Really good post by @Sona.
Think it's clear big Ron wants powerful, mobile players with ability to pass and hold the ball. Of the current crop only Ross has the full compliment of skills required, but we all know he needs to find more aggression to be able to play deeper.
Of the others Barry is hampered by age as is young Tom Davis, but from the other end of the spectrum. McCarthy is fully exposed in the technical requirements, Cleverly is just not powerful enough either in pace or tackle and Gibson just can't be relied upon at all.
I think we may see Ross playing deeper in a midfield 3 but only when Ron believes that he has 2 others he can fully rely on to cover and control the midfield area the way he wants.
On another note the front 3 will see some changesas well. Rom can't hold the ball up well enough for this system and both Geri and Miralles need to show more consistency and tenacity.
It's going to be an interesting month to the close of the window.
