After all, he does see these players in training each day.
He has already said that JR, LK and MM are the same type of player. We need a target man alongside them, someone like Chris McPhee - who clearly isn't yet ready for 90 minutes.
If he really didn't think it necessary to play Virgo up front, he would have moved him back to defence in our current injury situation and not resorted to playing a full back at centre back and two central midfielders at right back.
Quite.
After all, we're 16th at the moment, taken 14 points from the last 8 games with very limited resources.
MM knows better than us what he's doing. He sees the players daily in training. And as for Virgo, he's done bloody well. OK, he's a defender by choice, but he's been a very good target man, and has got a mean shot on him.
Leon has got to get on with it (which I think he is now trying to do), and not moan about 'playing with a defender as a strike partner.
