Looks like Shola Ameobi is going to be the answer.
To be honest I was at the game yesterday and it looks like the passing game has gone out the window and the long ball to Afobe was option 1, even though he never once had support.
We do NEED a big strong forward for when we adopt this style of play.
Benit was the lone forward with ALF in the hole which did NOT work. He is still putting square pegs in round holes.
Please Please Please go back to 4231 with Edwards in the hole. Please

Can't see it working with coady and Edwards in centre of midfield, no creativity there as to play McDonald in one of those positions unless you play five in midfield and one up front with Edwards making runs through middle

Dot I think we have to take into account the way Brighton closed us down in midfield. It was the Barcelona approach of three men on us each time we passed the ball. Alf Ben10 Edwards and Henry were trying to find space and move it quickly but we had little contribution on the left. Ojo was too deep and looked pretty lost. Standard of crossing was pretty terrible. Lots of effort and the defence is getting there but its not quite clicking through midfield.

Agree victory.
Ojo brings nothing to the party, he all he does is pass the ball back to where it came from.
In regards to midfield we just don't have any movement off the ball.
Edwards does make great runs to get in behind but this then leaves a gapping hole when it breaks down, this is why we need to get back to 4231.Hooefully Price is fit soon so him Coady and Edwards in behind Afobe.

No way will this team get promotion needs sorting quickly ,that midfield was terrible Afobe wasted feeding on scraps and I am on about first half when it was 11against 11we still dididn't do enough I have no idea what K.J. is doing but needs to sort it quickly

Edwards out for the foreseeable. Surely this means Price and KMac in midfield, which has been a winning formula in the past. Do we call for Lee Evans? Options on the wings and probably ALF and Afobe up front, 442. Much as I would like to see 4231 it was based around Edwards but RVLP could yet fill the gap.

Its Getting past a joke,this squad is worse than last year mid table at best unless he stops tinkering with side and let's them get on a winning streak again, McDonald as to come back in midfield only creative player can't keep playing coady and Edwards in midfield in my opinion together only one of them should play and with them both out tonight Wallace as to go there sako,s position as never been replaced the boy from Liverpool is not the answer done nothing Saturday cannot change things up front having not brought a player in strong enough up front to hold ball up have good players in LA Fonda and Afobe and young Bright but similer in there play ,VLP as to come back into the team as well and Henry the other player looks like we are down to the bare bones but I would choose from these players tonight for the midfield and striker positions
