We need a mobile player just off Heggebo. Maybe one of the younger lads like Jimoh or Mustapha, or Wallace to do the running.
From the brief glimpses we have seen of him, I think Mustapha might be worth a shout and we already pretty much know what Wallace and Jimoh-Aloba can and can't offer and, besides, these two are probably better played wide.

Really difficult to judge from just being able to listen to the game Matt, but whilst I get a similar impression of Dike, I also thought Price sounded guilty of the same at times. Certainly, he seems to make the runs but his end product also remains poor.

As for Heggabo, he is a battler and can hold the ball up but he doesn't always seem to help himself in terms of getting himself into better positions to receive the ball when we are able to break, something a number 9 should surely always be wanting to do. I certainly accept that service to him has generally been poor but just think he could do more himself. That said, he is never going to do much as a lone striker so totally agree with you that he needs a more mobile player playing off his shoulder. That hasn't worked so well with either Grant or Price in the past and Dike doesn't seem to be the answer either so time to try Mustapha perhaps?
