He was fine. Not sure he was significantly better than PLM. Gave the ball away dangerously

Couple of times.

My actual point is more that Todd and Gilmour are probably best suited to the same position in the formation we chose and I wouldn't drop Todd... Would you?

We don't have the third defensive midfielder in order to pair Todd AND Gilmour.

In my opinion

        Did you actually read the article? He specifically says he doesn't want to be a head coach (NCFC) - trafford_canary, Aug 14, 22:31:26
        
        But he would give no defensive cover? (n/m) (NCFC) - paulg, Aug 14, 22:36:15
        
        Watch the first two Liverpool goals and notice what Billy offers defensively (NCFC) - trafford_canary, Aug 14, 22:58:35
        
        In truth we need a genuine skipp replacement (n/m) (NCFC) - paulg, Aug 14, 23:09:09

        😁 We look short of athleticism in midfield without Skipp that is apparent (NCFC) - trafford_canary, Aug 14, 23:01:29
        
        Huh. Weird. It kept a different message title. I'd put "did you actually read my post?" (n/m) (NCFC) - trafford_canary, Aug 14, 22:32:23
  - You think Gilmour offered much more defensively in the centre than Todd would? (NCFC) - trafford_canary, Aug 14, 22:13:41
    - I can't see that line up being anything other than 4-2-4 (NCFC) - mrleelee, Aug 14, 22:35:31
    - I'm afraid he's right... your midfield wouldn't survive 5 mins (n/m) (NCFC) - paulg, Aug 14, 22:15:19
      - It's literally just Todd for Gilmour (n/m) (NCFC) - trafford_canary, Aug 14, 22:16:12
- That's the most wide open team I've ever seen. (n/m) (NCFC) - norwaay, Aug 14, 22:09:39
  - No, against Colchester was probably more open. (n/m) (NCFC) - Men without hats, Aug 14, 23:12:17

  - He was fine. Not sure he was significantly better than PLM. Gave the ball away dangerously (NCFC) - trafford_canary, Aug 14, 22:10:47
    - He was miles better than Melou. (n/m) (NCFC) - SeattleSounders, Aug 14, 22:29:43
      - I wouldn't even have Melou as a starter if we could find (NCFC) - SeattleSounders, Aug 14, 22:46:29
        
        Was he? I know very little about Gilmour other than the hype. (NCFC) - trafford_canary, Aug 14, 22:48:55
