Will Kane Be Able?
Aidy Boothroyd has an extra option for the game after completing the loan signing of 21-year-old Peterborough United midfielder Kane Ferdinand.
Boothroyd said: "I know the priority is to bring in another centre forward but if you can't get the one that you want and you have got to wait a little bit of time to get the one that you want then you have got to add goals in other ways."
