The whole point of having one upfront is so you have extra midfielder to move ball around. We rarely do that so pointless. Much rather stick to 4 4 2. When we had Sack he played in midfield but whenever possible got forward so we had three attackers. Dempsey can do that roll or Graham.Robertson and Eccles can pass the ball around and Mackezie would be the holding midfield player. The defense er not idea.lol
We've got strikers that are built like defenders, and defenders that move quicker than our strikers. In the past, none come much bigger than Bayo, his primary job was not to score, but to get the ball to Cody and it worked to great effect. I would place our strikers in the role of Akinfenwa, which means we are lacking a real striker. As for players that don't run back to defend, you quite simply would not get on the pitch if I was the gaffer. What we've got is enough to keep us up, therefore the players job is to keep the supporters enticed until the end of the season. I'm not asking you to win anything, I'm merely saying we could do better.
I see Joey Barton has just become available....... ......Evans v Barton - give them some (boxing ) gloves - I'd gladly pay to see that !
Doubt we could ever come anywhere near his wages. His career defining moment was his one and only cap for England when he scored a goal that was already going over the line from Jermaine Defoe. Defoe weren't too pleased let's say.
I didn't know that to be honest. I thought he had stopped playing, but just went on to better things. Anyway, I blame gio for goading me.
Just pulling your leg mate. Think it was a combination of injury and Lockdown 1 was when he could run again and by the time of was over, he probably wouldn't ever get a club.
So Eccles has been recalled by Coventry. As I said he ad generally done well expect him to play some games in championship now. Will there be any others going back so we can bring in other loanies
Robertson also recalled by Celtic as they have depleted squad. Now Drysdale gone back. Still not sure if Coyle and Medley be here either as both not played much recently
