All I would say is that, with a fit Jordan Graham, we'd have a high class supplier of crosses and no-one to nut 'em in.

This is by no means a permanent answer but something worth trying at least to the nextwindow.The consensus of opinion on here is that we are definitely missing a front man. My suggestion is Beckles. Why him? He’s good in the air,can shield a ball and can pick a pass. If you played him with either Dan A or Kelman in a front two that could work or Dan A,Becks and Kelman/Graham as a front three? I know it’s radical but imo worth a try if not only in cup comp. Yes you would loose him from the back but if and when Happe returns 💁‍♀️ I really don’t think we have that many options if truth is known.
Defenders who did very well when position changed to play up front. Vic Halom, Malcolm McDonald and Fred Pickering. Remember Mick Jones Leyton Orient right back who In April 1967 played up front due to a shortage of strikers and scored an excellent hat trick against Doncaster Rovers. Used to be a regular tactic years ago, especially if behind and getting near the end of the game, stick the centre half up top and start slinging the crosses in ! Remember Leeds sticking big Jack up top when and if needed !

I’d love it if MB was a Richie Wellens alias using the board to slag off the team to undermine Ling and get more money out of the board

We may have a good crosser in Graham and no one to get on the end of them why is that because I think that our best forward is playing in midfield and not upfront kerman is not the answer sorry

Maybe Kelman is the answer?
