The lack of a forward presence might need some lateral thinking.

I’ve long thought that Bartley is possibly a thought as a target man in these desperate circumstances.

Remember when Paul Warhurst went up front for Blackburn in the 90’s and I think Steve Elliot for Leicester in the late 90’s and early 2000’s.

Jenny Burns for Blues in the 70’s, all of them were very effective.

I’d play 4-2-3-1 and risk lack of mobility for hold up and arial potential.
