It's not about playing one up front

it's about playing to that striker's strengths, which we don't if it's Cam or Watkins, and it's about the wider attackers weighing in with goals.

This season our wide attackers have been, at various points, Murphy, Wes, Vrancic, Yanic. One league goal between them I think.

Holding midfielders also occasionally need to pop up with a goal like Dorrans did and Howson did when he played in the two in a 4-2-3-1 - one league goal between Reed, Tettey and Trybull?

The team just doesn't have goals in it.
