    We need one more striker for next season.

    We cant go on playing 50% of the games without a striker.

    We could always try Schar up front. I think he would terrorise defences. Also he has the build of a typical bustling striker.

    Was thinking exactly this - remembering when Paul Warhurst did a job up front for Sheffield Wednesday about three decades ago, suppose this would leave us short at centre halves but could move BDB in.

    Lol, first into midfield and now up front - people’ll be wanting him to play in goal soon!
    He scored from two corners yesterday and was up for those as a CB should be.
    Running the channels and holding the ball up are different propositions.
    Our set pieces are very good again - Trippier’s delivery yesterday was the main reason.

    Remember SuperMac? He was an established defender until Bobby Robson signed him for £1,000 then converted him to a striker.

    The rest is history. These changes, permanent or temporary do work. And as well as that, we are better off in defence than we are with recognised traditional strikers.

    Also talking about being in goal. Remember one Alan Shearer, from the famous Wallsend Boys' Club, came to the Toon for a trial, played up front and then went into goal for the majority of the game. Went to Southampton and spent eight important years there and at Blackburn before coming home.

    Rest is history for him as well.
