I'm pleased to see the manager coming out in an interview that I've read today saying that you've got to look beyond the fact that Bishop has scored three goals this season.
His work rate and his all-round play, the way he...
Yes, it's difficult, isn't it?
Because there's not really, in terms of who's available, there's not an obvious answer to that.
We have on occasions put Swift in there, but Swift has been done so well last couple of games further forward as the number 10, which is where you would say his natural position is.
You don't really want to move him back, even if you've got Chaplin to bring back at number 10 at some point.
I don't think Chaplin's going to be out for too much longer.
So you then ask yourself, is there someone else in the squad who perhaps normally plays in a different position?
Could you put Devlin in there, for example, next to Adams and bring in Williams at right-back?
Or could you even put Swanson in there and bring in Williams at left-back?
I think Swanson played in midfield in one of the away games at some point.
It didn't really work.
It's not to say it wouldn't work better the next time if it was tried again.
I mean, I think Pack will probably start at Millwall.
He might not last the 90 minutes, having played at Cheltenham the other night.
The thing with Pack is he always looks good.
He always looks composed and he adds a certain composure to the whole team's play.
But I should rightly say he's not getting any younger and you can't expect, especially with another game on Tuesday, next Tuesday, Wrexham, you can't expect him to play every minute of every game.
So it's a tricky one.
I don't think I've missed any of midfield options have I in terms of who's fit.
