In all seriousness, now we have cover for his defensive position plus wide players on either side in Fellows and Johnstone who can put crosses into the box, why not experiment with this as an option? Ajayi has the height and didn't he start off as a striker?
Nobody's mentioned Grant, not ideal but IMO could do a job if needed we need to get goals from Fellows, Johnstone and either Swift or Diangana who ever plays in the number 10 role, we also need to get more goals from set pieces.
Been surprisingly (but pleasantly!) impressed with Grant so far and whilst no natural CF, if he continues in this vein I think he will get us some goals this season. Strikes me as very much a confidence player though. Looking forward to seeing how Carlos might incorporate Johnstone, Maja, Fellows and Grant leading the line or whether he will chose to rotate players more.
Apparently Dike is also expected to be back in full training next month so it will be interesting to see how he is. Given his incredibly unlucky injury history he's shown great attitude in working towards his recovery so hope it pays off- for both him and us!
