Although a lot is being said about signing defenders or midfield players, our goalscoring record isn't exactly great. We have Waghorn, Garner, Miller and Dodoo but still don't score many goals. Surely goalscoring has to also be a priority. I still say bring young Hardie back into the fold and play him with Garner up front in a 4-4-2 format. I'd love Jota to sign and a midfield with Jota, Rossiter, Holt and Windass sounds exciting!

Doiger, scoring goals is the main priority but Hardie has only managed 3 in 15 this season with a team in a lower division so I don't see how he will be the difference?

Waghorn, who hasn't featured 12 times has scored 3 and a further 7 in 5 league cup appearances.

Your midfield selection looks good though. 👍.

Fair point Rafbob about Hardie but again he is playing with players who are, with all respect, of a lower grade than Premier League players so will create fewer chances. As for Waggy, yes I hope his return with 2 goals last week will see him return to the goalscoring form of last season.

Don't get me wrong, I hope the lad does well on loan and returns to us closer to the finished product but he should surely have a few more even with the standard of service?

Waghorn looked promising in that last game, hopefully he can come on to some long running form and continue from that performance.

Our defence always gets mentioned we'll look at the league stats we have conceded 18 goals in 18 game second fewest in league we had a terrible start to season at the back 5 of those goals were in one game against Celtic so our defence has started to play a lot better but if you look at our scoring record we have scored 22 goals fewer than Celtic and they have a game in hand so you don't have to be a rocket scientist to see where our problems are we need to start taking our chances need more goals from midfield but all in all we just need more goals.

Point is most fans would have loved to have seen hardie get a proper chance, particularly last season in championship- as I said at time if not then, when?
