i would like to see Leadbetter as a LEFT sided attacking player.... the thought of him cutting in from the left into the box with his pace would upset a few defences Just give it a go during a game, what have we got to lose ? Not one of our wide men,* midfield or defence, is two-footed enough to leave their defender guessing as to whether they're going to go outside or inside, it makes us very predictable. *except Bennett if you count him, but then he doesn't seem to know what he is going to do, either.

We’re already overloaded with wide attacking players that cut inside because they’re incapable of playing on the side which is their strongest foot. I wouldn’t mind seeing him right wing for a game though, at least he would give us some width up front.

I think Bennett would actually be really useful playing in the centre of the pitch just behind the striker. Problem is, the same probably applies to Nichols and Sercombe

Personally, I think we are missing a couple of players that find the game “physically easy.”
In an attacking sense we have a lot of players are similar. We need a few that have raw power.

But why can't he be told to hug one of the sidelines, surely he should do as instructed by DC not how he wants to play. What next Lines decides he want to play as a striker even when picked in midfield!

We did not believe we could beat Gillingham until they went down to 10 men, so one of the missing ingredients is belief - time to put a hypnotherapist on the payroll along with some of the rest of the backroom staff who have made such a difference.

Or sign an Elliott/McChystal type leader in defence and Rammell type striker upfront? Walsall's Andy Cook would have been just what we needed.

What I don't really understand is why we get forwards in on loan but don't use them, Telford last season, Jakubiak this season, especially when the two loanee keepers have been such a success, why bother getting them in if you don't use them. Tammy Wynette might have got the she teds into the playoffs if he'd have stayed fit all season.
Surely the reason bigger clubs loan players out is to get them game time and experience, if we keep on not playing loan forwards no one will want to loan us any because they won't get that experience.

What next Lines decides he want to play as a striker even when picked in midfield! Don’t know the reason for it but every time we had the ball on Tuesday he ran in to the middle looking for a pass. I was pulling my hair out watching him. Second half was a bit better but whether that was down to DCs team talk or not god knows.

Other then the obvious - a decent owner, visionary CEO, we miss a Gary Penrice figure. A brilliant scout can make a bang average manager look good aka Holloway

Cook was on a free in the summer and I reckon he would have come here. I reckon we could do with another winger (or two), a striker (or two), a right back, a dominant centre back and an all rounder central midfielder. I don't expect all of those this window and would prioritise the winger and strikers.

Unlike my computers, our football team is not currently working very well and i suggest a small change like that would make a difference without the cost involved. We play other players out of position to great effect why not Leadbetter..... we did it with Bodin i believe

He still wouldn't be able to deliver a cross - like Haldene before him flattered to deceive - all the pace but no end product with his shut your eyes and hit and hope. I cannot understand why our wide players can no longer seem to be able to pick a player out with a cross

I do think one issue is that the team is set up for overlapping full backs but partington,martin and kelly just cant quite manage that role. dan leadbitter can do it but has been erratic with his crossing and with his previous injury problems its hard to select him saturday/tuesday. Leadbitter`s crossing was never his strong point, but he used to get a few decent ones over per game. Not this season. He seems to overhit everything. The ball ends up in the beer garden of the Wellington or the Civil Service playing fields, depending on which way he is attacking. I don`t know why he doesn`t make more use of his pace to get himself into the box, try and draw a penalty from a defender.
Mix up his tactics a bit.
