Once again Beto absolutely ineffective first half and as for Barry did he actually touch the ball in the second half both need to go into the under 21s for as long as possible and Ndiaye move to the front we are losing points hand over fist just change it even if Braiden Graham some playing time can't carry on with the 2 Bs itc costing us big time.

Struggle to see how Barry gets criticism last night, came on, got no service and was still more effective than Beto.
As for starting Graham, he’s a kid who is not ready for the premier league, he will be ruined if he starts games. But this is a constant with our fans again, “throw the kids in! ”, heard it with Cannon, Simms, McAleny, Duffus, Henen and Long. In the end none of them were or are premier league quality or ever will be.

Funny that a certain Rooney started at 16 did it ruin him, of course it bloody didn’t what a load of codswallop mate.

Like it or not Beto and Barry are our first choice strikers. Barry is a work in progress, very young new league/ country etc. you don't get to be a French U21 striker by being rubbish.
That said they are not scoring. Ndiaye as a different 9 option is a decent option. Dibbling and Alcaraz can come in.
I'd even consider Alcaraz up top to see how he does.
Rb, if Rohl can get fit i'd move Garner there.

Agree Bunkbeds they are what we have but we can change it with Ndiaye Dibling or Alcaraz as you say mate put Barry in the under 21s for a bit.

So your example is a freak talent who is arguably the greatest English player of all time? So your 1 example beats all the countless others? Okay.
Louis Saha was a great French striker we signed. Thierno Barry is French, therefore he will be great too. Thank you.

Not at all freak, also that young lad 17 yr old didn’t he score Liverpools winner a couple of weeks ago oh yes another freak, not having that it’s just rubbish thankyou.

Macheda scored a winner at 17 for Man United, he went on to be a league 1 player at best.
Not all teenage players are the same, both in terms of quality and maturity.
So your solutions to our striker problems have been:
A 17 year old who has never played professional football at any decent level and Dan James, a winger notorious for having no end product.
Genius.

Not at all one of many on here that have been mentioned just saying some make it and a lot don’t.

Braiden’s also best in the number 10 roll. Throwing him up front would be a lot of pressure for the young lad, with that being said I still see him being involved with the first team before the season’s out. He’s a gifted player. I think a big difference between him and Rooney is that Wayne was built like a 30 year old at that age where as Braiden’s fairly lightweight.
Can’t wait to see more of the kid though, it won’t be long.
Beto’s had a couple of bad games (including the last) but is clearly the best we have, at least till January anyway.
We all knew we needed a right back and a striker in the summer but we all also knew everything wasn’t going to be done in one window. We done a lot of business and we are better than last season.
I’d rather be watching this team than last seasons.
3 points on Sunday and don’t settle for anything less
