Noble

In January if florist don't recall grant what shape would Notts be playing if noble plays too and where would be fit in at whoose expense ?

I'd suggest the circle formation. 10 players round Noble to stop the drongo decking someone.

I think we'll end up playing noble just behind a striker like Ameobi or a new striker

It's only in the last few years that 2 defensive holding players has become fashionable.
Years ago, no manager would think twice about picking a midfield four of Hawkridge-Yates-Noble-Grant behind 2 strikers and expecting your defenders to defend.
I'd like to see this, even away from home.

Something like that, a central attacking midfield position, we haven't had one since he left.

[DAZH]

why is he not in the squad for the central league cup tie today, i thought he was allowed to play in that

[SmiffyPie]

a central attacking midfield position,

Yes probably, provided KN can clearly indicate to him just who to attack and not just anything that moves.
