Which roles still to fill this week? 08:44 - Aug 29 with 1424 viewsSheffordBlue

The Athletic recently published an interesting articles breaking down how different roles can be classified. Given McKenna has said we are in for 1 or 2 more which roles (rather than positions) are we in for?

That's pretty much it.

Perhaps someone with slightly different skills to go in the two behind/beside the centre forward? We have technical skill (Aluko), determined goalscorer x 2 (Chaplin, Harness) and pace (Jackson), perhaps add a battering ram, to charge through defences with the ball at feet, awarded penalties if brought down? Can't see any point in a target man, we don't play like that (and, in any case, that would be a CF, not a "No. 10").

Good Lord! Whatever is it?

What role is Dom Ball best at? Morsey or Evans? I can't recall seing him play.

Using the Athletic roles I think Dom Ball is a Builder, Evans a Distributor and Morsy is now a Box to Box midfielder.

I think we might see Ball come in for some of the away games against better opposition where we want a really solid base.

But with the quality of balls Evans can swing into the box, a Daryl Murphy-type mobile but strong Centre Forward would be having a field day. And a young Darren Bent would be on for a 30 goal season!

Colby Bishop or Cole Stockton would have improved us.

Won't take much to compete with Ladapo. Poor to be honest.

From what I recall my QPR-supporting friend telling me, he's the type of player who will give everything when he's on the pitch, get stuck in defensively, and will look to keep it simple; probably closer to Morsy, but much less box-to-box (the fact that he could cover at centre-back if we're pushed probably explains his game)

Somewhere between Cole Skuse and Flynn Downes, then?
