Now we have JJ. Get Jayden into midfield. Will get goals, fittest man in our team, will get back to help defence and will link well with Willy G.

Not a bad idea. I thought last year we should have tried Firpo as an attacking midfielder, think he could be good freed from the defensive duties that he's not very good at.

That is a really good idea c&j, but only a few managers will have the guts to try something like that. Bogle has plenty of pace, and can beat a man, why not try it for a half, and change it if it’s not working. Tomorrow would be an ideal time due to the injury situation.

Didn’t Bogle actually start out as a wide player while at Derby?

I think Bogle is our best player currently .
I would be very tempted to play him right midfield definitely. Maybe Harrison left - both got good work rate.

Why not try it for a half? Answer. Mr Farke is why not. He will be having daytime shivers hearing try something different idea.

Mick I think it’s certainly worth a try. And JR going by your previous posts, you more than most will remember The Don was a master at changing players original positions. He did it with several players. And you’re 100% correct on Firpo. We missed a big trick there, not playing him further up the field. So many posters on here said when he left they will miss his runs and crosses down the left side creating numerous chances. I don’t recall any saying they will miss him for his defensive attributes.

Agreed C&J I'm 76 and so saw the whole of the Revie era, and agree that the Don was great at changing players positions. TC was bought as a winger and turned into a world class LB, Paul Madely filled so many roles I can't remember where he started. Happy days!

No chance of any of the above happening under Farke the creative destroyer! ???.

Everyone was complaining before about round pegs going into square holes. Now that we have properly reinforced the squad so that players can play in their preferred positions, still folk ain’t happy.
Although Tanaka and Amps are out, we still have Stach, Longstaff and Gruev, admittedly the latter two are not performing to their potential but how are they going to by sitting on the bench?
Which way is it because I’d really like to know?
You are coming across as another WUM Dave, you would’ve loved Baz, or are you?
