📝Bostock Signs

Looks a good signing and adds to the midfield options.

But we can only play 2, right? If we stay with the winning formula of a back 5, Ruben/Austin and a front two...

We saw Palmer/Francis/O'Brien start at Gateshead. The balance was wrong and it was probably our worst away performance of the season

As good as Palmer has been for a season and a half, I think he causes a selection problem. He does immense work for the build up, but isn't a 9/10 defender or a great one for joining in the attack. I still think Bajrami is the best bet to cover both of those roles at the same time. Let's see what Bostock brings but I agree with the poster who said it looks like he'll be cover for Palmer.

I think he’s viewing him as a left-sided Palmer who’ll do a similar job on the other side of the pitch, but possibly with a bit more physicality (he’s certainly a lot bigger).

We don’t reeeeally play with a front two either I wouldn’t say. It’s more of a midfield box with two deeper (normally Palmer and Jim) and two higher up. When Scott plays it’s more of a front two, but he still spends a lot of time basically playing as an extra midfielder, and it’s even more obvious when he picks Castro.
