I dont mind the inverted bit, but maybe use mcdonald with Platt and strengthen the midfield with more grit, and let the wingers be wingers. Finding a good wing back at this level is hard. Don't over complicate it.
100% agree. Maynard pretty much refused to start Jarvis in our most important games because he's not a wingback and can't really defend. So we only bring him on when chasing a game. It's a complete waste of a great young talent. If we're going to sign players like Jarvis, let's play to their strengths. If we insist on playing wingbacks, why sign wide forwards?
