The main problem is that the defence is poor, and keeps making bad mistakes. I honestly don't think a back three works,
especially when teams play a 4-3-3, there is no spare player to cover when a mistake is made. I also don't think it helps that
Grimshaw is poor on crosses and in my opinion, is too small, I would be looking to get another keeper in January.
We would look so much better with Gabriel, Ekpitta, Pennington, and Husband as back four.
I honestly don't know why Critch persists with the current formation, especially as we only have one central midfielder Dougall
who can play with both feet, we are lacking a left-footed central midfielder as Morgan, Weir, and Casey are all right-footed. As for Virtue
the problem has always been he is injury prone and unreliable.
I would play 4-2-3-1 with the back 4 as mentioned above, with Lyons playing for Gabriel until he was fit, Norburn and Dougall as the 2
in midfield, Dembele, Carey, and Anderson as the three and Rhodes up front.
