Agreed. I posted this some time ago. Because of Moore’s international involvement you had to keep either Ward or Patto as back up.

Ward missed the majority of the season anyway. Very injury prone. Has he featured for Huddersfield yet? Wouldnt surprise me if he's out. Hopefully moore isn't out for long and we bring an attacking player in.

No surprise there. Nice guy and a decent player but he's injured more times than he's not.

I would play Murphy up front playing off A big man

Give him a new lease of life , he looks like a strikers role could suit him more than the wing .

Loads of wingers have converted successfully in the past , Ollie Watkins the latest example

I'm with you on that.

Pace to burn a decent finish (every now and then) and doesn't like to track back. Chuck him up there.

We can't get a good cross in so he wouldn't have to head it.

That's a good idea, sadly, even though Harris has done 'ok', he doesn't seem to be particularly creative in changing things and trying different things.

Agree on both statements. Id play Murphy as a no.10. Does he offer less defensively than Tomlin when he plays? Play bacuna and ralls in the centre to do the dirty work then. Id even play ojo there but that means we lose his defensive work rate that Murphy doesn't provide on the wing. Ojo at 10 and whyte on the wing maybe?

No doubt Harris will play it safe though with pack bacuna and ralls. If we are not going to be more attacking id at least like to see vaulks come in for pack. Packs lack of pace means we can't press or counter with any sort of intensity.

What’s the problem? we only play one striker with one on the bench! Do you want a third to sit in the stand!
