Title: 2 up top

We look so much more of a threat like that

Also look much better without trying to find spaces for Houghton, Whiteman and Dave in the same line up.

I didn't go but didn't we only have Marquis on as a striker?

Played Beestin up front and when he was subbed I think it was about 72 mins Mandeville played along side Marquis.
Much much better with 2 up top.

Beestin played more in a withdrawn role rather than 2 out and out strikers. Alfie May still our best option for the Marquis support player.

I thought it'd be this. Beestin is a number 10. Never been a striker.

Yeah he didn't play in a front two as such but when out of possession they both pressed as a duo against the back three so you could argue it was a front two.

  Mandeville is our best finisher by far,all the others have to take a touch and have not got his composure in front of goal,and his ball control is miles ahead of the others.
