Can't blame Raynes for those 2 chances he missed. After all, should he be played up front for the last ten minutes when Kitson was sat back in midfield?

I was ranting to no one in particular on that subject as I left the ground. I find it hard to believe that three managers all think that DK is most effective, in home games, as a midfielder. Therefore I must conclude that it us DK himself who believes that's where he should play. If that's true then I'm worried.

I assumed it was more that Kitson was tired, battered and bruised and wasn't able to contest in the way Raynes did.

The problem is wilder built this team without any creative players who can pick out a pass and also built a team short on fire power so here's your choice play kitson up front along side your only striker and hope that your midfield create a chance or play kitson deeper and hope he creates a chance for your now isolated striker. For me if your going to play kitson deeper then he has to play a diamond formation with Kitson behind a front 2 for us to stand any chance of creating a scoring chance

Isn't it obvious that Kitson is best in midfield. He is our only creative central player, put him up top and you lose that spark that he has.

Said in the other thread, my guess is Waddock wanted to push people forwards but didn't want Raynes or Wright in the middle. Raynes did a good job. I think the York players would have paid a lot more attention to Kitson so it's not as clear cut as you might think. I dunno if I'd have DK with only one other midfielder. Maybe in a 4-3-3 or behind two strikers but that makes it awkward to include some of our other good players, who play as wingers.

Raynes was our most potent striker. I don't know if I should be depressed by that or not.

If I can be Frank. Yeah. Raynes took up 3 good positions while our main striker was elsewhere. His finishing showed why he wasn't a striker, but nonetheless he ran about a bit didn't he?

Central midfield is the first area the rebuild needs to start with.
Distinct lack of creativity, pace and cutting edge have been the issues in centre mid for a while. At least Kitson could put his foot on the ball, make a forward pass and he tries to link up play. Yes I would have liked to see him up top, but with the current centre mid options I can see why he plays this role.
This is not a reflection on Ruffels, he is an up and coming player who has developed well this season, more a comment on the others who have played centre mid this year.

It's all well and good saying that Kitson is composed and comfortable on the ball etc,but in yesterday's game it wasn't necessary, it was more necessary to have 2 strikers.beano had no support. Wroe and ruffles I'm sure would have been fine without him in there and would have benefitted more from having an extra striker to pick out
