In theory,when you play with two holding midfielders,they generally don't get ahead of the ball,but last season Crooksey didn't play that way and wasn't frightened of getting forward.
Hence,teams struggled to match us.
Also Windass's pace meant one forward became two very quickly.
It's no coincidence these lads got decent moves,they were excellent.
That's the problem,the system is the same,but the pace brought by these two isn't the same.
I would definitely (at home) encourage at least one central midfielder to attack more,which in turn would allow the "three" to interchange more.
A 4-2-3-1 can soon be a 4-2-4 if the ball sticks up top.
Just need to be more positive and Billy to catch fire again

To play 4-2-3-1 ideally you need 2 quick attacking wide defenders and an adroit interchangeable front 4. With a centre back at left back for example, it would be too defensive. However systems are not always key, it is more how the players apply themselves as you alluded to. The 1991 4 3 3 when Beck and Grimshaw was playing wasn't bad.
