If you bother to note the time, you'll notice I made the post about about him not tracking back based on his first half performance. Yes he was moved more centrally in the second half, before being moved wide again later in the game. However, don't let the facts get in the way.
To be fair earlier in this thread you labelled playing Cornet upfront as a crackpot idea and was thankful that those suggesting this were not our manager.
Well I guess Dyche must have weighed up your opinion with that of the crackpots and sided with the crackpots

Wow... he briefly played as a striker. I take it all back!
All it proves is that our regular strikers aren't cutting it right now (and haven't for a while). I think most people would still concede that Cornet is more often than not going to be employed as a wide player.
It's as obvious as knowing that z cars started as a sixties show!

Maybe next time think twice about scoffing at other peoples opinions and ideas especially when you're not too clever yourself. I mean if you're going to try and have a pop at me its probably best not to use one of my fishing posts which you obviously fell for.

The real question was why wasn't he starting wide right in today's must win game?
ItS a fair question. As a minimum he should have been on the bench and probably introduced late in the game. Quick question here-JBG has featured in nearly all 9 games this season. Please remind me of something "game changing he has done in that time ?? Infact fact last season. My worry with Roberts is that he has seen 9 largely mediocre performances and he cannot get on the bench.I hope it does not have the same impact as it did on Gibson. If Wales had a World Cup qualifying game Tuesday he would go straight into the team, whether at RB or wing man

Just a bit of humour pal. When you grow up you'll realise there's more to a footy forum than just squabbling and childish emoji's.
For now you though you just keep on keeping on

Wouldn't need a goalkeeper!
No Tarks is playing rush back and even with 10 Dyche won’t put Vydra on until the last 10 mins

It still doesn't mean he's playing as a striker, because he isn't!
The problems down their right are largely coming from him not tracking back.
So, Fidel, looking at today’s lineup, where would you say he’s playing?

Without a crystal ball, I've no idea.
You must be bricking yourself at the thought of the minimum wage going up in April

Classic deflection tactics.
Go on, admit I was right.
