Drinan is an adaptable and hard working player and can also play the wide winger type role in a 4-4-2 formation if required to.

My point exactly Sid/Chief if it doesn’t work, well least we gave it a go but the players have to be coached and a couple of games to get used to it,however I’m not saying that playing 2 up front every game,it all depends on the opposition and I think we have to be more attacking minded especially at home,games against Mansfield and Walsall come to mind🙈

Yep, point taken. I'm certainly not averse to a Smith, Sotiriou spearhead as well.

I also agree. Although he’s a good player it’s looking like we’re not going to see much of Smyth so it’s worth a try. Just keep Smyth on the bench and use him as a second half substitute.

Don't be stupid, 4-4-2 is so unstoppable we'd have scored 15 today had we employed it.

Yep and he didn't so he's USELESS! at heading the ball. Also, we only ever use him as a target man, which is a bad thing as he absolutely never sets up goals for other players either.
