I have to follow on with my predictions for last Tuesday's match with my suggestion that we would lose our way for a few games. Hence my prediction of a 2-0 defeat. Until our midfield become much more involved going forward, we will continue to draw blanks up front. However, this raises questions about formations and personnel. Our 2 centre miss are playing deeper because we have 4 players advanced. 2 out those 4 are not great with defensive duties so the 2 CMs have a lot of space to cover. This was made obvious on Tuesday when Mansfield drove straight down the middle when attacking. I still think we need 3 midfielders but then who drops out?
A further dilemma is that of the return of last year's player of the season. 3-5-2 anyone?
