He did start as a right winger that night, I don't think we've started him too often as a striker, not that i think he's good enough but in the 4 years he's been here he's hardly been given a chance | ![](/images/avatars/1922.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) | Login to get fewer ads
With all this talk of strikers... on 14:49 - Apr 10 with 2638 views | rbee | Many have said that Kelman is the best finisher during training but he has yet to replicate that on a matchday for us. We certainly don't always play our strikers in their best positions and the service that they receive is generally poor. Perhaps that is because we are intent on either hoofing the ball up top or trying to play through Chair and Willock or Smyth much of the time. On the other side of the argument you could say that good strikers find a way to score goals as Austin, Gray and Martin proved in recent years. It's certainly a conundrum for us and something for Marti & Co to work on next season. | ![](/images/avatars/19131.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

I think that stems from a one time off the cuff remark by Warburton that seems have become QPR scripture. It's obviously not true because if it were, he'd be in the side scoring goals. | ![](/images/avatars/3082.gif) |

No surely not.....another bundle gone if we did give him another contract. Not sure he is even a sellable player. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |
With all this talk of strikers... on 17:51 - Apr 10 with 2154 views | LazyFan | Kelman was bought as they saw he could pass quite well in the final third. The problem is, he's not fast enough to get into those positions often, and he does not play the target man to hold things up. The Dozy problem, as not in the right places at the correct times often enough. And not realising it to sort it out or not wanting too. The upside is, that he is always fit and available, unlike Richards. He may be able to become a midfielder, but I doubt he can do it as a forward. | ![](/images/avatars/1596.gif) |

Another no hoper on 4 years. You’ve got to wonder about that regime. Can see why the club have gone schtoom on contracts though! | ![](/images/avatars/6823.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

All of our recognized centre forwards combined, Armstrong, Dykes, Frey, haven't got it double digits BETWEEN THEM. In 79 appearances. Not sure we should be writing any options off at this point in time. |
The alternative view is that we should be writing off all of them and starting again in the summer. Not sure I'd go that far but I'd certainly be well along that path. Let's also not forget that the one absolute quality forward we have is Ilias Chair and none of us can be exactly certain where he'll be next season. | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |
