Quoted from petethemariner
I reckon Rodman could score goals played as a striker Chiang, he does
seem one of the better players we have finishing-wise, so a target man and
Rodman with Neilson playing just behind them might work - its all hypothetical
anyway unless the Manager changes, because i could never see Paul Hurst
go with the wingback plan (unfortunately).


Rodman has played as a striker at previous clubs.

My original post was not based on using the present players because I don' think many in midfield are suited to different style of play. We need to determine what style/formation to play and recruit players who will fit that. Round pegs in round holes is what is require.

Changes need to be made in midfield imo,

Disley should play and Kerr should play,

But

Not together.
of the two I would opt for Kerr.Think Disley is decent but Kerr for me (on his game) gives you a bit more energy and bite

I think Kerr is useful for an hour but on a regular basis he seems to get stuck in quicksand in the last half hour. I have seen a lot of occasions when opponents run off him in the closing stages. Not his fault but he seems very one paced and one thing for sure you don't get quicker once you get over 30

The biggest need for me is to to find a central midfielder who can support the forwards & regularly make runs beyond the strikers. I know there aren't many players who fit this mould but it so hard to defend against. You would also need a mobile defensive midfield player alongside this idealistic midfielder.

4-2-3-1?

I like 4-2-3-1 as long as the three is made up of genuine attacking players.

I agree on Kerr and I also like 4-2-3-1. Paddy McLaughlin is currently our most mobile centre midfielder and possibly also the most skilful and attack-minded.

shame  still would keep him though as for me is a good addition to the squad.Can see why he was a success at Lincoln for so long
