I think we need something of a re-set in the striker department. Adams I’d keep, but I think we should really be concentrating on getting in younger players. Bowie and Ure for Dykes, Hirst and Stewart. Maybe one of the Wilsons will step forward for the other spot. Alternatively, although not a young player, I think Burke can give us something different for 3 or 4 years but probably playing off a striker. I’m not sure about Shankland. I suppose he could be useful off the bench in qualifying games for the Nations League but the clock is very much ticking given his body shape. Although, quite young, I’m not really sold on Conway. If he was a really good striker I don’t think he would be filling in on the left side for club and country.
So out with much of the old guard to give the younger players the experience they will need if they are to be effective further down the line, even if there’s an argument they won’t be as good as what they’re replacing in the short term.
