think they could both get 15 this season though I'm keen to see us bring in a biggger forward too, although I don't want to see us hoofing it all the time.

I will defend Jermaine Easter to the hilt. They said on Sky during the game that he had told them he was doing his best but was only 70 per cent fit. If that is the case then a few more tough games like todays should get him up to speed. I like him. He is a thinking man's player with bags of experience and a lot of his work is unselfish. Someone said he wasn't a goalscorer but when he sharpens up I think he will prove more prolific than Harrison or Taylor, who still doesn't react or think quickly enough at this level. Easter was pulled back and Taylor left up front after the sending off today. I really thought he did OK and rarely gives the ball away. Also, for those knocking Lines (and I haven't always been his biggest fan), I thought he was excellent today. Joe Bananas probably won't have it, but he was always at the centre of things, trying to kick start us, and covered every blade of grass, even to the point of doing a hell of a lot of tackling back and retrieving the ball after we were down to 10 men. He has come in for a lot of criticism in the past but I couldn't fault him today.

I agree with Buckrippers and thought Lines was the best player on the pitch today and I also felt that Easter had a good game but in truth our strikers stand no chance in this set up which is basically to try to stop the opponents scoring by staying behind the ball and just leaving two players to spend all their energy chasing around four defenders with no chance whatsoever of actually getting the ball and the midfielders are generally getting the ball so deep that they too are finding it difficult to get forward. We really need to play 20 or thirty yards further up the pitch and harrass the opponents defenders by pushing up on them. For all our possession today does anybody really think we looked like scoring other than set pieces?

We've lost a few games, it's natural for people to start looking for fall guys. On here anyway. All of our players had a good game imo, we played well, just didn't score. We mix it up now rather than hoof it every single time. Chapman rolled/threw the ball out more than he kicked it. It's refreshing but we do need to convert possession into shots.

Nobody is looking for a fall guys Easter's just not up to the task, Carlisle have signed some journey striker whose scoring for fun we've an ex Championship striker who doesn't even seem to relise he's supposed to be having shots/scoring goals at the moment he's Brunt Mk2.

We need wingers to break the opposition down and unfortunately we do not have one decent winger who has a trick with pace who can take on and beat a full back and centre the ball.

I think Montano will get there fairly quickly given the chance.

I also think your 2nd point is misjudged. Ellis is a lot more clinical than Easter.
