Marlon Harewood

I think we are still lacking in something from a strikers, like we are still a player short. We have a lump in Harewood, not sure how many goals are in him but he did look to hold the ball up a bit. We have a nippy striker in Baldock but lumping it to him won't get him into the game. What are our other options, Taylor is injured still (again) isn't he, and he's not full of goals and Wes Burns who is only 18 and unlikely to get picked ahead of the others. I know Jet is chipping in with the goals but he's more of a midfielder than an out and out striker with the freerole he has, eg he takes he free kicks rather than being on the receiving end of them.

We need to play the ball over the defence for Baldock - just like Posh did for their man today - why we lump it to him I have no idea.

Worse case scenario is it pegs their defence deep, and pushes their whole team deeper (or they have huge gaps in midfield) either of which would suit us.

I do question the wisdom of that. Particularly corners. JET has a powerdriver shot and is quite tall and hefty.

Remember that JET corner that fell to Pack only for a tame shot to be easily saved. If Pack had been the corner taker and JET the receiver just ouside the box, we might've seen a rocket hit the back of the net.

I like big Marlon's enthusiasm but I don't think we can accommodate him at present. JET was non existent today but we still need him in the side and can't play him anywhere else than in a free role. Baldock is captain and a goalscorer so will always play. Even though his performance today resembled nothing like that of a captain.

The only way we can accommodate Baldock, Harewood & JET is to play 3 at the back, 2 in central midfield and 2 wing backs. In other words 3-5-2 or variation of.

With the defence we had out there today no chance. With Carey and Shorey in a back 3 maybe, but it's also dependent on Bryan and Wagstaff to play as wingbacks. One can do it, but not sure about the other.

I would rather we play the ball on the floor, and show a lot better movement than we did for most of today. Lumping it forward to Baldock is just never going to work, apart from the odd occasion a defender makes a complete howler and let's him through.

Of course if it was our defence and goalkeeper, I am sure we would be generous enough to let him have at least one goal......
