    With Cauley out, who can we put in to replace him?

    Morris is the only striker who definitely starts. He's class. After him... Cole and Iseka? Both have shown a few glimpses of quality but haven't been consistent. Cole doesn't seem to have won over either manager yet so I bet Adeboyejo plays ahead of him. Oulare doesn't play football.

    Either we bring someone in or we bring someone back - I'm starting to think we'll see Luke Thomas, George Miller or big Paddy Schmidt recalled this month!

    I'd bring back Schmidt because he's the only one that looks like he's an ounce of talent.

    On Football Manager I employ a 3-4-1-2*. Works for me! Morris and Iseka up top with Remy in the hole?

    *I managed to get to the Prem within two seasons! Admittedly, in reality the chances of getting Gabriel Martinelli on loan from Arsenal, Tom Lawrence on a 3-year deal, and Danny Wellbeck as a backup striker, are slim.

    I'd play two up front Morris and Cole.

    Agreed. We aren't creating/scoring with 3 up top, we may as well add more weight to midfield and have a more traditional front two.

    Based on what? Last time we saw him he went missing for the majority of games but did come up with a few goals. 4 or 5 head coaches have seen him none have fancied him think hes scored 1 goal in 14 on loan at a mikey mouse club somewhere in austria in a league so poor they probably have to get cattle off pitch before they kick off.
    Our striking options are bad when were even thinking about schmidt. And we paid over 1million pound for him.

    I agree with you as i see Iseka at best an impact sub, when he starts he puts on his lead boots with zero effort off the ball & as for Victor I see much the same , he has had numerous starts & never fails to disappoint , another one whose movement seems non existent when he is facing 90 minutes but occasionally off the bench he looks menacing but how many chances do you give someone . I would bring Miller back & the lad who is at Forest Green who apparently has performed well for them

    Miller started his loan spell brilliantly, scoring 7 in 6 or 7 games I think. Not scored since though.

    I’d go 3-5-2, an extra man in central midfield to try and get more of the game under control.

    Front two of Morris and whoever else he fancies out of Iseka, Vic or Cole against whoever we play.

    And if Cole is the answer we might as well turn the lights off now.
