Brown is actually looking better than Bailey at the moment..... 

but yes our best front 2 are 

Bailey + Brown. 

 

Jamal sadly has never really lived up to his success at Swansea playing left up front...... maybe he just doesn't fit into our "system"? 

So Blackburn had the SAS...we've got a B+B...we certainly fallen

System.

Brando17

Currently HP is playing a.... 

3-5-2

Jamals best performances in the past were wide left. He is not a centre forward part of a duo. He doesn't look as fit as he was at Swansea too. 

"Currently" with very limited player resources.... Bailey + Brown best 2 centre forward players. 

Brown has got to be the no 1 striker.  Mobile physical and gets in to dangerous positions.  Yes he should have scored from the header but he did mange to get i n to the position. Will only get better .

Looks well ahead of Cadz to me

He will be in January when he’s sold for a pittance.

At this stage I would say Brown looks more likely to be in demand

Ugbo would have buried that header at the end

Only thing Ugbo is burying is idea he's a championship striker

He wouldn’t even have been in the right place to try

His first touch is exceptional…..he doesn’t kill it dead under his feet, his first touch makes sure the ball is where he wants it for his next touch and he’s also got a very good technique of manoeuvring his body whilst applying that touch. You’d think this would be a given for a professional footballers but it’s not, many kill the ball dead (many don’t) and then have to turn and get the ball from under their feet.

And at the risk of sending @Thurcroft owl 72 in to a tailspin, he’s got a little bit of Cantana about him, the way he holds himself - and to clarify….a little bit, not more than!!

Agree with everything you are saying. 

Lowe has always been a winger, really. He'd be best in a front three out wide. 

Brown looks a real player. Physical, great first touch, nice passes, always busy. 

Bailey could definitely do with a goal. He's been really industrious and doing a bit of everything. Looked tired yesterday and I was surprised he wasn't subbed at half time. 

Really like brown - straight away when he came on he shows the signs you’d want , comes to the ball- clever , sharp. Should have scored at the end but not a massive issue 

Probably him and ubgo / bailey . Lowe isn’t a striker and huffs and puffs - very rarely does anything coming off for him 

bailey is a real trier but isn’t very composed - doesn’t seem to have much intelligence to his game . May sound harsh but not seeing top striker elements from him just yet .

I think Bailey looked really tired yesterday. There were a couple of times when the ball came towards him and he just couldn't sort his feet out. In an ideal scenario, I think another loan spell would do him some good.

I'll allow you your little bit of Cantona mate. I think there's more than a bit of lee Gregory.  Not as sexy I know but I do really like what I've seen.

He wasn't on long but he's by far our best option up front.

 

It's a pity that we can't find a way to play two up top as Brown and Cadamarteri would make a good pairing.

Cadamarteri has been absolutely appalling in the last three games. Brown looks so far ahead of him it’s untrue. Brown has to be rotated with Cadz until he finds some form with either Jamal or Ugbo just behind. It’s crap but it’s all we have.

Agreed. He’s miles off it
