Striker recall (not possible)

[Dogface]

Do we have options to recall any of our strikers? I know it wouldn’t be ideal and certainly cook and Maynard would not want to be here but we may have no option

[MTFCMusings]

No.

Cook and Maynard arnt scoring. If they were fair enough. Fact is they are not doing any better than Bowery or Reid. Same can be said for Rose.

Why what's Rose doing thats better than what we have?

The are posters on this forum who are so hell bent on defending Reid, they have lost the objectivity.

He is completely out of his depth playing at this level. No pace, poor movement, can’t win a header, poor passing, persistent fouler and average (at best) finisher.

Yes he works hard, but that’s not enough. The defending was shambolic for the last 20 minutes, but we are so toothless that the opposition don’t need to fear going forward.

I can’t think of a worse striker since we got promoted, and I include Ollie Palmer in that.

We are like a boxer with fighting with two broken arms.

Totally agree . When other players see someone so out of his depth selected every game it doesn’t help .

Yeah but after we raspberried Ollie Palmer off and everyone decided he was dogdo, he went on to carve out a decent career for himself at a number of clubs & has been known to stick it to us when our paths have crossed since.

It's almost like fans (including me) know raspberry all about professional football.

Reid is certainly someone to have on the books on the bench, but certainly isn’t good enough to start.

[bigalstag1]

Yes, somebody else's bench. He' have a job, holding down a place in a Sunday league team. Only gets a game because the manager has to prove everbody wrong. How Maynard couldn't get a run of games, over him, is beyond me.

He did, and was rubbish for the vast majority of them. Especially this season.

[lifestags]

Reid is far too inconsistent, 1 good game in 5 isn’t good enough. We should of replaced Cook and Maynard with an out and out striker.

[Cleveland_Stag]

5 in 31 in all competitions this season for Reid. Couple that poor goal scoring return with the fact that he’s got no pace, doesn’t hold the ball up that well, isn’t an aerial threat, and is probably below par with regards to his link up play. Aside from that...

[Sandy Pate Best Stag]

Reid is trying to plough a lone furrow against two or three defenders every game so it’s no wonder he doesn’t get very far.

Since Lapslie was injured he has had very little support and in my opinion Clarke is the main culprit. With Bowery and Charsley staying on the wings it makes Reid an easy watch for defenders. He needs more support from the middle if he is to find the space to be effective.

It's easy for you to see Maynard through rosey coloured specs now that he's gone. Fact is he was given games and did nothing. So far he's done nothing at Newport. Similar can be said for Cook and Rose (although Rose is playing in a higher league).

Who would you rather have up front, Rose or Reid?

I guess the majority of supporters would go for the former

Rose. However, I think it was a correct decision to allow Maynard and Cook to go.

Agree and we don't seem to be getting the players in the box to support him like we had been doing

Cook has scored 3 goals in 5 appearances for Bradford and Maynard is vastly superior to Reid. I wasn't a massive fan of Rose but he is also infinitely better than Reid. At the start of this season Reid was our 5th choice striker and by January our top 3 strikers were gone and not replaced. And that is the main reason why we are not scoring many goals at the moment. As I mentioned on another thread - how this situation came about is baffling.
