Jastons Posted October 31, 2023 Report Share Posted October 31, 2023 I thought Spencer looked really good first half at the weekend . He was in space plenty of times too which his teammates struggled to see . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not saying he'd have been the ultimate answer but he'd walk past Bair and Shaw into our team right now. Scored a peach at Easter Road tonight and was a right handful for the Hibs defence.

He was pretty dire for us though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand Wilkinson has his strengths. He's our second best striker and knows where the goals are. However he's not especially mobile and not exactly a target man.

bobbybingo Posted November 1, 2023 Report Share Posted November 1, 2023 With Miller coming back in, I think Kettlewell will be reasonably happy to keep it at 0-0 till he can get Biereth on, so I won't fall off my seat if he reverts to starting with Bair.

Chanzeypopz Posted November 1, 2023 Report Share Posted November 1, 2023 Wasent it discussed already that its in Mika's contract he isnt allowed to play a full 90 mins 🙄 As much as i would love to see that its probably too soon, And i would also take Wilkinson over Bair even though both his goals this season have been given to him on a plate from Mika Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's then one of our first-choice strikers. Expand Horses for courses. Assuming he goes with the 4 man midfield/lone striker option - which was much more secure than the 2 striker system - it has to be Shaw or Bair. Wilkinson probably has better goal scoring instincts/ability than both put together, but he's been as slow as a week in the jail so far, and does Kettlewell trust him to do the dirty work on his own up front? We know he thinks Bair can. And of course he's one of our first choice strikers now. The others are currently either fecked, half fecked or feckin awful.

Jastons Posted November 1, 2023 Report Share Posted November 1, 2023 Whoever starts up front I want to see them get into the box . Bair has a habit of staying wide of the goal . I want to see him with a bit of confidence, win headers and shoot . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not in his arsenal. At absolute best he can do the donkey work for a much more well rounded striker. Which is why I thought that, given a chance and a run of games, he and Shaw may be worth looking at until Biereth gets back to full fitness. Once Biereth and Wilkinson are fully fit that's the two I'd go with every time. If we use two. If we use one then it would need to be one of them.

David Posted November 1, 2023 Report Share Posted November 1, 2023 And that's not to say that Bair doesn't have a role to play. As much as I don't think he's worth the paper his contract is printed on, he's someone we can fire on if we're holding a lead or looking to shore up in the last 15 minutes or so and he can do his running around and whatever else he does. But if we want to actually score goals and win football games? He's not going to be figuring much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
