Is he good enough? I get that he's had pretty pathetic service and is normally pretty isolated, but he's missed a few in the last few weeks that were pretty much tap ins.
I don't think we should be using a visa spot for a forward that doesn't score a lot.
Discuss.
He's pretty solid holding the ball with his back to goal. Needs someone like griff running off him.
At this point we've not got a hope of making the top 6 so may as well try out some new stuff.
Since he's been here he hasn't really seemed like much of a striker, I understand that's because of mostly shit service but he doesn't seem like much of a goal-scoring machine and his style of play seems more suited for more pacy and athletic guys running off of him while he holds up play
At this point, I'd say start Radivan and play Montano in behind and see how that goes
Under a different gaffa I reckon he would monster it next season but as it stands I can't see stubbins provided a platform for monty, or any striker for that matter, to succeed.

HOW GOOD WAS THIS BLOKE TONIGHT.
****ing beast. Bloke with the right coaching and some confidence will be a success in this league. Shame we will most likely never see it
I'm a bit torn on monty. Thought he has been very unlucky not to score quite a few more(hit the posts numerous times).
Very effective at holding the ball up and linking with players, just haven't seen the 'end product' that we desperately need.

His finishing is awful though
