I think if NC is honest he regrets leaving himself so short. If we wanted a target man option should we not have kept a hold of Cook instead of throwing Sweeney up there? I would bet my bottom dollar he would have started a fair few games over the past couple of months if he stayed.
Even with Cook going surely there was a young lad in a Prem/Champ academy we could have picked up for cheap as a plan C.

Clough said he couldn't see the point in getting a young academy player from a prem club being paid to sit on the bench when we have Caine in the running.
Very unlucky with the injury but let's hope we don't get anymore,
The other major question has to be why we are having so many injuries throughout the squad.

It could be worse, it could be Sweeney on his Todd. Now that would be throat cutting stuff
