Who do posters want to start our next game against Leicester DCL, Rondon or Dobbin?
10 Apr 2022 17:20:59
Rondon.
10 Apr 2022 17:35:06
Simple answer is whoever Frank picks I'll get behind them
If it was my decision I'd go with DCL. He will have had another week and a half of fitness training. Rondon hasn't been prolific for us. Dobbin I've not seen much of at all
There's also the option of playing Richy as CF but I think he plays better off the wing.

Dobbin all day.
10 Apr 2022 20:25:09
Out of the 3 you mention I’d like to see Dobbin given a go.
Not sure what’s going on with DCL but I’d drop him as currently adds very little to the team.
Rondon would probably be a good shout up against the physicality of evans and soyuncu.
However think the speed of Dobbin would give the Leicester defence something to think about and would also get our fans even more up for it seeing one of our youngsters given a chance.
10 Apr 2022 20:45:30
As bw says who ever Frank picks I will go with that.
10 Apr 2022 21:06:03
I would like to see dobbin giving a chance dcl looks lacking in match fitness and a tree does more movement than rondon but that's my view like.
10 Apr 2022 21:22:40
DCL needs to get in the box and shoulders of back line and if it is Dobbin or Rondon they should do the same. We do not have the quality of that lot or City to play without a striker. Flank men do the chasing, DCL, Dobbin, Rondon stay in defenders faces. As to team selection up to Lampard but we do need a disciplined role like Delph had Saturday home and away.
10 Apr 2022 21:43:42
DCL isn't firing but he's not going to be ousted by Rondonunless he loses a limb. And he's still useful helping out our woeful ability to deal with corners, of which we face a great deal. Dobbin my understanding is that he's not a natural goal scorer and is considered more a natural 10 so surely the devil's advocate question should be if we start Gordon and Grey and have Rikky through the middle or keep either Grey or Gordon on the bench with DCL up top?
10 Apr 2022 22:28:54
Rondon, forget DCL for this season.
11 Apr 2022 00:11:38
DCL always. Rondon not good enough. Dobbin to small to be a main striker, and we have already seen its not the best position for Richy.
11 Apr 2022 07:32:34
We will all go with who Frank picks as he makes the decisions. The question was who we would go with. I picked Rondon over DCL and Dobin as he does put the effort in more than DCL at the moment, and it's not the time being in a relegation battle to throw a youngster in as it could ruin him.
11 Apr 2022 07:36:02
I don't think Dobbin will get the chance, we're in a fight and I think Frank will use experience first and foremost. I'd like to say DLC but he doesn't look interested. His mind seems elsewhere. Delph who's been out for a long time looked fit enough to play yet Dom had played a few games now and still doesn't look anywhere near his best!
11 Apr 2022 08:35:05
DCL don't change a winning team.
11 Apr 2022 08:54:16
Rondon has proved time and time again in the PL this season, that he is past it full stop.
'If' Dobbin is chomping at the bit and FL sees that well. . .
11 Apr 2022 09:16:22
Lol I just realised I subliminally punned it, as in echoes of 'Sunnybrook farm' I am afraid ? sorry Lewis ?.

DCL needs games this unfortunately for us and him is him doing a preseason and getting sharpness back, I also fear he is conscious of the fact that we and him need him fit and available and can’t afford to lose him again, because he’s a threat and premier league defenders know that they can’t give him room and will double up on him, which gives Richie and Anthony space. DCL also needs a goal to boost his confidence as it seems Richie is now number 1 penalty taker. Anyway blue till I die UTFT COYB.

If Calvert-Lewin needs games, then why not start with Rondon, let him harass the defenders, hopefully couple of yellow cards for Leicester, then when Calvert-Lewin comes on, the pace of the game will have steadied down and one or two might be walking a tight rope and not be as eager to risk a challange on Calvert-Lewin.
That’s the way I would play it, but I am not Frank.
12 Apr 2022 05:46:07
DCL because if we can get him back to near his best, we will stay up.
Dobbin should be used as an impact sub but should definitely get on the pitch more as even his energy late in a game that's close would be a lift.
Rondon only if absolutely no other choice for me.
