it might help his game and the team if we start him deep forward and see what happens.
We have plenty of mid options to cover him and we need goals to win games......lets try and be proactive rather than reactive for a change.
I sort of agree, but I don't think we have plenty of cover.
I think the problem might be when we do not win the football, many of our other mid options are dead slow by comparison, opponents just run off them even the captain! Otherwise swap Ed for Fish in a heartbeat!
On a separate issue, I think we made a huge blunder when Docherty went down, we should have publicly announced a replacement 2IC. To me Cripps is the emotional captain, and he plays like that to a very high standard, but he's not the clinical finisher / tactician we also need. Cripps as a solo captain to me is like if the Dawks had given Hodge the job before he was ready, it was either good design or good luck Hodge spent a few years under Mitchell. Mitchell was the clinical tactician type before the emotive Hodge got the gig! Cripps will grow into the role, but he could have used some help short term!
But who EB1, what type of 2IC, someone to also grow or someone who has already been there?
