    It's good we have 4 options up top. He seems to work well with Cole, as does Norwood. Tedic is more a replacement for Cole, as far as I see it.

    I wish he’d stop elbowing people. Perfectly possible to play a physical game up top without running the risk of getting sent off. He got away with an elbow yesterday.

    Think he's learning the physical pressing role that Duff loves..just need to learn between physical and dirty

    Said exactly the same. It’s the way he leads with the elbow. Quick glance at their player before he does it. He knows exactly what he’s doing. Straight from the Alan Shearer playbook. But he’s not Alan Shearer.

    I'd say Norwood & Cole are are first choices. Any team running for promotion always need 4 striking options. Injury / suspension & general squad rotation. Technically we have 5 if we use "Oil". Could also play Luke as a number 10, if we needed to.

    Based on what I saw yesterday, after Norwood and Cole, Tedic would be my next choice striker - for me, even though we'd moved from 3rd gear down into 2nd gear by the time he came on, he caused more problems then Watters did - seems to be quicker / taller / stronger imho.

    I think it depends on who we are playing. Tedic was probably more suited to playing Morecambe, because of how much they sat back. That meant Tedic’s hold up play was more useful than Watters’ pace

    If we got promoted i wouldn’t be interested in signing him put it that way but at league 1 level he can do a job .
