I think that when he came to us SEB was trying to play a role he never played when he was a success. I think serious injury limited him - he was never the same again. He was a very different kind of player for Plymouth and Wolves - even a different shape.
O'Grady was always the kind of player he is now - only better. The last time he had goals in him was as a youth player.
Unfortunately GC left us short in certain parts of the field. Mitchell is the only man who wants to go forward wide and he can't get in the team.
It seems to me that whenever we think of getting forward centrally from midfield or out wide - we come up with Joe Rowley and the lad can't be everywhere, he can't do everything at once.
Did you see Chuks Aneke for MKD? The man is a mountain, he was a permanent threat from midfield ........ he had skill and he scored a freekick as if it were no bother. We've no presence remotely like that coming in behind our lone front man. MKD had a man out wide left cutting in to shoot and score and a young right back who looked a Premiership player in the making when coming forward ......... and an experienced, strong controlling midfielder who also made scoring look easy. And they are in the bottom half of the division we'd like to be in. We are miles and miles away from their level and that's not even mentioning Ebanks-Blake at centre back.
One thing I'd like to see us do is arrange some friendlies and try CO'G at centre back. Centre forwards used to drop back late in their careers .......... and we've another year and a half of a big contract we never should have signed.
