1. Best upfront trio in the league

Seriously, is there a better upfront trio in the Sky Bet Championship than Gary Hooper, Steven Fletcher and Fernando Forestieri?

I think not. Without question, many teams in the league have talented individuals who can win a game, Dwight Gayle of Newcastle United or Tammy Abraham at Bristol City are the first names that spring to mind.

However, I am also sure that 99 per cent of teams in the league would give up half their stadium for a strike force as talented as the one at Hillsborough.

For me, each player is still to hit fifth gear and all have a lot more to offer this season.

Hooper, Fletcher and Forestieri can not be divided as they all share a handful of goals this term, and in my opinion, 50 goals minimum by the end of the campaign has to be a realistic target for these three alone.
