I was thinking this the other day... when we signed them wasn't Roly a DM and A-Rod a b2b CM who liked to get forward? It's as though Ernie has swapped them.

I really like how Roly plays further forward.  His first touch is usually pretty good and he manages to get a turn in in some pretty tight spots.  Would much rather see him doing this in the opposition half rather than ours.

Yep, but I don't mind A-Rod doing this either.  

Wouldn't hurt to have one or two variations up our sleeve, just in case we go on, say, a run where we can't score a goal for love or money...
