Echo News Southend United boss Phil Brown set to decide on future of trialists

Depends- PB has a historical preference for a 442. Even then worrying about getting overrun defensively in MF and so playing one out and out winger with a more defensive wide player on the other side. So doubt your attacking CM is a priority.
I see what you are saying but we could end up sitting to deep..... I feel we need attack minded CM who prepared to break the lines. Ryan Leonard type of player.

Lenny is though not a "creative" MF. He's a high energy combative CM that you need in a CM 2. As was Timlin, Ogogo and Dunne are more in this mode. A Jack Payne is more the creative midfielder but unless you are playing 4231 or 4411 its difficult to fir him in the side. Holmes could play the free role behind in these formations (a couple of the trialists too, and maybe Bridge) but I think the norm is likely to be two up top.
