Rotation is the key here. Probably start with Leo and bring on Glen with 20 to go and vice versa. I don't think either could stand 90mins week in week out in the Premier league at the twilight of their careers to be fair.

Bang on.

Maybe Chris thinks that Leo will give a better return than Glenn? :shrug:

Murray doesn't need to charge around upfront in every direction like a headless chicken.

Just needs to be where the ball is in and around the penalty spot.

There's always a demand for forwards like him.

The thinking man's striker.

Absolute nonsense.

Murrays game has never been about pace, but that doesn't make him "slow and lazy". He has a good touch, can hold the ball up, uses the ball intelligently and has an innate strikers instinct in the box to be in the right place at the right time. He may not score worldies, but he has always had that composure and guile in front of goal - its why he has been a Premier League striker for most of the last 6-7 years. I've always considered him to be a poor mans Teddy Sheringham, and I don't mean that in a disparaging way.

Ulloa will give us more strength and power going forward, and at 31 he has a lot less miles on the clock. But Murray still has PLENTY to offer this team, and will still (I hope) play a big part in keeping us up this year.
Well said. 23 goals last season and 7 this, will confirm that.

He is slow and lazy. Can't win the ball in the air, can't win the ball on the ground. He can't turn, he can't outplay defenders.

The ONLY thing he has going for him is that, given enough space, he can bundle a ball over the line. I can only assume that he holds a presence in the dressing room that boosts the rest of the team and means CH keeps playing him.

My grandmother would be a good replacement and she's been dead for 10 years!

Wow. Just wow

So we can put you down as 'undecided' ?

We are the 2nd lowest scorers in the league.

Glenn hopefully will become squad player , not first choice

Glenn isnt the reason we are the 2nd lowest scorers though, a lack of goals from other areas of the team is the main reason for that. Glenn l feel, is more than doing his bit.

With all the, (understandable), excitement about Leo's secong coming, I hope people don't look upon him as a like for like replacement for Glenn Murray.

In my opinion Glenn is every bit as good as his rival, is a good team player nowadays, can defend just as well as attack, and weighs in with his share of goals. Rotate the two of them l say.

This. I personally think Muz is a better all round player - certainly more mobile than Leo but lets see how it pans out - fingers crossed

Glenn isn't the one that should be worrying about his position here imo, that is on Hemed's shoulders
