Gordopolis Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 Decent squad named for this: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/43991415 My only concern is the fact that there are 4 named 'forwards', none of whom are actually strikers. Worried we're getting carried away with the attitude that naming a savvy attacking midfielder or winger (like Phillips or Christie in the main squad) is becoming acceptable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigkillie Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 That's the way football is at the moment - there are a lot fewer specialist centre-forwards around than there used to be. I'd expect quite a few teams to play at the World Cup with converted wingers and so on up front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forameus Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 It's not necessarily a problem to do so either. Unless the player in question is Matt Phillips of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christie is certainly not a forward but phillips has done ok in that role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

killieshire Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 Good header from Hornby. Ralston not looking the same player as he did last season. You can also tell Taylor is one of the few players with plenty of first team experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
