Well actually it relies on a midfielder becoming the extra attacker, rather than having a player like Barnes, who has actually played up front in his career. And over the last couple of weeks since Barnes ulloa has been isolated on his own and by all accounts getting very frustrated.
For all his detractors, Barnes was the perfect foil for ulloa and looking at CMS, he is more a chase the ball/man type player, we don not know about Rodney yet, the spuds bloke looks a bit rubbish and Hoskins will be that Barnes sort of player, but we are still not sure how he can come back after terrible injuries.
Certainly we are set up for 1 up front and I haven't seen anything in our signings, apart from Rodney that makes me thing we will change it.
Barnes mainly played well as a lone striker. Very very average as a wide player. In either role, his goals to game insufficient. Let's give CMS a bit more credit. He was never given a chance by Gus in the way the latter played him. I agree that Dave 2 might be the answer. Outside chance for Hoskins. I suspect all 3 will do better than Ash if fit.
