TheFamilyCat wrote:Wouldn't be fussed about Wells leaving but I'd really like to see Vydra given a chance; along with Wood, Barnes and Jay, that's a really good, mixed front four to choose from. Alas, it appears very unlikely that it will happen.

ClaretTony wrote:You bring someone else in when you have injuries - it's not like cb at all because you can change system and play with one striker should there be a crisis. I was just suggesting that it is some considerable time ago that we weren't able to play two strikers due to injuries.

summitclaret wrote:Yes but that takes us away from our preferred system and probably increases the chances of injuries in future. I just don't get that people seem to think that we should take risks when can afford not to.

Could be a right royal rumble.
