Lovely finish by Spence for the first goal and Sam Bowen's wasn't bad either - all done without any one in the eleven that I would call a specialist striker.

We had two of them (Griffiths & Isaak Davies) when we played Palace at home and lost 1-0, it's a funny old game. I remember texting my lad when I turned up to the Watford DVP game a while back saying it was going to be a long night because we haven't got a striker and we ended up winning 7-1, Man City didn't have one for the first half of our cup game with them but they seemed to manage ok. If you've got a number of players making runs from midfield and good enough passers to pick them out (Reynolds ball to Evans for the 3rd against Palace is a great example) then it must be pretty hard to deal with.

I'm sure most traditional British centreback types would much prefer to have a striker to mark for ninety minutes rather than not knowing how and when they would have someone to look after.
