I don't think Jolley is really in the market for a creative type now.  This season looks to all be about power, pace and energy.  I'm not saying I don't think we would benefit from some creativity but I'm not sure that our approach at the minute would lend itself to someone off that ilk.

Even those who are our more creative players, such as Ogbu and Wright are utilised more for their physical attributes than technical ones.

I think having Cook in the middle means we are just short of a LB or a utility defender who can cover across the back.

Everything is quiet on the transfer front-not many last minute signings being done anywhere. Unless Jolly is in negotiations I can't sensibly see anything other being done before 5-0pm Monday

Agreed. Cook fits in with the tempo and intensity of the midfield options, whilst giving a bit more attacking intent.  

Still think we need to look at an option at left-back, Gibson looked fitter last night but, as with Ring, I'm not convinced about his defensive abilities.  Macclesfield knocked it about nicely last night all over the pitch but they were pulling him apart at times.  With a 4-3-3 you've got to have full-backs on both sides who can defend but also support the attack.  Hendrie and Hewitt do that fine but it's not balanced and we lack quality cover in my opinion.  

Personally wouldn't mind Joe Grayson back here.

Agree that Cook seems to have "solved" our perceived midfield issue for the time being. I always saw him as a similar player to Sam Jones, so glad a space has been found for him.

I am still finding it difficult to get used to the fact we have so many genuine goal threats on the pitch. It's certainly allowing Hessenthaler to go about his game without having this thrown at him.

We've got two left backs (quite liked Gibson last night) already and Hendrie, Davis, Gibson and Hewitt have all played various roles in defence.

I can only agree golfer. But it’s a nice thought seeing Connor bounding down the left and Hendrie bombing down the right.

They would have a really weird business plan.
