Should we start Bednar next game ?

[Howard9]

I was there at the Rovers game today and i thought roman provided NOTHING up front was very slow didnt get off the ground and didnt fight for the ball he supposedly then went off 35 mins with an injury and when hes gone we bang 5 in

So should we start him at ipswich ?

Or should be play dyer vassell gallagher up front which got us back into the game and caused alot of trouble for donny as we can tell now

[Lineker's Left Foot]

Yes I would. Thought he was good against Forest, but not so against Watford and today. Personally I think he is carrying an injury and needs to work on his fitness, but he'll get there and when he does, he'll be a class act,. He hasn't turned into a bad player overnight.

[Bugg]

I hope our front three next week is:

Dyer---Vassell---Gallagher

[Narborough_fox]

No start with Dyer on the right with Gally on the left and Vassell down the middle. So same team after Bednar had gone on and Dyer had come on, Dyer looked like a threat today.

[Ziggy1990]

Fit or unfit, he doesn't bring anything we don't have to the team

isnt fast, not particually big in the air and has a ropey first touch...... unfortunaltely feel we need a "big name" striker (not that ive got anything against Howard, Fryatt or Waggy

[STUHILL]

Thought he was very poor today. Couldn't do anything right.

I would start with Dyer - Waghorn/Howard - Vassel

[Wymsey]

Reminds me of Mark De vries, sloppy, no desire and basically - shit

[ajthefox]

it's a tough call really. He is still getting up to fitness and has a proven goal scoring record, plus having a loanee on the bench for weeks is pointless.

However, we were so much better after he went off and to be honest I think it would be such a shame if what was our best 45 minutes in a long time had no bearing on the team for ipswich.

I think Dyer has to start really, so unless Sven drops someone else, gallagher would be the only other choice for me, then I don't think there is any choice but to drop bednar

[Finnegan]

If the alternative is Howard and playing the same system then I'd rather see Bednar. He has infinitely more quality and his form and fitness can only improve, it's not a slight against Howard it's just a statement of absolute fact.

If Sven is happy to play a more dynamic front line, keep the ball on the deck and feed one of either Vassell or Waghorn, however, then I'm definitely in support of that. I've long loathed the British notion that a big centre forward is compulsory.

[foxychik]

thought we were a different side once dyer came on and vassell went up front today it made all the difference we had pace up front for the first time in a long while and it paid dividends, I defo would start with dyer vassell and gally

From what was on display today, there is absolutely no need for a reliance on a big centre forward. At the moment I simply can't see how Bednar warrants a place in our first team given that Dyer and Waghorn are both fighting hard for a place. Not to forget Howard as well, but I can't help but feel he's much better suited as an impact man off the bench.

That pretty much sums up the sensible vote. I do think Bednar is talented at this level but wonder if the owners have the time to wait.....

[Kitchandro]

Absolutely not. I don't want to get on his back because he's only had 3 games, but he hasn't shown anything that Howard can't do, and he was pretty poor today.

As soon as he went off we were taking the piss! I don't know how he can start - Vassell was pushed into the centre and he looked a lot more effective, and he took his goal well.

The team that started the second half has to start next week.

Dyer-Vassell-Gallagher

I'm not saying Bednar can't do it, but he didn't even look close to doing it today.

[Dames]

Personally i think a front 3 of Vassell - Waghorn - Dyer would be the most potent.

[Finnegan]

Personally i think a front 3 of Vassell - Waghorn - Dyer would be the most potent.

If they can get Waghorn playing with confidence then I agree, he's infinitely more dynamic than Gallagher.

I have no issue with Gallagher per se, but I do not feel he is our optimum choice in any position in the current formation.

[Bryn]

Has looked sluggish and disruptive to our teams play to me. Probably due to lack of fitness, but no I wouldn't start him.

[Jackirius]

He has looked dog, but has the potential to be a top player for us.

[Kitchandro]

Personally i think a front 3 of Vassell - Waghorn - Dyer would be the most potent.

I think Vassell is shit on the right. As soon as he moved into the centre he was so much more effective. If Waghorn can find the form he had last season then he will definitely be in the starting line up at some stage.

[Legend_in_blue]

Bednar was terrible. He offers no improvement over Howard. The only area in which he has shown himself to be superior is in terms of raw pace. Everything else, he is playing second fiddle. Touch, holding the ball up, determination, aggression... the list goes on and on.

But then there is an argument for having neither Howard nor Bednar in the team. On today's performance, any team in this division would have struggled to cope with so much pace. The movement in the 2nd half was fantastic.

We have Bednar's injury to thank for saving us the game, because if he'd still been on that pitch, there's no chance of us winning by 5 to 1.

[red5]

I've seen nothing in Bednar in any game that would warrant him starting, for a big man like Gally he can't/wont head the ball, at least Howard can/will head it.

Hope we don't sign him, I'd rather have Vaughan as he is fast and can head the ball well.

Agree, I'd love to get Vaughan I think he's perfect for that role. Vassell was good there today though

[MattyFromLE]

Injury or no injury. Today he was awful, the ball just hit him and went back to Donny everytime. Touch of a rapist, I don't see what Waghorn and Dyer have to do to get into the starting 11

[Haydos]

Couple of people have mentioned waggy instead of gally. Thought he had a good game today but he he has the vision and passing ability that waghorn lacks. Couple of times when waggy came on i saw players making good runs that i could see gally utilising. Waggy seems more adept at head down, bursting into space and looks like he needs a lot more time to anticipate a pass.

If we play dyer and vassell i think gally fits in well, offering some good decision making on the counter attack.

[ajthefox]

to be fair to waggy, his pass to put king through was brilliant, and he is without question a striker and imo by no means a winger, so his passing by comparison to gallagher, who is hardly passer of the year is less of an issue than what it would be if he was actually a winger/midfielder/whatever it is gally is.

[dannythefox]

Dont think we need him he wont run for the ball, never wins anything and hes crap with his head. I dont think hes fit though he need to work on that which we dont have time for hopefully he'll be out for 3weeks so we can prove to sven we dont need him. Start with waggy an vassell next week.
