I won't be voting, but i stand by my prediction all year that 'a fit PB get's us to the Prem"

DF needs to play the way he did v Blackburn but include PB.

Tis the ONLY way.

Bamford 100%.

There is a reason we had that amazing run from 1st january so just stick with the players who made it happen.

Tinkering does not help as some seem to think it does.

It may be too early for him, but if we don’t try, we won’t know. I think he’s some sort of relative of Emile Heskey, his dads cousin I think from memory, so we might have a world beater on our hands 😂😂😂
Indeed he has, Kev. :tup:

Joseph.
He's an 'instinct' striker, knowing where to make his runs in the box. Sort of like Ian Wright used to do for Arsenal.
And in my opinion, the best finisher we've got at the moment.

Whoever is in a purple patch or in form. Best left to the dude who see’s them everyday.

Aye - I know not the answer you are looking for, all have different strengths and weaknesses for me and to some degree it depends on the opposition and whom on that list is likely to be the most effective.

But there are only three of them in the running, 2 of which based on Farke’s previous selections are realistic.

Against Boro - I would play more on the counter with a 4-3-3

Front 3 of Cry -Joseph - Gnonto - simply for the pace.

With a more solid 3 behind them of Kamara - Amps - Gray

Back four - Byram - Coops - Rodon - Roberts

At home - I would go with something different. I am in agreement that the whole of the squad needs utilising more.

Maybe the right answer, could easily be the wrong answer.

Who knows?

DF needs to play players in form. Therefore Bamford needs to be on the bench along with Rutter who keeps losing the ball.

Joseph for me.

Head and shoulders ahead of the rest.

If people think he's too young and not ready then what's Archie Gray doing in the team?

Bamford should have been jettisoned after that first season in the Prem along with a host of others.

I wish we had two strikers called Meat & Crumpet. Imagine that combo.
Ipswich won’t fade. As predicted.

I cant vote as I think Farke needs to change the whole one up top scenario.

Boring old 4-4-2

Back 4 as per usual but MF of Gruev Rutter Gnonto and Jimmy
Joseph and Bamford as two 9s

passing it sideways and not linking up with James is my answer.
