And that could mean unleashing Andy Carroll on Huddersfield where local newspapers have been making it clear that the Terriers could be unfortunate in meeting the big fella.
Word from the training ground is the Irons will adopt a 4-4-2 formation with probably Sakho or Carroll supporting Hernandez up front.
The two formerly injured hitmen give Slav two entirely different ways of playing and for the fist game his preferred counter attacking approach is likely to be abandoned as the team go for it.
Things are set to change on Monday night and a team, formation and approach of which the fans will approve is likely to be in place.
Interesting times!
