Putney Canary 0 Posted August 18, 2005 He plays him there for now (and last season) because;1. He wants two strikers on the pitch, and hucks isn''t a striker either2. Hucks will drift left anyway, if he is part of the front two this results in a massive gap between the strikers (hucks by the corner flag, deano on the penalty spot)3. Certainly last season we couldn''t afford the luxury of having a player in a free role. Left midfield was the best compromiseI expect we will play 4-3-3 later in the season when we are a settled unit, this was very effective 2 seasons ago and will be this year. I still favour the 4-2-3-1, but maybe Worthy has a good argument against it.I don''t think Bentley is a winger either, for pretty much the same reasons as Hucks. Can we afford both in the team?
