f***ing stupid decision not to re-sign Bertin

As if we had the chance.

When Whing was here last season and Fraser played on the right of midfield we looked very good because Fraser tucked in and allowed Whing to overlap.

It gave us a more solid midfield and made the most of Whing's good delivery etc.

It was only when Whing left that Fraser's lack of width was exposed somewhat.

With Whing back I would certainly start Fraser on the right tucking in.

That's a good point, providing opposition doesn't exploit lack of width on right & keep Whing busy defending. However, reading reports from pre-season games would suggest Whing has the ability of looking for defence splitting passes - even though they may not come off every time. His crossing ability will also be key to any attacking moves, if we play Fraser tucking in with midfield - this will give us a 3-5-2 formation when going forward & could even give one of midfield (Cox or Hammond, possibly) the chance to get in & around penalty area looking for goals/hassling defenders etc.

Looking forward to first game at Crewe, even though our record at Gresty Road is not good. About time we got off to a good start - a result (win or draw) would be great, but would like to see us put in a good performance also. I for one will making some noise, feel free to join in if your going!!
