I am really pleased with the team that PH has assembled with a strong defence and varying options up front and out wide, however our midfield players are all very similar in their style of play and although Dis does his best to get forward into the opponents box,  I would have liked to have seen someone with the driving force and attributes of Cockers or a  Cunnington type player signed permanent or on loan to complete the picture.

i thought our midfielders are different actually.

Disley, Attacking minded midfielder
Clay, Defensive minded midfielder
Brown, Box to Box type midfielder
Mclaughlin, calm passing type who can see and execute a pass

I don't think you could really classify Brown as a box to box player. We are still lacking a bit of pace in central midfield but hopefully, our more mobile attacking options will make this less of an issue. One thing we do have throughout the squad is a willingness to work hard which should be a fundamental part of any professional footballer but, as we have seen many times, often isn't!

I'd guess that the budget for players is pretty much gone for now so, barring an injury crisis, I'd be amazed if a new central midfielder were to be signed on loan.

Brown and Dizzy work well together in midfield... PH just has to choose who else fits there with them

Would have liked Matty Blair here but Mansfield just signed him and now he's out until the end of the season.

Don't particularly follow them but they seem to have a torrid time with injuries.

I think Clay can be that man who can burst beyond the front two, he definitely looks to have all the attributes to do so.  I definitely don't see him as a defensive minded player, more box-to-box.

Disley has the natural tendency to go beyond the strikers and it brings success if only by the sheer number of goals he gets.  Sometimes I think he plays within himself a bit and ends up sitting too deep.  Not sure if that's as per instruction or not.  

Not sure I feel we need to bring anyone in, that would be bringing someone in for the sake of it in my eyes.

With the new options up front, will that not naturally bring more space available to exploit for either of the current midfielders to make use of?

Strikers who can happily go wide can create spaces for Clay, Brown , Disley, and / or Paddy - they all have a decent long range shot - Diz can float in with headers.

The main thing is to keep them all fit and keen, so it's a four way fight for two places, depending on formation and which wingers are fit and in use.

if you're playing a 4/4/2, then both Mackreth and Neilsen come to mind as well as any two from several forwards.

Who'd be a manager with the current squad to keep happy?

I would probably bring a Winger on loan, but that's about it really.
