So who drops out of the midfield 3 for Downes...... 10:36 - Sep 21 with 5185 views | Bloots | ....to come back in? There is little doubt that he has to start once his body/mind is ready. I'm sure we all hope that Shambert doesn't change the shape of the team to accommodate him. Dozzell and Nolan have proven their worth so far, so it really only leaves Bish. Doesn't it? Maybe I'll do one of those poll things. |  |

We simply don't have a like-for-like for him in the squad and we're so clearly set up to have that deep lying playmaker with Nolan and Bish looking to break lines in behind/ pick up off the front man. It's an embarrassment of riches, to be sure, but we cannot afford to lose AD at the moment. |  | |  |

So who drops out of the midfield 3 for Downes...... on 16:43 - Sep 21 with 384 views | RobTheMonk | Nolan has really stepped it up. I think he's benefited from have Dozzell in the team as Bristol trying to stop Dozz play, enabled Nolan to drift into space. I thought he did brilliantly with his intelligent movement. My description of Nolan used to be 'anonymously tidy'. He's really beginning to have a positive effect now though. Dozzell is finally starting to look like her can perform which is great for us. Bishop was quiet against Bristol. I think Downes may come in if only because we know what happens when Bishop plays too many games. And then there's Huws. That's 5 decent options for midfield and there's also El Miz waiting in the wings (as well as Skuse). |  | |  |
