Still without a Centre Forward

I think some people need to stop getting so hung up on semantics. Saying Russell isn't a centre forward is just shorthand for saying that he isn't capable of playing as a lone striker with two out and out wingers either side of him. It's not a criticism, just an admission that his talents are better used elsewhere on the pitch.

I think Russell has tried hard to make the position work and did a really good job against Brum, but he obviously doesn't like playing with his back to goal, he's weak in the air and is too honest. He's had lumps kicked out of him in the last few games and got short shrift from the refs. Martin buys so many free kicks and plenty that he doesn't deserve.
