RW Nathaniel Mendez-LaingAnd and/or (ideally both) a target man or poacher up top! (Or Fletcher to come back from injury would do).
That’s my Christmas list done, hopefully pick it up in the January sales.

I’ll crack open a few cans and get back to my scouting job. I hear there’s a young lad from Sheffield currently working In a brewery that's worth looking at at.Balotelli has signed for a Serie B club until the end of the season so that's a no go.
Perhaps you could put a word in for us Newy with Jamie Bell, I reckon he could do a job for us dicky dancing down the flanks
I think Fletcher is a big miss at the moment. He's our only striker who moves intelligently in the final third and links up well with the midfield and wingers.
Until his return I'd be tempted to go with two up top.
He wasn't banging the goals in. HIs technique was there but he needed a run of games and a bit of confidence. (similar to Patrick Bamford.. although I think Fletcher is a superior play to Bamford)At long last Fletcher is beginning to get some credit. It has been shameful the way he was hammered on this board and at games when he is by far the bets forward we have had for a few years. Just playing with a load of donkeys!
Roberts - number 10Fletcher was poor before the injury , and is out of contract at the end of the season , so if he is fit by January he will be for sale .
I don't see the clamour for wingers , we have players who should be able to cross a ball , in Roberts , Spence , Tav , Folarin , Coulson and Johnson .
They need to practice , and practice again and again , bloody heck , it's not hard .
What we do need is natural goalscorers / poachers , Britt was one , Fletcher and Akpom are not .
Nisbet , Shankland , come to mind , or loan Gayle of the skunks .
