    Not consistently no. Market is still open I would still like us to bring in another winger.

    I personally think Donaldson is key here. Two up front....Donaldson and either Vaughn or Doyle.

    But for me Donaldson is the key to improving our goals per game ratio. We have missed him far more than we realise.

    I agree in part. Getting the best out of Doyle is going to involve a change in mindset from Bowyer and it remains to be seen if he has it in him. The fact he now has the countries leading goal scorer in his ranks forces his hand a bit and might encourage him to attack a bit more.

    We have the players to change our style. Reeves, Palmer, Cooke, Devitt, Pritchard, Ismail are players with technical ability who would benefit from playing football on the deck as opposed to the tedious hoof we’ve seen. We created a fair amount of chances in a 4-3-3 and this was amid our injury crisis when we had the likes of Akpan and Devine occupying midfield. Bowyer has the players, he just needs to give them license and work out a system to get the best out of them.

    There is putting in crosses and then there is putting in good crosses though. There was a Man Utd game against Fulham under Moyes where over 80 crosses were put in to initially a front 2 of RvP and Rooney and just after half time Chicharito all of whom with the right cross are deadly but it ended 2-2 (and the second goal was a Carrick strike from outside the box so had nothing to do with crosses) as the crosses were poor.

    And to me most of your wide players aren’t wingers, they aren’t looking to put in crosses but rather are inside forwards looking to get themselves into goal scoring chances (or worse are players who get shoved out there when they would prefer to be central) . And the couple who look more like actual wingers are inconsistent. I would say you need to either buy or loan atleast 1 proper, consistent winger to get the best out of Doyle

    Not saying there was an offer but I could see Swindon having been open to making it permanent if only to ensure you didn’t recall him

    You can’t regret, if you are serious about promotion you have to take risks. However he is our player and we will pay his wages. It shows ambition by the club, if we had signed a striker half way through the season with 23 goals under his belt, there would have been a melt down on here.

    The only way to make sense of bringing Doyle back.
    Let's not forget a backup, or two from MF ? "Every little helps." ;)

    Far too simple for City and Bowyer. No, it needs to be over complicated by playing a number 10 in a diamond and hoofing 70 yard balls to a 5ft11 centre forward.

    I'm sure he will flourish in our anti football 10 behind the ball, hoof it up to a sole striker system that we have seen of late.

    The icing on the cake now would be Bowyer going out and bringing in another winger.

    We can easily let 3 or 4 centre midfielders leave if we are to adapt a 4-4-2 going forward.

    Saw a stat recently that said Wood was in the top few in all four divisions for crossing accuracy, not just the amount of crosses. So that answers that one.

    We play 442, keep it simple. Or a slight variation coming off the bench if needed. Under no circumstances should we playing Doyle or Vaughan up front on their own. If we require backs to the wall defending then it has to be Donaldson.

    Be interesting to know how they define 'successful' as you wouldn’t say that City have looked a massive threat when balls have gone into the box
