Sometimes a striker comes up against a centre back or even two who perhaps are too dominant for them and mark them out of the game - playing 3 strikers would allow for them to interchange - we used to see this with the likes of Wright, Speight, Pogba and other teams - it confuses the hell out of the opposition and allows strikers with different attributes to expose weaknesses in defenders. Playing one lone man becomes one dimensional - the players behind him need to do a lot of leg work to fully support him.
Perhaps next week 'if' we make the 2 - 3 further signings as indicated by Ricketts - things will look a bit better.
I would take Cheek in a heartbeat if we can land him.

I am hearing off some Portugeezers that there might be another cheeky signing next week.
