Which four forwards start the playoffs, if everyone's fit.

I'd have Jones in over Forss if he is properly back to form. Forss has done well on right but he is still a striker filling in for me, Jones is more creative.

As good as Ramsey has been at times I still like McGree on the left.



Jones. Akpom. McGree.
Archer.
 
Archer and Akpom are locks.

It's basically 2 from McGree, Forss and Ramsey.

And I wouldn't mind any 2 of the 3.

Then Crooks & Jones as cover.
 
I'd have said Akpom, McGree, Forss and Archer a few days ago, with McGree on the left. and Ramsey on the bench. I'm not so sure about that now.
 
McGree, Akpom, Forss, Archer.

I'd be more than happy with Jones starting, as I've always rated him, but I think Forss has been consistent through the season.
Likewise with McGree over Ramsey.

Jones did well last night, hopefully he has his mojo back, however I would still start Forss, he's one of the reasons why our attack has been so successful this season.
I think Ramsey's pace and direct style of play, poses a greater threat on the left than McGree.
 
Given the lack of game time McGree has had since his international break, I’d have to go Archer, Akpom, Ramsey and Forss.

However I think Jones and Dijksteel combine well on the right the best, as a unit ,so I am gonna cop out and say it would depend on the opposition for that right side and whether Smith was fit or not.

Forss going full tilt for an hour, with Smith behind him -
Then a fresh Jones tearing the knackered fullback to shreads, with Dijksteel supporting him in the last 30 mins.

This is the ticket for me.

Left side, McGree or Ramsey, depends who is fitter! Then if we need changes to the side I'd be bringing on Dijksteel and Jones + swap McGree or Ramsey on the other side.

Opposition would be blowing if they had to deal with those lads fresh after an hour.
 
I do like McGree because hes more of an all rounder.

My concern like others is getting key players fit - currently we have Ramsey, McGree, and Forss in treatment for injuries. add to Fry, Smith, Clarke, Fisher.
 
the crazy aussie guy on twitter seems to think mcgree is out for the rest of the season

for me ramsey, archer, akpom, jones (if he continues like the 2nd half the other night). can always bring forss in for ramsey
 
Akpom, Archer and Ramsey are PL ability. They must play.
Forss to start right, with Jones coming on in second half on the right unless Jones makes himself impossible not to start again.
McGree and Crooks are then excellent cover.

It is an excellent group of forward players and I love watching them play.

(I'd personally play Dijksteel at RB, but am certain Carrick will stick with Smith if fit.)
 
Smith has two important attributes that we otherwise, somewhat lack in the squad -
Leadership and a smidgen of barstewardness.

To start with IMHO, Akpom (most prolific & all round game) and a fully fit McGree (most creative) pick themselves.

After that it's more or less 2 from 4, with Archer, Ramsey, Forss and Jones. Though it's incredibly tight, would probably plump for Archer and Jones (if he carries on playing as he did against Hull that is)

However, it IS a close run thing for the last 2 starting berths and injuries to other players aside the 2 of these 4 that had to settle for the bench would 100% come on for the 2 starters at some point so that we still had players on to rip up the opposition who were fresh legs to boot.

Crooks and Muniz etc would only make the bench at best and probably as an unused sub at that if everyone was fit.
