Madine will be good in a 4-5-1. It will allow him to remain central and get support out wide from two quicker players in JJ and hopefully a new left winger.

I would guess he if he does play 4-5-1 then Coke will be in the first team instead of Sedgwick who played there tonight

Where was Rob Jones?

Also interesting to see Reynolds on the bench. Maybe he has a future here after all?

I think if you swap Jones for Reda then you have a decent back four there.

Time will tell with Madine, but i dont rate his hold up play much. Some might scoff at this, but we'd need a Dion Burton type player who can control the ball, lay it off, and help build the play. Madine is raw and can get his head on the ball, but he's not got the technique to link play from what i've seen so far.

Rob Jones woke up with a neck spasm, so was rested as a precaution.
