    Bit concerned how we are going to manage, this could define our season. Would be a massive shame to fall short due to injuries and call ups.

    We'll have to go 4-5-1. Not too fussed as we looked better against Fleetwood playing that formation.

    Would be absolutely gutted for him if he misses the JPT Final.

    Got to say this news has changed my mind regarding loaning an extra forward. If something can be done this week then lets do it. To only have one fit striker going into crucial games is very risky. God forbid Winnall gets a knock as well, to have no cover at all would be disastrous for a play off push. I would always advocate giving Tuton or Khan a go, but to have to rely on them would be a risk. I know Fletcher is back after the internationals but we are very thin on the ground.

    Ivan Toney for me. He'd fit in nicely and we have a number of options for the wide positions that Ryan Kent would most likely be suited to.

    Yes I don't have a problem with giving tuton or harry white their chance either. Look at George williams he has taken his and not let us down.

    If we are going to bring in a loan player I'd be happy with Toney.

    You can't pick Tuton Khan White or anyone else untried at the club unless either you know something we don't or you do not hold this season's push for promotion absolutely essential.

    Winnall on one of his goal streaks, which often take some time to ignite once he's been out, would be comforting. There is insufficient comfort there at the moment.

    So pushing the boat out and securing someone who really could make a difference might well keep us in the play offs.

    We can try any of them. It's OK to give kids who are untried their professional debuts from other clubs, so it should be alright to do that with our own players.
