Yes they are full backs just switch doherty to left full and let him use his ability to pass the ball into midfield and cut inside and have strikes on goal coming from a full back position. None of our full backs have any guile that makes them suitable to play midfield.Quote:

Central midfield is a bit of a worry, I wonder if it's worth Mick giving Conor Coventry a chance there. He's been getting rave reviews in West Ham's youth team, some of their fans are going so far as saying he looks better than you-know-who did at the same stage a few years ago.
3 points in the bag.
That's a different debate. When we were discussing it previously most people including me where more then happy with Stevens and i think he deserves another go at LB. Would u keep Doherty at right mid if Stevens keeps his place?Quote:

He also offers less in terms of goals. So I wood have Coleman right full doherty left full. But if doherty can't get into those 2 positions fair enough but he shouldn't play at all then.Quote:

At wolves he comes onto ball from deep in acres of space and uses his athletic and physical ability to play simple passes to break into the space behind to create chances which is fantastic but playing right wing is totally different when space is tight and you need to use actual skills to create that space not just athletic ability. Clearly that's why doherty has never played right midfield I'm club football but has played at least a season and a half as a left full
At half time I would have taken off the rooftop aerial and cancelled the TV subscription but I was hoping one of Duffy's 'passes' might have floated by and done the job for me.Quote:

Mind you our goal difference is always rubbish, so no great loss really.
Hourihane I think. Brady hadn't come on yet.Quote:

I wonder would the likes of Auden McGeady have been suited to do some sort of damage on an Astro pitch.
Regarding central midfield, I sill think Shaun Williams should be considered as he olds on to the ball well and demands it too.
Watching Duffy boot the ball into the sky constantly on Saturday was just awful to see
