Also some Bradford team news courtesy of their local BBC reporter. Seems like Tyler Smith is a doubt up front, with Cook seemingly definitely out too.

As it happens, I live a 10 minute drive from where Bradford train, so I might go and have a nosey in the morning and see if anyone’s telling porkies.

Maybe reading into nothing, but sounded to me like Hurst is a bit frustrated with Khan's injury there...

Understandable too. A lot was made of his international call up but we pay his wages.

Maybe it's just a general frustration at losing a bunch of attacking players.

Vernam, Wilson and Khan all operate in that wide attacking role, leaving just Eisa as our fully fit option in that role, with Gnahoua available but perhaps not quite up to speed.

I wonder if Hurst would play Pyke in one of those roles, in the way he played Monkhouse wide to win headers? Pyke's played wing back at Shrewsbury so it's not unrealistic.

Clearly, he'd be better through the middle, but he's not gonna oust Rose, and you're not gonna put someone of Rose's quality out wide. It'd be a waste.

Monkhouse was always a winger though, it's not a case that Hurst moved him out there just for his height.  He definitely overdid that tactic mind.

Also not convinced Pyke's great in the air, certainly not enough to merit putting him out wide.  Gnahoua seems to be getting fitter and better every game, I'd say he's ahead of Pyke in terms of fitness and sharpness now.

I’m not sure I agree with that. If Khan and Wilson haven’t been joining in with training and Vernam has just had an op, they’re not suddenly gonna pop up.

We look very thin on attacking players right now. An injury to Rose or Eisa will really put us in the sh**, which, I suppose, underlines the disappointment of not bringing in at least one forward during the window, or a ‘free agent’ before now.

Wilson's more central, isn't he? Believe he was always played in a two up top at Sutton.

From what I've seen Pyke certainly ain't the answer. Lacking in forward players atm so even more surprising no one was bought in last week.

Could really come to shaft us in the coming weeks if we don't get people back ASAP.
