How about dropping Ross back into a Central Defence/Sweeper roll so we can fit Tim Brown and Richard Johnson into the Midfield??

Agreed - we need someone to take charge, and CONTROL the play from nidfield to our back line. Aloisi cannot be present everytime, and this is where we lack the foresight to cover him, when he is playing so far forward. Someone get control of this back line.
Another thing being that yet again, because of lack of control, we are being caught [too often] being square!

Wasn't impressed with O'Dor. He dropped off his defenders a couple of times, one example was the goal disallowed due to offside. Again I think this is a trust issue, and isn't helped by conceding so many goals.

O'Dor at least has a decent turn of pace with which to rectify his poor positioning

O'Dor has potential, but Old looks out of his depth every time I see him at that level. He tries hard but he just seems too slow, both pace and reaction-wise.

I agree not a bad idea, if Clebo is fit, drop Ross into right back and bring Brown into midfield.
