I think the system is predictable and makes everybody who plays in it look predictable, but the only area of the pitch where we can actually conjure a bit of magic is on the wings and Robbie around the box.
We only have three properly technical wide players who can hold up the ball and bring others into play: Duff, McGeady and Lawrence. So I think Trap is taking a big risk leaving Lawrence at home. If we lost Duff and, god forbid, McGeady, I think we would have to radically alter the game plan. Fahey can play there at a pinch but his fitness is in doubt too.
