Frank Vincent

I'd be more suited in that role than Francis

Have to disagree with you there. From the 3hrs of football we've seen from him in the last two games, everything points to him being an attacking, goalscoring midfielder. Those are obviously his strengths and instincts. It'd be a waste and a liability to put a player like that in the holding role.

Never fear though, we have Palmer for that and boy did he prove it yesterday.
Vincent is a 10-goal a season player and we need someone like that if we want to be promoted. Palmer, for all his strengths, will never be that player. By the time he's 28 he'll be playing the holding role anyway so no problem getting him to do that now.

I reckon yesterday was a huge step forward - solving our midfield conundrum (Francis will back up Palmer now) and a stellar performance from DKE showing that we can play 3-5-2 without a weak link at RWB.

The problem is doing it on a consistent level.
