For the first time in a long time I have faith in the management to make the right decisions in terms of team selection, substitutions and recruitment. If they thought we needed another in midfield they'd have brought someone in. They didn't, and that's good enough for me.

I commented on this when we signed Rowe. We really could have done with a decent ball winning central midfielder.

Evans played CM for Portsmouth quite a lot so should be good cover.

Cooke can play deeper. He's not as effective, but he's comfortable there. Evans can do it too, Clarke to maybe a lesser extent. Its maybe a risk and we'll see how it pans out. We do have options though and its likely we had to make a call over where best to spend our money for most return. Strengthening the starting spots for the wide forward areas was a higher priority.

I think Sutton is doing a great job there

I think these responses show it shouldn't be an area of concern as there are plenty of options to cover if needed. We're never going to have perfect back up for every position. We're a league 2 team not man city

AOC could potentially deputise for Levi, but not for Watt. If Watt were to be injured, it would have to be Cooke moving back, in which case we've got plenty of people to fill in behind Rowe/Novak/Cook.borderlescott likes this. -

Fingers crossed they stay fit, but believe me, it's definitely not up to them to decide if their hamstring pings or not.vanginger likes this. -
Cheers for the replies, just wanted to guage how other City fans saw us for bodies in CM. I like Cooke but im not totally convinced by him deeper. He was neat & tidy but I thought the game passed him by a fair bit when he played the majority of the time in that role. Admittedly that was in a struggling side next to Akpan so hopefully if he's 3rd choice for that role now he'll be able to maintain his form better.
Maybe im getting carried away but I've convinced myself were making a push for the play-offs and would hate it to unravel due to lack of a proper CM if the worse should happen.

Don't get me wrong - he's doing a job, but I just think it's such an important position, we'd really benefit from a player who is a bit more experienced in that role.NorthernMonkey likes this.
