Our Midfield
We seem to be missing a midfield enforcer which goes someway to explain our poor defensive performance v Barnsley and other games. We have two diminutive midfielders in Lowery and Morrell we need a taller stronger midfield enforcer. Tunnicliffe is not the answer Thompson or Mingi are the other options but I’m not sure whether they can fore fill that role going forward.This should be considered in determining which midfielders we should keep and bring in.
Laughter is the jam on the toast of life. It adds flavor, keeps it from being too dry, and makes it easier to swallow.

Re: Our Midfield
I think midfield has been a problem for us for quite some time. We haven't had the right blend for a number of seasons in my opinion. We have definitely missed having a truly creative player who can unlock defences with clever passes. That is one of the reasons why we haven't been able to make the chances for our strikers which has made them look worse than what they really are. I think we have players at the club that could that job with Lowery & Tunnicliffe being our most creative players. As JT has already alluded to we also could do with an enforcer to help the creative players to do their jobs. However, I think it is more important that we beef up the creative side and get that right first. We don't want to waste the talent of Bishop who is a proper goal scorer given the service. I would say that if a team has more than one player who can spark things off there would be little need for the enforcer type of player.

Re: Our Midfield
JM has mentioned that he plans to play Lowery in the 10 role as he's a technical, creative player.
