    What to do with Sess!

    Would putting him on the right wing work with a midfield like this?

    Sess.....Larsson.....Vaughan.....McClean (or Richardson or new L/W'er)

    Swap Vaughan with Colback/Catts or Meyler for a more defensive midfield.

    Keep using 2 x strikers

    The right could have Bardsley and Sess and the left Richardson and McClean with Brown and Bramble defending.

    It would look like this:

    Bardsley...Bramble...Brown...Richardson
    Sess.......Larsson....Vaughan...McClean

    I ain't got a clue mate...

    That's a fairly attacking midfield, and looks good...

    But who's gonna get a grip of Barton?

    I read on an earlier post that Sess normally would play on the right wing, that's why I mentioned it.

    About Barton Commachio, maybe replacing Vaughan with a more defensive midfielder like Cattermole. Maybe adding Catts or Gardner to the midfield and having 1 up front. Both are options, but I think we would do better attacking QPR rather than trying to stop them playing.

    Against the top 5 ok, we can go 4-5-1 but otherwise, home and away I think we could do better using an attacking 4-4-2. If we do get a good striker in January all the better.

    On that note, Jordan Rhodes anyone?

    Your midfield had a canny look to it....Maybe it would be to much for QPR to handle, and not have to worry about Barton....

    It's the Sess thing....please can we just find a settled position for him, and let hi do his stuff..(where that is, iv'e no idea)..

    Jordan Rhodes? is that the young Huddersfield striker, people are raving about.

    The best I've seen of Sess so far has been on the left wing. I firmly believe that McClean will be used as an impact sub until he gets more experience.

    Sess on the left, Larsson on the right5, Colback & Vaughan in the middle.

    I prefer having Richardson in Midfield rather than at LB. Why not play 5 in midfield like this:

    .......Colback..Vaughan........
    Larson.....Richardson....Sess

    The best sides tend to play with 1 striker and 3 players joining the attack. McClean I think will be used as an impact sub. Were going to get injuries and suspensions, he will get his chance.

    Now then, lets get really complicated, Bardo may be out so we now have a left back problem and Richardson seems the only option, or, could it be the unlikly return of Kilgallon

    That looks like a strong midfield on paper, but how do we know if Larsson would be able to adapt playin in the middle?
    He is also the best crosser in our squad, so he needs to stay out wide in my opinion!!

    Id go with this line-up aswell long term. Unfortunatly due to our lack of firepower at the moment we're constantly having to play Sess in the hole!
    He is an out and out winger in my opinion, so hopefully we'll be able to stick with 4-4-2 soon!

    I think thats the strongest starting 11 we can play at the moment! Hopefully Campbell will be back soon, and i'd like to see Meyler and Gardner start pushing for Colback's spot. Vaughan is pretty much cementing his place in central midfield with recent performances.

    So is Bardsley deffo out then? And Wes Brown, although generally good has dropped three major bollocks now that have cost us really badly as all resulted in defeats.

    I like Rihardson in midfield but if Bardo is out I like the speed and overlaping of Richardson and Sess. If we can keep Bendy in the middle we have a chance

    Hate to say it but im not a Ricco fan! I still can't work out his best position and he does far to many stray passes for my liking!
    His pace is an asset at times though, and he's good to have in the squad due to his versatility!
