[Exile on Spencer St]

I don't think any player is beyond reasoned criticism but Conneely did much better last season when he had Crooks as the more positive midfielder alongside him. Brown is a great 'terrier', breaker-up of play, but there's no-one looking to make the decisive pass forward*.
What puzzles me is that we have SIX midfield players but Davies, Hewitt, Lacey, and especially Hery rarely seem to feature. Is it because we have six players that are basically the same style?
For a brief spell at Leyton Orient, before he had to fill in at left back following McMarmite's dismissal, I thought Lacey was just starting to play a more positive part in midfield. But since then, it's been the Conneely-Brown pairing for the most part.
In Brown's enforced absence, will Professor Coleman act on his words about needing changes and bring in M.Hery so he can to show his erstwhile manager just what he can do? (I doubt it, somehow).

*of course, if there's no forward standing in or running into space, there's little option but to pass sideways/backwards.
