Agree that Drinan must be pushing for a start soon - nothing wrong with Kelman’s work rate, but Drinan offers work rate AND better hold up / link play.

Ruel is the best finisher at the club so either play him in the middle or don't play him.

But none of the forwards have had much created for them lately.
I think it's a choice, play Drinan or Kelman down the middle and get the energy and press but only a goal once every 5 games or so, or play Ruel and be more likely to see the net bulge.

I know which I prefer.
It's a no brainer . Keep Ruel central for the last few games .

Exactly, give him a run of games playing down the middle.

Yep, Ruel looked the part today playing the CF role . Kelman is probably a bit sharper, but Ruel is far better than Drinan and has genuine goal threat which I’m not sure the others do.
Kelman will probably be back up front on Monday but hopefully there will be a place for Ruel.
