Why play two defensive midfielders...

Because we have been shit defensively and the way to start getting results (I know we didn't yesterday) is to stop the goals going in the wrong end. Bar a deflected goal and a comedic 1v1 they created very little.

Imo we need to start with ogrady, once he came on we had someone we could pump the ball long to and hold up the ball, it's not pretty but we don't have the ability up top anymore to play out from the back.

Kevin Keegan once had a philosophy that if you score more than the opposition you won't lose.

Playing with CMS on his own up front with limited support from a pedestrian midfield ain't the way to play IMO. I don't mind losing, but I'd like to see us at least throw people forward when we attack/counter. We look utterly toothless and have done for months...
