A poll. Because I have no idea and I'm pretty sure Ross doesn't either.

Attacking mid for me. He’s a bit of a luxury player that I’m not sure you can play when you are trying to grind out results.

I do think he has a bit of quality about him but it’s too rare. Still only 22 but he’s had a poor start to the season in his play but is our top scorer...

On the bench at the moment. Not good enough to start.

Good question. I have no idea. Can this team play with Dennis and JMD in starting line up? As for Brophy, he is probably the type of player that flies it in training, he has quality but doesn't always deliver, his final ball let's him down far too often, he should do better. As for Wright, I don't think he is a ball winner or attacking midfielder. Gorman is a box to box player, will always show for the ball, maybe tries too hard and obviously will make some mistakes but you won't make mistakes if you don't try at least but he needs consistent game time. Clay is good backup but may be struggling at this level. Marsh, well he is young, not a box to box player. Don't see any goals in his record even at underage level.

I'm not going to start on the defence tonight and obviously with Angol out, we have major issues up front and lack of depth of attacking options on the bench.

Maybe, time also to give some of the youngsters some game time

I thought he was an orthodox right winger when we signed him but seems to be put in the #10 role more recently. Would prefer to see him back out wide if we could get to the point where we have a CM pairing who can do the job adequately.

Voted for attacking midfielder as that's the closest to what he is at present. Until we sign that missing Vincelot player in CM he's gonna have to play in a 4-3-3 / 4-5-1 setup.

That same question could be asked of a few of our players

Yes. A really want to like him more, because he shows flashes of class and gets into good positions, but at the same time he overhits many of his crosses or they go straight into the keepers arms. Definitely one for when the team is doing well rather than in a relegation dogfight

He’s good enough but it ain’t happening at the moment.

Too lightweight to play in the midfield 3, he has to play as a winger if we go with 4-4-2 or off of the striker as he currently is if we persist with 4-3-3.

Play him up front as he's always looking to score rather than look for team mates (not always a bad thing). Him cutting inside is also far too predictable and easy for the opposition to defend.

This is what I'd be doing with Angol out.

I'd pair him with Wilkinson. He we will have to make the runs in behind the opposition's defence though. If he doesn't put in the work rate then I'd put Soteriou in that position.
