He absolutely was always going to play well this season. Same with Gallagher.
Nothing at all to do with playing a few games for Chile.
He was in good form last season.
He was also playing second fiddle to Arma.
Now he has left, these 2 decent strikers where always going to improve.

I get it does not suit the narrative. This destroys alot of peoples arguments that Mowbray only makes bad decisions. And that boring argument that was rolled out for 2 seasons about how much we paid for the 2 lads.
I am glad they did, as we certainly could not bring anyone of that quality now.
