No Ollie, no party?

Pre-season hypothetical:

How would we line-up if Mr Norwood was unavailable for selection through injury/suspension. He seems integral to us playing our preferred system and I just don't see anyone in our current squad close to being able to fill in if he's absent.
I think the closest we had was Coutts before his departure and Lundstram is now being touted as some sort of 'enforcer'.
I don't see how we can play our system without another 'quarter-back' option.
We seem to have a few options for the 'Duffy role' now, but the lack of cover for Ollie concerns me.

It would be interesting to see Lundstram there so we can measure his progress properly.

But realistically, we need a signing in this position.

It would most likely be Ravel.

The way we play is quite unique though - last year, Ollie and Egan were often the furthest two players back. I've not seen much of Ravel - can he perform the defensive side of this role?

Got any suggestions Ricky?

No woman no cry.

I'm hoping there are two Ollies, not just the one !

If Norwood is unfit then Bash or Jags or Lundstram into his place.

That's another fine mess you've got me in ! Sorry couldn't resist UTB

Lundstram has been taking that position and doing pretty well TBF.

Seems a big step up though

.................Lundstram
...................Morrison
Duffy/Freeman.................Fleck McG/Robinson/Les/McBurnie

One up top, Lundstram and Morrison sharing the Norwood job. Everything else the same.
