It's weird how people see the game so differently. I thought Shuker was poor as a striker, got the odd knock down from Mulls but did little with it bar a 1-2 when he was brought down. Spencer came on and was a real handful and actually gave their centre backs something to think about. He's tall, strong and has pace, pretty much everything Shuker didn't have.
First half i thought Shuker did ok when he was playing a bit deeper and picking the ball up in the midfield but not in the second half when he appeared to be playing more as a striker pushed up alongside Mullin, it just didn't work, chased about after the ball with little effect apart from the one he volleyed over the bar from Mullins knockdown.
Spencer on the other hand gave their defence something to think about in the time he was on the pitch, what i liked about him was that he was always trying to turn the defender which he managed to do on a couple of occasions.
Personally i think a Mullins and Spencer combination up front would be much more productive, also it would give the likes of Duffy, Stanley, Rundle ect. a better chance of finding a target from their crosses, and set pieces.
Man of the match for me would have been Duffy.
