... are needed. I think most would agree that Brown needs to start, and now Boyd does as well after four goals in a few days. So how about trying to sort out the glaring central midfield problem by putting McSweeney there (where he could do a good job), dropping Sweeney, and putting Brown wide right, with Boyd up front alongside Behan or Bjornsson?
If Hartley is injured, Austin looks a good replacement.
The squad is supposed to have strength in depth - now's the time to prove it.

I wasnt at todays game but there are obviously problems with how we are setting our stall out during home games. Some people keep saying that we just need the players to gel or that we have just been playing 'top' sides during our home games but both of these appear more like Chris Turners excuses than anything else.

Our players have obviously gelled away from home! We were up against a supposedly poor side today and mustered a draw. The excuses are wearing thin. We lack creativity and Ct should just come out and say this. The high ball tactics are clearly not working although it maybe helps indicate that we do not have a creative midfield who can play their way through the opposition.

Anyone can see that Hartley is not a left back, even Chris Turner will no doubt see it soon. The one time we actually have a player who CAN play left back and he is sat on the bench.

we are a very good team when we have to sit back and soak up pressure. We look massively lacking in ideas when we are at home.

Boyd looks like he needs to be playing, looked very good today. We also need to start playing the ball through midfield more

Agreed but until we get some creativity in midfield during the home games maybe we should play Brown there.

He's possibly the best player, let alone the best forard, but Turner has to pick a team that wins using his squad as best he can, and this would allow him to have Brown AND Boyd in the team without them both trying to do the same thing up front. But no, I am not right ... I'm radged, me.
