After tonights meeting 3 confirmed still contracted for next season Young,Little and Danylyk
he'll be a very good midfielder for us - doing the unglamouress, dirty work in the middle.
Well if this Danylyk's role then what is Robbies?
I think if we want to progress (don't get me wrong i'm happy with 15th) this is where the change needs to happen. Replace one of them with a ballplayer(just need to find one now!).
Robbie Lawton is the only player we have across the midfield who can mix it physically in the conference. We missed him big time when he was out. He's had a bit of stick in recent seasons but I think everybody would agree that was due to the circumstance of playing out of position on the right wing. He's a decent conference midfielder.
I think we're wishing a bit with all this talk of a midfielder who can put his foot on the ball and still hold his own (Carmo&Craney). I don't think they exist in the conference, not at our level and rate of pay anyway. We're at out best when we can hassle and harry the oppo midfield enough and get the ball to our ball players (Little, Johnson, Densmore, Doughty, Smith) or over the top for Senior or Denham.
