Genuine question; After insisting he wouldn’t play 2 strikers he played Molyneaux much higher up almost alongside George so you could argue he played with two up albeit one not being a specialist centre forward - to me it actually worked better and got more out of Molyneaux too.

He has to continue with 2 up top. Whichever combination he uses. Either Miller or Lavery needs to be one of them of course.
Hirst, Molyneux or Agard being the other. Of course he could play both Miller and Lavery as he did 2nd half v Mansfield Town A
If DS goes back to just one up top after yesterday then he is a complete idiot. If we all of the supporters can see it blatantly does not work with the players we have at the club at the present time and he thinks differently then he really is a complete fool and should not be anywhere near being head coach of a professional football club.

I thought it was an odd compromise, we lost width and put Molyneux in a position where he looked a bit lost and had Lavery sat on the bench and didn't even bring him on. He also pretended to play four at the back but Rowe and Seaman were sat in a five more often than not. We are desperate to play on the front foot - Wimbledon were pretty awful yesterday and even a half-hearted attempt at attacking them should have seen us being really comfortable.

Yes, i think he did.
A lot of our issues have been with us unable to hold the ball up long enough up top to bring in players like Moly and Hurst, this then leads to the inevitable of the opposition breaking forward and attacking us when we have tried to commit forward, our midfield cannot cope with pace through the middle and thus are defenders are always under pressure, this leads to us continually having to utilise all 5 at the back which then stops any forward momentum from us. This then finally results in the defence lobbing in long balls for the unfortunate forward to loose out on again and thus restarting this same process, over and over.
A self imposed perpetual problem all because the manager wants to use 1 poor, isolated and totally outgunned forward on his own usually against three big, strong nasty defenders who know what's required.
Bringing in the additional forward creates a more level playing field, we have more of a chance of building an attack and the defence gets some bloody relief!!

LM played very narrow against Harrogate as well. The system is really two 10s behind a 9. The 10s then drift wide.

It won't happen but I'd like to see Tommy Rowe in the role Mollyneux played, would be a much better option. Would score goals too, seem to forget he was our top scorer not long ago.

Not a bad shout but we have to give Lavery a chance. Did look quite lively in that Mansfield good spell with Miller. Feel a bit sorry for him to be honest.

I think you mean Brown and Seaman, Tommy was part of the back 3 but did push on at timed

I’ve always thought TR could do a job in a much more forward position. He has a strikers instinct.

TR is not suited to play in a front 2 imo.
Play in the hole behind front 2 yes. Or a left midfielder or centre midfielder in a 3
