    I have to agree. I'm not one for slating Sam but he's fourth in my pecking order of strikers. Watkins is top for me.

    You mean the other 3 are better.

    I think they play better with Watkins. Our best football comes with Watkins playing and in my opinion I think Bradshaw plays well with him.

    Agree with that exact order.

    Winnall had his usual chances today.

    The usual thing happened.

    Bradshaw linked play up so much better when he came on.

    Bradshaw might not be better at hitting the net when Winnall's in one of his hot streaks.

    But this is a higher league and it seems to me that Winnall lacks the pace for it.

    When will Winnall next hit a hot streak though? For someone who was a great finisher this season, his finishing has been poor this season. Given his all round play has been a bit suspect, when he's not scoring he doesn't bring much to the team.

    How many did Bradshaw score last season? So far this season he just looks a better option to me. I don't want to criticise Sam but on current form he doesn't deserve to be playing ahead of any of our other strikers.

    I'm not sure whether anyone in our community takes the time to count how many goals a striker scores when compared to how many chances he has.

    And anyway the next question would be "what is a chance?"

    Plus if you're in a side that keeps giving you chances to score then you'll score.

    Then again you might sometimes create your own chances

    Then how many you score depends upon your ability.

    I'm sure that all this will be computerised. Analysed. Done to death. By the professionals.

    Winnall's still starting....................
