It's where Woods spends most of his time on the pitch to get on the ball and knit things together but can he defend? Can Allen and Etebo? I still feel like we're leaving our central defence exposed and our central defence, given their startling ability to look like total amateurs despite supposedly being "good football players", will concede a lot of goals if not protected.
There isn't a solution in the current squad unless Clucas can play there and break things up and most of the suggestions for changes to our team on here look like leaving us even more open at the back.
Should we just go for it and try and win every game 4-3?

It’s easy to blame not having a CM but that’s not the reason.if we had a decent back 4 we’d be conceding less. They don’t do the basics with or without a DM.

What I would say though is if we’re not defensive minded enough in Midfield we certainly don’t make up for it going forward. |

Although Woods, Ince and Etebo do at least look like they know how to play football. The rest of the team are ropey as anything. |

Woods is head and shoulders above anyone in a Stoke strip but the problem is he has to play defensive mid, AND ALSO cover for the gaping hole when Allen goes AWOL all over the pitch AND ALSO literally coach half the team about where they should be on the pitch rather than where their lazy assess usually are. Bloke deserves a medal. And is apparently the only bloke to be able to pass forwards in the team AND ASLO pick out a Stoke shirt.

Hence why I'm saying get Clucas in there and hope he can share the responsibility. I love/hate what you mention about him coaching half the team. Crazy that this is happening. Surely Rowett and his team aren't coaching properly? I bet Woods can't believe what he's seeing. We're incompetent. |
