This is going to blow your mind, but Nunez isn't a number 10 either. In fact he's less of a number 10 than the other two. |
He's not a 10 by choice yet he is more creative than the other 2 and that is what counts at 10 | | | |

Oh okay, sorry mate, I must be wrong because of one game of football. |
Weve won a couple game 4 1 with nunez as the 10 too. |  |

Yes, Cajuste would be a good option. Think he could shine there. |
Except for some reason, he can't shoot which is a pretty important contribution from an effective no 10. |  |

I'm not sure about that, under McKenna we've mainly created chances from out wide (hence all the assists for Davis) rather than through the 10. Our most successful 10 in that time has been Chappers and his main contribution was bagging 40+ goals over 2 years rather than getting bags of assists. |  |

Could is the interesting word
Cajuste could play 10
Humphreys could play 10
Nunez could play 10 |
All 3 of the players are CDM’s. They all play better in a double pivet
Sammy and Akpom are far better 10’s |  |

Would be nice for one of the local journos to finally ask McKenna about this. It's bizarre. Rest of the team is working really well |
Probably too busy talking about what they’ve had for lunch. |  |

You do realise Nunez could have scored his two free kicks for us if was playing in his usual CM role, right? | |

Indeed however taylor has been solid so doesn't require replacing by nunez in the cm role
Akpom however has not been solid. So yes nunez should start. You then have the added bonus that hes on the pitch who could then score a freekick or two. He can't do that sat on the bench you then also added more creativity in the 10 area which we simply do not yet via akpom. And we never got from Sammy s. | |

Apart from his two free kicks, he's not done much playing as a 10. Probably because he's not a number 10. He doesn't give us enough goal threat or ball carrying ability for that role, imo. I imagine there's a reason he's played as a CM for the majority of his career. | |

You're saying hes not done much yet when hes played he has created chances.

He might not be bought to play that role but he's the first player we've played there who has looked remotely effectively. |  | | |

My eyes agree with yours in that I've seen Nunez create a good deal more while on the pitch. Have quickly checked if they've deceived me: per 90' Nunez averages 3.51 chances created, xA 0.25; Akpom 1.76 chances created, xA 0.03; Szmodics 0.81 chances created, xA 0.05.
Akpom's specialty so far is winning a FK in the middle of the pitch. I wish he'd release the obvious passes when they present themselves and do so quickly, as well as take his limited shooting opportunities far quicker. I backed him to be our signing of the summer so this is all the more disappointing. | | | |

Akpom has been a shocker. He looks like a fish out of water. He wins free kicks in irrelevant spaces in midfield because his ball control is good, but anywhere near the danger area he offers nothing. I couldn't believe it in the first half today when he was in space 20 yards out & played a pointless pass to Walle rather than taking on a shot. |  |

I actually go to games, mate. At Town too, not Leicester. I'll not be talked down to by a Leicester fan who catches the occasional Town game on TV. | |

Thing for me is both Sammy s and akpom joined the club after their last champ seasons bringing them an absolute crazy amount of goals. They were goal scorers.
Chappers was always hit and miss as a scorer so he was moulded into one that does a bit of both with us but he really tried to spray the ball around quickly. Nunez is the closest to chappers. Not the scoring aspect but the way he tries to play simple balls but also those excellent defence splitting passes out wide.
Akpom Sammy s get the ball and try to get past players. Most of the time failing to do so but occasionally winning us freekicks.
That 10 role and our issue on the right is why we may fail to get promoted this year. | |

Does make me question how far behind Cam is
Taking a place in the squad, stars are aligning in his position and he's not played a minute |  | | |

Of course, but someone has to get the ball into space for the likes of Burns to run into to get the crosses or cut backs in, that was often a Chaplin role, (Burns being not so great at beating his man one on one) | | | |

It helps when the opponents leave space for wingers to run into as well, something we've not had much this season. We're also creating chances this season in decent numbers, we're just not taking them. Partly because we don't have a Chaplin in the 10 getting on the end of moves. | |
