Grabban v. Jerome

[Surgeryman]

Fair enough.

But my gut feeling is that Alex Neil sees that Grabban gives you more quality on the ball than Jerome does.

You are probably right there. AN obviously likes him and maybe a run in the side that builds confidence may develop Grabban.

It is a nice problem for the manager. Which striker do I drop. I like Jerome but Grabban has obviously played well the last two games. That said, they were against two poor sides.

I'm glad I'm only picking the team on here with absolutely no consequences.

I think AN will play it safe with Jerome's tight hamstring and therefore start Grabban and Hooper today. The real question is whether it'll be Tettey or Wes in midfield. I'd go for Tettey myself.

AN has agreed with that, choosing Tettey today:

Ruddy; Whittaker, Martin ©, Bassong, Olsson; Redmond, Tettey, Howson, Johnson; Hooper, Grabban

Subs: Rudd, Cuellar, Jerome, Andreu, Hoolahan, Garrido, Josh Murphy.

Get in Bradley! 1-0!

 

[It's Character Forming]

It's great to have Grabban back scoring - he probably does have a more complete game but it was a concern for me that he wasn't getting goals.

I'd prefer to have Grabban, Hooper and Jerome as our strikers than RVW, Hooper and Elmander.  I know the standard of the defenders isn't as good but I just think Grabban and Jerome are better for their overall contribution to the team than RVW and Elmander.
