Wonder who AS will start with up top?

It will 100% be Cullen if we don't sign someone before the weekend. I think Sheehan knows he's not suitable to be our main striker, but he trusts him to do a job. While he clearly doesn't rate Vipotnik and Wales is very raw.

I think Wales offers more than Cullen in that role raw or not. He has SPL experience and knows how to score and bring others into the game.

I can see where you're coming from and I'd certainly like to see Wales start against Plymouth, but I don't think Sheehan would agree with you. Someone else posted after Saturday that Cullen is the first line of our defence with his work rate and I think that's exactly how Sheehan sees it.

Can't see Watford coming here to play open expansive play from the back which will require a high press. Cullen was left isolated in the press first half v Blades
