Cujoe problems are his physicality, he is too small to be effective over a distance, especially on the wing, he would have to beat his full back about six times from the halfway line because they will just keep catching up with him. He would probably be more effective through the middle, he can beat a man and slip a pass through, pace less important. I think he has been criminally under used by Goodwin off the bench at least in home games when we have become totally predictable, he just gets predictably stuck on late on the wing.
Middleton has done well with assists this season, but we have been totally predicatable to play against at times because he tends to just go outside. I'd probably still be starting him away games, in part because he offers good defensive cover with McMann. I also think Middleton should be getting moved behind the main striker during some games, he had a decent shot, could be effective, but Goodwin has just been totally predicatble up to yesterday with his formation and selection. Shame Wetherspoon got injured, he looked good, Fotheringham seems to have gone of the boil a bit.
I do wonder why Goodwin decided to wait to yesterday to implement changes, after a decent performance if not result, when we've been crying out for changed during other games and he has done nothing.
