This is an area we will obviously have to focus in on when signing some new players. A good loan in the middle and a younger body rather than relying on the old body of S Mac would be an upgrade for me. Someone who is available for more games than they aren't and can play more than 60 minutes when they start.
I like how we have played a small and pacey player off of Smudge in a couple of recent games. Barnsley away and today spring to mind. Zoon was a danger and a menace today whilst Ogbene ran amock against Barnsley. It gives Smudge another support player. Someone to flick onto, lay in, link up with. Let them drift out wide when right to do so and play off the main striker like today.
The big question for me going forward is Crooks. Whether we can keep him. I don't think we will. Get good money if that's the case and reinvest in someone to play that attacking mid kind of role. Someone who can link the midfield and front line, be a creative spark and do something a bit different. If we can find someone to add that bit of sparkle then brilliant.
