I think it's actually the wide men that are the problem

We could accommodate 2 up top more easily by adjusting the system. With he players we have I think we're crying out to play 3-5-2 (or a slight variation)

Whittaker/Martin and Olson would be much better suited to those roles than in a flat 4. Could play 2 defensive minded midfielders which would give Fer a bit more freedom to get further up the pitch and have more opportunity to slide balls rough to RVW/Hooper ala west brom away

        No way do they get forward as regularly as they did under lambert (NCFC) - Darren Eadie, Jan 29, 10:54:42
        
        Agree totally. (n/m) (NCFC) - Pit, Jan 29, 11:04:57
        
        I'm pretty sure they do (NCFC) - mr carra, Jan 29, 11:02:54
        
        Olssen seems to create a good number of chances! He crossed for the Snod header last night (NCFC) - trafford_canary, Jan 29, 11:18:04

    - That, or maybe sending him on loan, could be the best solution (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Jan 29, 10:33:43
  - Hooper/Bechio is the way forward here. Hughton is so blind he cant see it. (n/m) (NCFC) - Pit, Jan 29, 10:26:50
    - it's not so simple though is it (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Jan 29, 10:29:21

      - Elmander did more in 20 minutes last night than Ricky has done all season (NCFC) - duke of york, Jan 29, 10:33:53
        
        agree - we look significantly better whenever Elmander plays (NCFC) - Mecagoenti, Jan 29, 10:36:00
- Indeed. The stubborn dour negative tit still took a point and (NCFC) - MIKEWALKER, Jan 29, 10:24:22
