Is it time to experiment with a false 9

Our strikers can’t seem to score so is it time to replace them for s few games with players that can make those runs into the box can move and find space and most importantly can shoot

the likes of whatmore Johnson and tav maybe even sav up top to go for mobility and try something different as we surely have enough players on mr to keep it solid.
 
I hate the term as well but it does sum up the formation I just mean using a player more suited to be a mf attacker as a forward as they have shown that they can finish.
 
Well Zorro on a more serious note what I would say is we were doing something right at the begining of the season, and it doesn't seem to be working now.

I would be tempted to get to the bottom of that first, is it fatigue, is it Djiksteel missing. Changing things drastically, probably isn't required, but getting back to what we were doing a few weeks ago may well work.

If the issue is fatigue field a different 11 for a couple of weeks and give some players a bit of time off to recuperate. Yes we may drop points whilst your better players recover but it may work. I know this approach isnt usual, but the season is compressed this year and better use of what squad you do have may be the difference between the winners and loosers this season.

I made the point on another thread, the table is very tight, and it is probably that way because all teams are struggling to get consistency as they are sufferring from the same malaise that effects us, possibly.
 
I think we are suffering from a small core not a small squad but let’s be honest we know the first 8 nines on the team sheet every week with only a few subtle changes.

I do think we need to look at what worked earlier in the season esp at the back and get back to that.

I do think that we have changed something wether to be more attacking I don’t know but it’s not worked so yes if playing for 1-0s is the key then let’s get back to it.

As look at the injuries howson last night djiksteel the other week McNair with Ireland all going off or looking doubtful due to non contact injuries just burning out.
