We can scour the world for a half back for 20 years and i still don't think we'd sign the right person. For me it's not about a half back coming in and dictating plays and suddenly we're a well oiled machine. The coaching/tactics this season seem to be more the main factor to our downfall. If you watch us in attack our back line is flat, we have no space to move or create chances. There is no chance of pulling off a double off. The amount of times teams just track Ratchford joining the line as the 3rd pivot and then tackling him as soon as the pass goes out is worrying. A half back hasn't got the time to tell each player where they should stand as a play of the ball happens, it should be instinctive/coached into everyone.
Add this to the pack under performing and inconsistent squad choices and recruitment (how many 1 year contracts have we had in the last 3-4 years?) and you have to worry that any half back is going to struggle to create chances.
It's right that we look for that spark because Brown has been a poor stop gap, however, unless we sort out or structure and momentum, said spark will soon become frustrated, and either try to overplay and cause unforced errors or become frustrated and another mediocre player.
BUT at least we have a big screen now eh?
