Not sure they play the same position? Mattsson has always played CM/DM I think, whilst Schwartau usually plays wide midfield or has previously played centrally behind a striker? Given the time of year, would a "Christmas tree" 4-3-2-1 suit the squad? Kovacevic Stacey Medic Darling Schlupp Wright Topic McLean Schwartau Kvistgaarden Sargent? Not sure it's defensively solid, particularly given our back line, but I think with someone like Sargent we need to try and attack our way out of the relegation zone? Holding on to 0-0 draws and capitulating is soul destroying and a series of 1 and 0 points is never getting us safe. Play for 3 points and accept the occasional thrashing feels like a route out.
It's got to be worth a try. Hard to argue that it's not "defensively solid" too given it's an experienced back 4 plus 2x defensive mids. There's only 3 attacking players on the pitch plus Kenny.
