I'd like to see us play two 10's as this gives us a chance to see Burgess and Singh together with Williams up front by himself, I think it could just well work.. 

Doesn't work tactically, will leave us weak in the middle imo.  Interesting to see if Burgess keeps his place mind!

I don't think this is true, if anything it will mean Mandi and Rufer (being our midfield core) won't be required to push up as much. We will still have the same numbers in the midfield as most weeks, but with the added engine of Burgess to help out defensively where Singh doesn't. The real strain would be on Cacace and Fenton, they'll have a far higher usage offensively to provide width if we just use Williams up top on his own with Singh and Burgess in behind. Overall I'd be in favour of this, and if it doesn't work we have a very different plan B in Sheridan. 

I'd be keen for Rudan trying that out (Burgess and Singh) as long as Williams is not swapped for Sheridan as the plan B. Swapping Singh for Sheridan might be a better plan B option.

I am actually OK with trying that out (Burgess and Singh) as long as Williams is not swapped for Sheridan as the plan B. Swapping Singh for Sheridan might be a better plan B option.
