Play CMS out wide instead of March who isn't match fit IMO

Jones playing all his cards to try and land the job. God help us! And I'm an atheist!

Yes, very wide, like on the bench wide.

Will do well running at defenders, we have missed somebody to do that since Lua Luia got injured.

Why does this feel like the best idea I have heard in the last 3 months. CMS and Bent up front. I'm starting to feel optimisitic again.
We need something different.

We have never played CMS in the correct position but wide right cutting in is in my opinion our best chance to finally put that right

To play that role you need to have a good first touch to quickly get the ball under control and good ball control when you cut inside. They aren't the strengths you associate with CMS. He is best when given a free role chasing anything and anyone around the back four to force errors and create opportunities

I don't bother to post much here but what a miserable lot have done so, so far! CMS does have a poor first touch but in the right area, as he often is, with the right sort of service (& Adam Virgo commented on the poor service Bent got last week, so I hope Jones has noted that) he can score goals. CMS long injury, followed by fairly obvious disdain from Hyppia, can't have helped. Put him in the right place, with decent passes in front of him & he can get goals. He's also capable of providing very good passes up front, though it's a shame KLL is injured to work with him. The other thing is that for quite a while, CMS been a bit of a local hero here, hasn't he? Jones will keep a lot of fans happy by recalling him so perhaps he's hoping things will quieten down for a while.
Additionally, given the amount of abuse the players have been getting on this forum over their lack of desire and application recently, I think it's great that a we have recalled a player that, whilst he may not be the most adept, has BHA in his blood. All this negativity has surely got to stop now Hyypia's gone - support the team, support Jones whilst he's caretaking and let's look to the future.

I don't understand why we let CMS go in the first place. We loaned out O'Grady, understandably, but we should have made sure we kept all our other strikers. We left ourselves short of options for games without him and it will be good to have him available again!
I really think if he'd been able to come on for Bent on Saturday rather than Colunga, the end of the game could have been different.

This. With Baldock being injured we shot ourselves in the foot really.

Especially with the loan situation. If we'd had CMS available, he could have replaced one of the attacking loan options against Millwall (either starting or on the bench) and we could have played Bennett at left back! I'd be interested to know who made the decision to let him go on loan. If it was Hyypia, then it's another reason to be glad he's gone!

At the worst he would have taken the ball and defenders down to the corner and with the break away chance Colunga had he would have tried a 1 on 1 with the keeper.
