ROB Scott admits in today's Grimsby Telegraph that picking the current Mariners starting line-up is becoming a real headache.

Such is the strength in depth of Grimsby Town's attacking options that the joint bosses are having to leave out players "who have done extremely well for us this season.

"The return of Ross Hannah last month, and arrival of Lenell John-Lewis gives the Mariners seven fit strikers to choose from.

Andy Cook has been in sensational form, with four goals in his last four games, while on-loan Richard Brodie partnered him last weekend and scored his first Town goal.

And, it won't get any easier for Scott and co-manager Paul Hurst – Liam Hearn is due back later this month!

It's not a bad headache to have, though, is it?So, who would you choose to start up front against AFC Telford tomorrow afternoon?

Which partnership will down the Bucks?

Could a three-pronged attack be the answer?

    “Can anyone remember what contracts we have got the strikers under? Or do you know where I can go to find out for myself. Thanks in advance. Cook and Hannah for me with Brodes playing the last half an hour.”

    “For me it would be Cook & Hannah. Brodie's arrival has been a bit tough on Ross and, apart from last week, (or the end of the first half onwards at least) Brodie has not really shown an awful lot.

    I do back Brodes to improve, but Hannah deserves his chance for what he has achieved for us so far this season.

    One thing is for certain - the thought of a fully fit Liam Hearn playing along side Andy Cook (probably next season) makes me giddy.”

    “I would go for Hannah and Cook with Brodie on the bench to come on. Brodie was great last game but I dont see why we would not be playing Hannah. Hannah for me is the best fit forward we have.

    “Play Cook and Hannah first half then Brodie and Shop second half? Southwell on the bench. Competition and nobody's nose out of joint. Rack up a cricket score against Telford.”

    “Why would we change systems to 3 up front when we are top of the league and clear by 3 points playing 4-4-2

    I feel that the gaffers should start with Cook and Brodie tomorrow. Hannah is such a good finisher and Cook has been awesome this season. I feel in games were we are coming up against a physical team we should be playing Nivvo and Brodie and when we come up against a passy team we should play thano and Hannah
