I think one upfront works well when the ball is played along the deck but you need two, three upfront when crosses are being whipped in. We've sent Armand to Tranmere and he would work well upfront with Doyle to knock the crosses down with his head for Doyle to shoot a bit like how Fletcher and Lester worked. Everyone says 4-4-2 doesn't work but it can with the right players. I've noticed a lot of teams in the Premier League and our division are playing 4-2-3-1 like we play because it is a good attacking formation but it looks like teams now have worked out how we play and are stopping us. The back four looks ok but we never replaced Cooper like we didn't replace Davies that could probably comeback to haunt us. We need Hird back and also need Humphreys, like you say Dev we need to play Boco because he did well start of the season. In January we need to look at a new CB and another Striker or two if Doyle goes.
