Ball isn't in the same team though. I'm not saying he WILL succeed. I'm saying, Don't throw the baby out with the cold bathwater. He's with us. He isn't going anywhere so, give him a chance with any new formation which doesn't depend on him being the lynchpin up front.
I will admit defeat if this doesn't improve him and I'm sure the doubters will come on here apologising if he does the biz.
