when mcsheffrey isn't fit to play at the top of the diamond i wish we'd just play 442. Bell either kept coming too deep or was playing too high on saturday. There were at least half a dozen occassion where he could have turned into space but just passed the ball back.
Mcdonalds best attribute from what i've seen is getting on the end of crosses with his head.
So lets play 2 wide men and start getting some crosses into the box for mcdonald and juke to attach.
The formation is also a lot simplier and with our players i think we should stick to basics, would also provide some much needed protection for the full backs.
May be we're going to have to raid the youth team yet again to introduce this pace we all recognise as lacking ,seems to me the young ones are taking public flack that he's not willing to dish to the seniors who should be looking very much at themselves.
