We don’t necessarily need a target man. In the halcyon years of Sharp/Keogh and Hooper/Hayes we didn’t often play with one.
Howe is more than capable of being a National League Sharp or Hooper if played in the correct position. Where we find a NL Keogh or Hayes is more of a problem. Beestin? Jones? Dare I say Smith? Or do we start scouting for one.
We landed Jacob Butterfield when we were in a much worse position than we are now. So there’s got to be a horse for the course out there somewhere.
