we want four four two

I honestly think that with the players we have our best option is a 4-2-3-1. With a fully fit squad we could put out:

Stockdale
Bruno Hughes Dunk Bennett
Stephens Holla
Bennett Caskey LuaLua
Bent

Subs: Walton, Greer, Calderon, Ince, March, McCourt, Baldock​

That squad would have some decent back-up going forward too, Colugna, Gardener, Crofts & Portuguese Tex being the stand out players. I'm the first to admit that our squad is the weakest it has been over the last 3 seasons, but you can not tell me that a squad with that much talent should be in the bottom half of this league, let alone the bottom 3! Caskey often reminds me of Jack Wilshere, a young (slight over-hyped) midfielder who is very good when just behind a striker but fades massively when put in a central midfield role where he's expected to defend more than he attacks. I honestly reckon with a competent manager, that XI would challenge for the top 6.

Swap Stephens for JFC and that's a good team.

Agreed. So why wasn't McCourt on the bench?

Because he's shit?
