Rodger's strike dilemma
24 Oct 2006 - 12:31:01
Grimsby Town boss Graham Rodger has admitted that he may be forced to push youngster Peter Bore into a more advanced role due to injury problems.
The Mariners are currently without strikers Gary Cohen, Isaiah Rankin and Michael Reddy and Bore, more usually a wide midfielder, may be pressed into an emergency role up front.
Rodger told the Evening Telegraph: "I think Peter Bore is our only option for pace up front at the moment.
"Peter's young and enthusiastic, but you cannot expect him to produce the goods every week on his own.
"He was a striker when he first came to the club and through the youth system and so it is an option we have looked at."
Bore has scored four goals this season, but has failed to find the net in his last nine outings.
