We do have that player but he was at full back.
Last home game Murph made us all forget about losing Proccy and for me you need him as part of that middle three. Hughes and Barnett play the same game and there isn't room on the pitch for both of them.
Thought we played better when moving from 4-2-3-1 from the 4-3-3 we started with - the problem in the first half was getting the ball between the halfway line and their penalty area because the 3 up front were all pushing onto their backline and with the knowledge that neither hughes nor joyce are ever going to make that bursting run through the middle it's easy enough defensively just to mark the pass and leave the man.
