Striker headache for Mowbray

29 November 2010 16:30
Middlesbrough manager Tony Mowbray has admitted he has selection dilemmas in his striking department. Mowbray has continued to swap his strike-partners around to accommodate different game-plans since arriving at the Riverside. But after Leroy Lita and Scott McDonald netted in the 2-2 draw with Hull, he is pondering whether to recall Kris Boyd or name an unchanged strike-force for the trip to Coventry. "Players like Leroy make their living out of playing on the shoulders of defenders. It was good to see both him and Scott on the scoresheet," Mowbray told the club's official website. "I've been talking to Leroy about his positional play, particularly when the opposition have the ball and we are defending. What I like about Leroy is that he looks you in the eye and listens. "Scott scored too, so he's happy. He worked very hard, as he does every week. If he can give us goals and hard work every game, then what more do you want from your strikers?"
