I think you put him there for the last four games and don't move him. We need stability in the stretch run. Injured or not, Russell is not getting it done. DeRo gave the Quakes a spark in the Open Cup vs LA when he subbed Russell. We obviously got more dangerous offensively and waaaay more creative.
Regardless of whether Ian is in the equation or not, this is something that I have wanted to see, at least as a try, for sometime.
