Wintle is a "6" a defensive midfielder in today's parlance, he is not an "8" a box-to-box CM in old money.

Ralls is an "8" and was a very good top end championship "8", but he is not as instantly comfortable with the ball as Wintle, his first instinct is to get the ball forward even if it means giving it away, whereas Wintle is to shuffle it on.

Siopis is a thief, he steals balls but his incisive passing highlight reel is even smaller than him. He is never a 6 in the championship.

So for me its Wintle and two far more attacking players probably Colwill and Turnbull

Wintle and Sio should work in a double pivot but plainly does not

(IMO) Ralls is still our most effective midfielder but father time is catching up but we look better with him and Sio as two traditional CM's with a 10. Playing wintle in that position instead of Ralls hasn't worked. When Wintle looked good, there is a visible gap between him and the two CM's in front of him.

Also with Bulut being into inverted full backs moving into midfield do we even need a "6"?
