Vipotnik

[Swans Jack]

You have to start VP when he comes back. Idah imagine will come on around 60 minutes. Its nice to actually debate about who plays and who doesn't. With strikers and not the Cullen issue. Unless VP has a massive drop off, where does Cullen come into the game? He has been used as first choice striker or replacement for VP. Minutes might end up being limited for Cullen now. No complaints here.

Cullen doesn't get anywhere near starting upfront, ever, unless Sheehan has gone clinically insane or both Idah and Vipotnik are injured.

Vip has possession at the moment so you'd think that he'll start against Hull.

Totally agree. If he's not getting the ball he has to make things happen and be more aware and sharper

And how does he do that then?

Bump.

Experts, eh?

First of all, Sheehan obviously sees something in Cullen otherwise he’d have been out the door along with the others. (Same with Fulton.) So I don’t expect him to start in the lone striker role while Vipotnik is on a roll, but I would not be surprised to see him on the bench and getting game time. Which will give the Sheehan doubters something to talk about.

And secondly, he’ll probably get a brace in his next game. Reading back over this thread, Vipotnik was a complete dud who needed binning asap. Now he’s the Second Coming. I’m starting to think that Sheehan knows more about his players than I do. Who knew?
