    He was hopeless though up front. BRE would be equally hopeless up front.

    Maybe 4-4-2 with Hosannah and Woods as full backs overlapping and DHM and Samuels up front to give some much needed pace to the team,

    Norman Corner was another who moved from striker to
    defence.

    In the early 60's Stan Storton played left back and occasionally as a winger or centre forward.

    Graham Oates could play centre half or centre forward

    Didn’t Dion Dublin also play both roles?

    I'm still not convinced DMH is quick

    I’d say that a forward line with an inability to score, a lack of creativity, a lack of organisation in the team and a squad desperately lacking in quality have more of an impact on results than people moaning on social media, but then what do I know.

    Agree with all you say
    But with a bit of pre salary cap transfer activity all that could have been negated
    That's where my negative thoughts begin

    Paul Madeley. Wasn't he know as Mr Utility so has to have played CH and CF. Surely?

    Not if you were expecting a goal fest, but as they say "could do a job"

    Just wondering how many strikers are people expecting there to be in our squad?

    It's weird that we don't have a single young, home grown forward.

    Not sure how we've managed that.

    Going back a bit further there was Tony Leighton in the 60’s , successful at both centre half and centre forward.

    We also had David Weatherall if you you go back that far. Sometimes it worked better when a centre forward became a centre half, like Joe Cooke.

    I suggest a 9-1 formation for Saturday. At least we could play for a battering 0-0 whilst looking for a shot on the break.

    Something just doesn’t add up. We all know what’s missing and surely McCall does, so why didn’t he address it? Just one of the 3/4 holes filled could have helped but instead, he ignores them and is satisfied with his squad. Either he’s working to a budget we know nothing about or he truly hasn’t got a clue about recruitment and is afraid to make a mistake. Does anyone know if he had sole responsibility for recruitment at Motherwell or Scunthorpe?
