We still need a midfield enforcer too, I know brown can play in their but you wouldn't want him and Thomas in there if we play 4231. I know Kilbane's been playing there but I would think he'll struggle to play sat-tues-sat week in week out.

Deegan is perfect in that role, the other us just needed for back up. Injuries suspension last 15 mins so I think Kilbane, brown and Thomas can be the back up for deegan in this role. More concerned about the Norwood role and decent competition for cody
phillips is a defender btw not midfielder plays RB. and with 3/4 more players coming in (depends what ha happened to jennings) we could do well this year
While they were only friendlies these two defeats to mid range Scottish teams has re focussed the mind on our frailties, numbers are healthy but quality is vital and preferably a team that will not usually contain 4-5 long term injury absentees. The usual chocolate fireguard suspects like McDonald and Bell are at it again I see !!
Interestingly Yeovil will play Bristol Rovers next week, who we play two weeks later, it may be an indication of where we are??
I doubt Brown has come to fill the bench. He will be centre half with Malaga, or midfield sitting deep. We may have another Keogh situation with him playing right back for much of the season, especially as I fear Clarke may attract a buyer.
I think we need another tough tackling midfielder, we have Kilbane and ... Deegan *sigh*. We also need another striker, only have 4 decent strikers if you count RoD aswell.
