This is kind of exactly my point though, with 4 at the back hussey and christie/clarke can still get forward, especially with jennings and kilbane having more defensive roles and covering when they do get forward. But with three at the back we're now effectively playing with 5 defenders and only...

I hate the 3 at the back idea personally, it can often work out quite defensively. Look at Man City at the weekend, they essentially replaced an attacking player with an extra center back and wingbacks and it left them with fewer options higher up the pitch. Clarke Wood Malaga Hussey is a solid...

Well Said. I'm not saying he's the next Fergy, but we could do a LOT worse than Thorn - at the very least he's got an eye for a player. What self respecting manager in their right mind would come to us in our current predicament?

For the record I wasn't saying he was another Clive Platt, just that even though he's only 21 there's no chance of league 1 defenders bullying off the ball - he'll be doing the bullying. I think he's exactly the sort of player we need, and would complement Cody perfectly.

From what I've seen and heard of him he's more of a Clive Platt than an out and out goal scorer. Brings a lot to the team in terms of strength and hold up play, he'd be more mobile than Platt and chips in with goals too, could be good foil for Cody. What's Clive Platt's record in division 4...

I was only 8 or 9 by the time he moved on so I can only really remember the highlights. I do remember him being offside a phenomenal amount though!

Dion, Huckerby, Keane and Froggatt for me. Dion and Huckerby were the one's that first got me watching city, keane for his obvious quality and froggatt after scoring some belters, one was against everton i think? Could have been a cracking player.

Also because cov dropped him around the age of 12 or some age similar, went back to playing sunday league before villa signed him up. He was in a very successful villa youth/reserve team and was their top scorer I believe. He's big, strong and wikipedia says his goals are something like 1 in 3...
