Cockerill and Cunnington were fantastic going forward and defending, pity we can't get 2 like that now, then again i suspect they wouldn't be on the pitch very long these days......sadly .

Cockers scored more as i remember, whereas Cunninghton's poor shooting (almost always shot over) was probably his only weakness, although he still weighed in with the odd few. In both their cases their strong running from midfield created chances and goals.
As far as Clifton and Hessenthaler are concerned i would say Harry is more like the above two (although obviously not at their level) in that his positivity and attacking drive from the midfield on occasions creates chances and/or scores goals. Hessanthaler doesnt really offer much attacking creativity, but is the 'tidier' deeper player.
If we are to have these as a midfield 2 then we need proper wingers for creativity, especially after signing green and hansen, who are going to thrive on crosses i would have thought.

Unlikely amount surely? Not even sure Donny would go for him, much as we lov him.

Cockerill snd cunnington didn't offer much going forward, but they were a strong pairing
They both scored around half a dozen goals a Season

The 2 signings so far suggest to me seem to signal a statement of intent if nothing else then in terms of wage structure being altered I can`t see either being cheap in League 2 terms ? Really hoping these are the first of half a dozen or so quality signings and I just wonder who is agreeing to bankroll it?
i think the next couple of signings may well be the test of what is or isn't happening. If who i'm hearing is correct then there may be something to what you're hinting at!

Yes it`s true the jungle drums are beating a loud positive beat so much so I expect to once again be a season ticket holder come August but for now I will wait and see what occurs?UTM

I know a lot of your fans liked to critique our style of play - Jolley is clearly going with a target man, so will get the ball forward quick - Your fan base be happy with that? You will effectively play like we did 1st season back in the league. Even though we had Akinde last season, he is far more mobile than Rhead was for us, and I imagine Hanson.

I think you're wrong with that analogy, if you see the way Hanson plays he likes balls whipped across the edge of the 6 yard box, so I expect us to play the ball through midfield and out to 2 wide men who can deliver decent crosses. As for Green he links play and holds up the ball up well, all I'm hoping is Jolley drops the obsession with the 3-5-2 and goes more 4-4-2 or 4-3-3... And you are right we did critique your style of football but, for as much as it pains me to say so, it worked incredibly well for you...

It was the diving, cheating and outright gamesmanship which we particularly didn't like. Rhead and Akinde both culpable in this regard though Akinde (pen) obviously has other strings to his bow as well. Thankfully, Jolley doesn't advocate this sort of thing, unlike the Cowleys who it seems insist on it.
