    Hopefully this new signing will offer the manager added dimension to our play. We can then play Ashley down left wing, wayne down the right wing either Carew or gabby down the middle with 3 centre midfeild players with pushing through to support the striker. I would like that midfeilder pushing through to support striker as petrov with salifou as back if petrov does not work.
