I think you’ve pretty much nailed it there. The current squad mixed with the old system gave us virtually no goal threat. Three ‘industrial’ midfielders behind one striker who either isn’t mobile, stays outside the box or doesn’t have the instinct of Rooney. It doesn’t really matter how good the delivery of the wingers is in that instance. The 16/17 team as you say had the perfect balance from midfield to front. Then add in a more potent threat from shay Logan, set piece threat from Taylor/considine, and a top keeper behind them. I miss that team.
