Seeing lineups with Crnac and Makama out wide. They're just central strikers I think

The lack of real wingers in the side is shocking. Diallo and Jurasek are the only ones. Schwartau and Marcondes number 10s.

We're well stocked in central mids if not too many with Mattson, McLean, Topic, Wright and Gibbs.

It all points to a muddled summer transfer window with Knapper and Manning. Recruiting wing backs and extra centre backs for a 532 type system which has now been ditched.

They should've been aligned on the system and stuck to it. If it was going to be a 4231 like we are playing now, then a new no. 10 was a priority along with two extra wingers. Just seems like a mess in overall strategy from Knapper and Manning.

- It's a mess and a mess that no one really owns because... (NCFC) - Goosebumps, Oct 2, 15:29:22
- To be fair Kvistgaarden was the new number 10 (NCFC) - Duck, Oct 2, 14:49:59
  - He's a number 9, said so himself (n/m) (NCFC) - seminated_woolly, Oct 2, 16:06:09
  - Is he a creative type though, he looks like a decent finisher when he gets in the box (NCFC) - roedtonowhere, Oct 2, 14:54:11
    - He’s not a number 10 (n/m) (NCFC) - jamesward, Oct 2, 15:00:18
      - Agree, he started cup game as lone striker so think that's his best position (n/m) (NCFC) - roedtonowhere, Oct 2, 15:10:28
        
        Either played wide or up front for his previous club (n/m) (NCFC) - jamesward, Oct 2, 15:15:23
- What wing backs? (NCFC) - 51eve, Oct 2, 14:40:30
  - Schlupp was a decent wing back when he was younger (NCFC) - jamesward, Oct 2, 15:16:10
  - Bizarrely Diallo seemed to be played at wing back in a few games. He's just a winger (NCFC) - roedtonowhere, Oct 2, 14:45:43
- I think some of these players were scouted for Thorup before they pulled the trigger (NCFC) - Knitted Jesus, Oct 2, 14:38:01
  - True, kvistgaarden and Mattson feel like ones Thorup would've earmarked (NCFC) - roedtonowhere, Oct 2, 14:48:10
  - And this is the problem with keeping chopping the manager noone gets to build a team (NCFC) - Knitted Jesus, Oct 2, 14:39:13
