I missed the 1st game but watching this one on YouTube.
As regards the CM's - I know we signed James Bailey from Burnley, I thought I'd read he's a winger? And thought McCormack was a CB? Are they both actually primarily CM's, or just able to play there?
As with many attacking players, Bailey can play multiple positions. To me he actually fits better in a central position as he’s not that quick or athletic. Very good close control but not the quickest running with the ball.
Kind of like Fitzgerald and McAllister, McCormack can indeed play both in defense and in midfield.
