Find it bizarre the amount of people that wouldn't start the leagues top goal scorer

However you cut it up it's a great problem to have that we've got three strikers that look like scoring goals whenever they play and that most of the fans agree are quality :)

Much as I like the signing of Fyvie, we need the option of wide midfielders, especially against teams that sit in and defend?
I've mentioned on an other thread that we need some goals from midfield and that the lack of is why we are drawing so many games. Too easy to defend against teams who lack width.

Realise that it's harsh on Cummings but while he is top goalscorer for us, his goals per game ratio of 12 in 26 this season is nowhere near as clinical as Malonga's 11 in 15, El Alagui for me gives a different dimension in that he poses a real aerial threat and can hold the ball up upfront, while also having had a good goals per game ratio of 4 goals in 6 games before he ruptured his achilles. I rate Cummings and think he'll be a very important player for us both for the rest of this season and in the foreseeable future but feel that Malonga and El Alagui are currently better all round strikers and are a bit more clinical in front of goals. One thing's for sure there's no room for any of the strikeforce to have a dip in form if they want to stay in the starting 11.
Obviously both Cerny and Fyvie will have to prove themselves here first but if they are the same players they were at Hamilton and Aberdeen then I think they will both be first choice players for us

Couple of hard decisions for him too make regarding the team
Oxley is very well liked within the changing room and dropping him for no reason could unsettle the squad.
Fyvie is obviously a brilliant addition, but I can't see him playing Craig's role on the left as it wouldn't suit him. Would have to be Robertson who had been brilliant in that role
Strikers - drop the young top goal scorer in the league for Farid who has spent most the season injured?
For me the team would be
Oxley
Gray Hanlon Fontaine Stevenson
Fyvie
Robertson mcgeouch
Allan
Cummings malonga
And take it from there.
The options we now have in
Farid- proven goal scorer
Craig - goal scoring midfielder
Dje dja - full of pace and athleticism although not seen him much
Boyle - pace to burn and Young goal scorer
Stanton - creative young midfielder
Cerny - proven spl quality goalkeeper
Really is a change to what we have been used to of late
