I think it may be a minor blessing he'll be forced to bring Gibson in

Andy has been well off the pace lately (injury-related?) and it will allow Hanley to go back to RCB and give us some balance with a left-footed CB who we know is very capable of playing good vertical balls out of defence in this league.

He needs to solve the Sarge / Pukki conundrum and either play them both up front or drop one of them. Sarge doesn't contribute anywhere near enough in games out wide (even if he does score), and his presence wide also hampers Pukki because you're effectively losing a potential creator.

Out of the two, if Smith can't find a way to play to Pukki's strengths, then it'd be Sarge up top on his own for me.

Cantwell surely needs to be in the mix too.
