i've been thinking........
if he doesn't have a clear out and has to make do and in the unlikely event they're all fit, we're quite overloaded with centre mids and our wingers are crap.
how about.....
GK Brill/Fleming
RB Lomax/Lee/Holdsworth/Purdie
CB Gregan
CB Hazell/A N Other
LB Black/Jacobson
CM Lee/Purdie
CM Stephens/Furman
CM Worthington/Holdsworth
Upfront - Abbott/Dickov/Eaves through the middle with Taylor/Smalley/Millar/Colbeck either side.
I'd start Taylor, Abbott and Eaves for home games in a rigid 4-3-3 and maybe use Smalley or Millar away on the right of the 3 and revert to 4-5-1 without the ball. Dickov to come off the bench.
wot U reckon?
