I disagree with Rene ( a rare thing I know). With 2 defensive midfielders, it will be difficult for them to play through us and with Horton and Ogle with two wide players tracking back, difficult to go round us. If the 2 CBs step back 3 yards, it will be difficult to go over us. It’s being creative when we go forward that would concern me. Butterfield is the answer, he needs to start, it’s who leads the line. If we play Whitehall like yesterday we will end up hoofing balls in his general direction. If Whitehall is prepared to look for space and do a bit of movement Butterfield may find him in space, facing goal. You could use Howe in this role put if we resort to hoofball then Howe will get nothing. Gale may be ok in the role, Parker too. We probably would nick a couple of goals and when Butterfield isknackered, sub him with Beestin. I think the defensive issues are fixable with a change in personnel and weak of training. It’s the creativity that concerns me. Midfield is short on this.
