Coventry City manager Steven Pressley has said that his lack of strikers is a challenge rather than a crisis.
The City boss is without Leon Clarke, Callum Wilson and Chris Dagnall for this afternoon's FA Cup Second Round tie at Hartlepool United.
"There will always be problems that crop up in football and all four potential strikers are missing and that’s a challenge because we have to find a way to win the game,” said Pressley to the Coventry Telegraph's Andy Turner.
“I would use the word challenge rather than crisis. We’ll look at re-shaping the side slightly, keeping very much the same principles but slightly changing our set-up.
“I could go with a lone striker and a variation in midfield; that’s an option. Prior to coming to Coventry I was very much a manager who played with a lone striker but I certainly changed my thoughts this season and it has been very productive in terms of the goals we’ve created and scored.
“But in a situation with no strikers and not a great depth of player with the amount we’re missing we’re going to have to change things.
“Franck comes into my thoughts in that department. He played there a number of times in the pre-sesason in a position I thought he could play this year, but with a second striker up there with him because Franck is more of a shadow No.9 than a main No.9.
“But needs must at the moment and we need to look at ways we can play him up there and adopt a system to allow us to continue to create opportunities."
