I think Cox wants a really combative central midfield, not sure Byrne fits into that sort of thinking. Need some creativity from somewhere so I could see the left/right backs pushing forward. I do worry that we will be a one dimensional scrap and hoof team the coming season. But if it gets results I don’t think many of us will complain too much.
Saying that I’m really disappointed if Shane’s description of contract negotiations is true, I would have had him down as the one player we should have done everything to keep. I now don’t have any hope of keeping Elliott.
