Also- I think Old and Garbett get in each other’s space?
Based on club experiences I’d look at having another defensively strong midfielder and pushing Garbett to that LWF position. Old can then have an impact off the bench…
Hmm- though Just/Waine/Kosta are all also not chopped liver.
Long story short I’d like to have Rufer there! Southgate ain’t wrong and Chief wasn’t wrong until Melbourne.
Maybe
Crocombe
Payne Boxy Bindon Cacace
Bell Stamenic Old
Singh Garbett
Wood
Which leaves Cacace and Payne providing width, so Bell/Old need to cover their respective sides. Again I’d be worried about our midfield getting in each others way. I’d want Bell and Singh dropping deep to get the ball and to keep it moving.
And about Old dribbling from deep. Though that’s what’s potentially great about him too.
Alternatively:
Crocombe
Payne Boxy Bindon/Surman Cacace
Bell
Singh Stamenic Garbett
Kosta Wood Waine
Leaving impact subs McCowatt/Old/Lewis/Just
Probably with Payne and Cacace not getting as far forward and looking to hit early crosses some of the time with Singh and Garbett getting into the box late from midfield.

Playing 12 will help.
I was a little worried at first that it might make things cramped, but apparently the pitch is on the larger side.
Hmm Garbett/Waine? Which is not ideal. I much prefer the balance of the 12.
Or alternatively Bell/Stamenic which makes it crazy attacking.
