    I think Super Ugar has potential ..... but agree about Brown, Finland is his garden he can share with Kokko...

    He is a natural 8, said so in his first interview when he signed. Only the idiot continually played as a #10 when blind freddy could see that wasn't where he was suited.

    I am hoping Ernie shows a little intelligence and flexibility not to constantly park 2 defensive midfielders infront of a back four.

    TBF Miller played him as a #10 as well

    I don't see Brown as a 10 at all. But we had no other option last year besides maybe Clut. We are in desperate need of a creative mid.

    In pre-season before we had completed the squad, big difference

    Why don't we switch to a 4-4-2 or a 3-4-3 and negate the need for an Attacking Mid? I would rather see us sign one but we can get away without having a creative hub that other teams can mark out of the game. Hard working midfielders can help fill the void, lots of mongrel and all that.

    But seriously, play with some width and try to give our slow thinking midfield more time on the ball? Just a thought, not anything worth reading too much into.

    I would argue we play with too much width now

    Judas Raheem and Nabbout are pretty much parked on the sideline too much

    We need to condense the field more and leave the space to play into rather than holding the space on the sidelines as we have done for years

    Could only imagine if we played narrow and through the middle. You'd be blowing up saying we need to play with more width.

    Insane.

    Really? Member is kind of right... we have played this style where we stick a winger completely isolated with zero support as wide as possible for years. All that Member appears to be suggesting is that you use the width as space to run into rather than starting out there and having half a field till your next support player in midfield.

    yup agreed....Member is right here. Start of the year we transitioned quickly through the midfield and out to the wings and it worked. Then opposition teams started to figure us out and it devolved to long ball out to the wings against defenders who were ready for it. we need to get back to playing through there midfield

    Go direct pommy style. It will work at this level. We'll score that many we'll have to throw some back.

    Then when they stack a sweeper we go round the outside like a trailer pk girl.

    Would love to see our team actually try that, Stoke style. Get Kokko up top, O'Caravan, Nabbout and Petratos running off him.
    Even better, sign Peter Crouch to come and help!

    I reckon Boogard would be heaps good at booting the ball up the park all day.

    My guess...Kokko gets sold to Ledman FC if they are promoted.

    That wouldn't be till next year though and his contract would be up. I think it's ridiculous he's one of our highest paid players in the club. I scoffed when that was mentioned on your podcast. Decent record but it was all in Finland playing in front of 5 people.

    But but but he is foreign so won't be any good, won't know the local players and isn't a mate of Lawrie's

    That was the bit I hadn't looked up - when the Chinese 3rd Division season ends.
