now we've signed Chris O'Grady?
Will Cloughy change formation slightly to a 4-2-3-1 and play him behind the lone forward allowing him time to hold up play higher up the pitch in an area where defenders won't be so aggressive in closing him down (mainly due to the presence of O'Grady or whomever will be the forward) affording him time to dictate from there and float around between the lines of the defence and midfield giving him slightly more time than he would have playing as the 'false nine' to pick a pass for our other attack minded players or create chances for himself?
Or...
As he's done this year at Preston(?) and that's stick with our current formation 4-1-2-2-1/4-5-1 but play Baxter behind the midfield duo in a sort of defensive midfield position in the hope he can collect the ball from deep and use his vision and passing ability to dictate play and create chances from there.
