Hirst, Delap and a 3rd experienced loanee as our 3 striker options?? (n/t) on 21:29 - Jul 7 with 1357 views | burnbudgiesburn | Gonna be difficult to get someone to come in and be 3rd striker. People seem keen to move Al Hamadi on loan for experience but I'm wondering if he'll play that role as a bit of a chaos option. |  | |  |

The 3rd experienced higher profile striker may end up being the first choice |  |

Hirst, Delap and a 3rd experienced loanee as our 3 striker options?? (n/t) on 22:45 - Jul 7 with 1016 views | rkc123 | The striker position is really interesting for us I think, it is obviously important, but I think when we are really functioning well the 3 behind the striker are likely to outscore the striker themselves (perhaps not all 3 individually, but certainly as a group I would expect them to well outscore the striker). Hirst was pretty much perfect for it at championship level, it will be interesting to see how he steps up. I know we have been linked with a big offer for Ioannidis, but I wouldn't be surprised if that isn't actually a position we spend really big money on, just perhaps bring in someone with a bit of experience who will work hard in that role and rotate with Hirst. I think it is probably more important we bring in a real high quality CM, and that will likely take a good chunk of cash. |  | |  |

Also, we may change our style a bit this season. We aren't going to have to invite the press, and we are going to have less possession and more defending to do. Can definitely see us becoming an exciting counter attacking team. |  | |  |
