Agree - it is one of our biggest issues in my view

Even though Barnes sometimes notionally plays in a deeper role he is still playing primarily as a striker and it leaves us exposed in midfield.

No coincidence that our best recent display was with a 4-2-3-1 v Hudds. Weird therefore that he then ditched it at WBA and in subsequent games.

With Hwang gone, hopefully club signs a creative no. 10 on loan to play behind Sarge (NCFC) - roedtonowhere, Jan 9, 11:47:52

  - Unfortunately not. He played a 4231 at Schalke and Huddersfield (NCFC) - roedtonowhere, Jan 9, 11:59:39
    - Maybe with a stieperman type number ten (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Jan 9, 14:11:35
      - Agree a Stiepi type would be better. Finn Azaz would've been ideal but he's gone to Boro (n/m) (NCFC) - roedtonowhere, Jan 9, 14:37:16

      - Barnes deep is ruining our control of games (NCFC) - roedtonowhere, Jan 9, 12:27:19
        
        This is correct. He's an emergency 10 because he's not good enough for much else (NCFC) - Cable Gap Pioneer, Jan 9, 15:00:48
    - Totally agree. We need kannler to grow some balls or get authority … (NCFC) - loz, Jan 9, 12:07:50
