Not sure a creative midfield player would fit into the managers system/team ethic. We don't play through the midfield but instead work it long and sometimes wide with the keeper usually but not always kicking. Much better teams than rovers manage without a creative midfield player,possibly or arguably liverpool the european champions. Perhaps, but once our midfield get the ball now they are not that creative. If we had someone in midfield who was when they got the ball perhaps they would use it better. I take your point but Ive always said because of the system GC likes we won’t get much width any time soon. He will expect the FBs to provide that. UTG!

Everybody loves creative players in midfield but such players are often viewed with suspicion by managers. Classic examples include Glenn Hoddle and Tony Currie. Their are very few players like Paul Scholes who can both dig in and split opposing defences with a pin point pass.
GC has set his team up in defensive mode with the objective of accumulating points. His strategy is about conceding very little at one end and nicking something at the other. It's very understandable when the principal striker is injured.
Look at the L2 table --- his strategy is working.

Someone in the mould of Oxford player Cameron Brannagan would be ideal in January.
