tends to prefer a 3-4-2-1 formation with a nine and two tens. They’re flexible enough to use those tens as wingers and have on occasion gone with two central forwards. The latter is ideal for Waine who has been doing his thing mostly in two-striker formations with the Welly Nix, though it could take some time to adjust to playing as a lone nine. Here’s another testimony from his new manager...
Steven Schumacher: “He can play on the shoulder, similar to Ryan Hardie, he's good with his back to play and linking up, probably similar to Niall Ennis, and he has got really good movement in the box, which is similar to Jephs (Luke Jephcott). What he hasn't got is Sam Cosgrove's 6ft 4 heading ability, but he competes. If he competes and puts himself about he has got a chance of getting on the end of crosses.”
