96 career appearances as Center Forward ? Only 80 played wide on a wing.

No, he is a striker who can play out wide...

I would put Knockaert instead of March as I think March should start due to Knocky having a poor game on Saturday.

Read the programme from the 'ammers match... he is a striker, who can play on the wing... straight from the horses mouth as it were...

No he didn't play badly IMHO...
Come on seriously. Clearly offers more than just a poan striker. Why wouldnt we play him wide if needed?

Thought Knocky showed glimpses of form but was still trying TOO hard (not letting it flow) and nothing went for him.

if fit, Locadia has to start imo......................Stoke scouts won't have seen him, so an unknown quantity ?

Very little to chose then, we shall see how CH uses him.

3 strikers? No chance
I agree, i thought Knocky worked hard, was direct, available, passed the ball quicker, and was up for it. He also stepped out of the pre-match line up (before handshakes) to encourage the Albion players to applaud back to the fans; he's a one man cheerleading team and still worth a start in most matches ...

Knockaert will be on the bench. March will start
I never take any of that too seriously

Er, it isn't about 'if needed'.
It was a response to a post stating we had 2 wingers on the pitch and 2 on the bench and therefore had no tactical change if required.
It is very relevant then to reply that he is a striker, not a winger, and by implication DOES therefore offer a tactical difference.

But not primarily a winger - much, much more of a striker than Knockaert, March, Izquierdo or Skalak - and absolutely offering a tactical change off the bench, which you suggested he didn't.

What ? CH saying who is going to be in the squad ? . Fair enough. But if he says it. This season he's nearly always meant it.
