Zahore or Gounongbe - Who's better?

[Alfonso Perez]

I'm assuming Rickie will always be our first choice centre forward when all 3 are fit, and with Chamakh gone [who I was surprised about as I thought he's a decent player] surely we don't need 2 other big lumps.

At first Gounongbe seemed much the better footballer, better footballing brain, more decisive runs. In fact Zahore looked like a slower Eddie Johnson at first. However Zahore has improved so much so that it's worth asking the question.

Out of the two if one is to go this month, who to stay?

Warnock's comments & actions of late lead me to believe that Zohore is our number 1 striker at present with Lambert & Fred as back up. I don't think that Lambert is capable of playing 90 minutes in our current set up & I cannot see that changing any time soon. I fully expect Zohore to be rested on Sunday so in my view Lambert will start with some places on the bench up for grabs - maybe Rhys Healey will be given a chance along with Fred.
