    Probably. Dack drops really deep at times so I can't see why not

    Both clever and inventive players ...

    ... but we'd need a smart striker who can anticipate situations quickly.

    Is this your way of saying what a good point that was.

    Was just thinking about that - interlinking just behind LND, Clarke and Roberts supporting from the wings.

    Neil and Ekwah at CDM/CM. Cirkin, Ballard, Hume and 09 at the back (and hope the ref can't count)

    Funny. Lyndon has just liked my tweet too. Out of character for him.

    Decent result that. Shocked how many empty seats in our section.

    That's the key to it all for me, Hemir may be that striker given time, but he's not ready yet

    Still think pritchard is best coming off the bench when the game is open n theres space for him to take advantage

    Id rather we kept him like - id sell embleton as cant see the point in having embleton pritchard dack rigg bellingham who can all play the no10 role

    Anyway let’s not focus this thread on what we don’t have and focus on what we do. Brilliant goalkeeping from Patto and a wonderful performance by both centre backs got us a hugely valuable point.

    Let’s see where the squad is in 4-5 days. There’s no point pointing out what we need because it’s pretty clear the club know already.

    Probably only in a 3421 formation, have them both in behind the striker. They would work well with stewart up top as he can stretch the game n it would give them pockets of space

    Deals are lining up, from what I've been told, it's a case of which agent blinks first.

    Rather Dack was off the bench. Prichard is the better player

    Worried his ‘knock’ means he’s away
