    I’d like to see something fresh.

    Jacob Brown was the pick of the strikers in pre season and he can be no worse than others who have attempted the lone striker roll this season. Whether we go 4-4-2 or 4-3-3 I’d like to see him given a go.

    Adeboyejo has scored goals for fun at development level so may be worth a run although Ugbo is prolific at that level too as were others who came to nothing so it’s not certainty. Again I just don’t see how he could do a worse job.

    We’ve got to do something as 3 goals in 8 is appalling and the ball does not stick at Bradshaws feet to build attacks.

    One thing I noted about Brown was his ability to control a ball turn and drive forward or lay it off. That for me is what we’re missing.

    If it’s more of the same as expected then let’s just hope it works this time. Come on you reds.

    Need to try something different, because the same old isn't working.

    It would help greatly if we didn't just boot it up to Bradshaw as he rarely wins it in the air in these situations. He's our leading goalscorer so we need to play to his strengths - balls into the box from wide where he can get on the end of them.

    Our football right now hurts my eyes and hinders our chances of winning matches.

    I know we can’t score for **** at the minute but I really don’t think Bradshaw is the issue, he’s barely had half a chance in the games I’ve seen recently (Cardiff, Leeds, Derby, Brentford and Preston) and he bagged in 2 of the 3 games I didn’t go to. Need some creativity from someone in midfield but I can’t see where it’s coming from at the minute.

    I'd have Brown on the bench over Ugbo. I think Thiam may come good, there are signs he has ability I reckon. I hope he gets a goal, as that might make all the difference. Glad Barnes is starting & we are keeping Gardiner & Williams in the middle. We need to not chop & change the middle of the park too much. I think Pinnock & Lindsay could be out first choice pairing in central defence if they avoid injury. Pinnock is a class act in my book & Lindsay a good solid ball winner at set pieces.
