Message: [QUOTE="Powellfan, post: 5330690, member: 4819"] On paper I think I like this lineup the most. Hottle would add some speed and shiftiness, plus he would be a good passer out there. Anderson could add the physicality and could be a real matchup problem if he draws a shorty. Birtwistle is a proven commodity who will put the ball in the back of the net. It’s a good balance all over the field. That does leave Deere and Kellogg on the outside looking in, though I’m sure they will rotate them all early in the season. I say “on paper”since perhaps Kellogg has made more strides during the offseason than Hottle. Maybe Anderson isn’t quite ready but Deere is. We shall see! I do like that Rhoa and Birtwistle will be split up. Their games just remind me so much of each others. Birtwistle perhaps a better in close finisher, Rhoa a better dodger. But they are both pure goal scorers (just look at their assist totals). Again, better balance if they are split up. [/QUOTE]
