Rich,
I think he's as much of a striker as Gradel is, and he's been played in the withdrawn role a couple of times. He got himself into goalscoring positions in the box three times on Tuesday night, and scored with two of the chances. Like I said below, I'd imagine him more as the withdrawn striker in a 4-4-1-1 formation than as an out and out forward. As for Lees, I almost put him as center-half, as you suggested. What would your back four be? Cheers!

Bromby is a disaster ... Better to play Lees in his preferred position - centre back. Bates Out !!!
