Stokes and Cummings doesn't work!!!! It obvious

**GreenArmyyy!** · 13-03-2016 05:00 PM

They have never, ever worked as a partnership. Cummings was absolutely dreadful today.

Go together like chalk and cheese. Cummings has played well most of the season until they've started playing together. Two good players doesn't automatically make a good partnership.

Neither did Cummings and Malonga, to begin with.

Though, I'd agree that it might not have been the best time of the season to try to create a new partnership up front.

Cummings should have been off with about 20 to go, just wasnt good enough in the 2nd half

It's hard to disagree with this.
I really do hope that the penny has dropped for Alan Stubbs.

S8tting on the bus on my tod and cant help but this this. Along with other mistakes we made today, , to say im gutted is an understatement. Just want to get home and go to sleep

The one that got away. We played right into their hands from the 65th minute onwards. Two diabolical goals to concede

Definitely not the sum of their parts. Both very talented but don't seem to mesh too well.
I felt sorry for Cummings on Sunday. He took a shot when a pass was available and I think he got an ear full from Stokes. 2 minutes later he passes to Stokes and it doesnt come off when he probably should have taken the shot, he just looked so disheartened.
I'd maybe give it one or two more chances before trying something else. It's obviously a difficult choice for Stubbs as to who should be benched.

Results are all that matter at this point. Continuing to lose important games because Stubbs doesn't have the balls to make the tough decisions or figure out our scoring problems will cost him his big move. Stubbs has a wealth of options to choose from - far more than most other managers - so no excuses for not solving the problem.

Maybe Stokes at the tip of the diamond.

I would love that to happen but I just can't see it. I think Stokes and Cummings playing together is making each of them ineffective. Stokes in particular has been forced to drop deep or go wide to pick up the ball, which is exactly where we don't want him to be.

The problem is apart from Henderson, who supplies the amunition and sets up chances? Gray and Stevenson will run up and down the flank all day but their crossing is woeful.
