Surely it is time for Vernon to be dropped. He works hard but his job is to score goals and is failing miserably at that.
How about starting, as we finished yesterday, with Hayes Fraser, McGinn and Smith on. Set up with Smith through the middle and McGinn just behind but all three could have the freedom to swap around.
Gets us playing to our strengths rather than hoofing the ball up to Vernon. Also means we aren't looking to runs from our super slow mo midfield either.
