LOB and Cottrell are essential components because they have the tanks to cover the ground to provide defensive coverage for the midfielders who don't. I prefer Newnes over Setterfield as the 3rd winger because, although Setterfield played quite well today, I don't think he kicks the ball well under pressure and there didn't seem to be a lot of pressure today.
One of the big positives of McGovern's return is that it frees up Plowman to play a more attacking role.
Motlop obviously has good skills and a few tricks but I had been disappointed with his apparent lack of acceleration, until today, when he showed a few bursts of real speed - next step is to get him to chase opponents like he chased the loose ball.
Probably one of the best games I have seen LOB play - a bit more ferocity at the football and mental application to the contest and will be a player.
