Players like Palmer, Styles and Brittain are looking for someone to target - but there’s no one there.
The only option open to them is to pass through the channels hoping the speed of Oduor or Frieser will latch onto the ball.
Passing forward to Woodrow is unfortunately a waste as he’s neither got the speed to go passed a player or the strength to shield the ball away from a decent centre back.

Once all the players are back and up to speed - and if Marcus is able to form a team - then we should be able to beat anyone in this league including Bournemouth.
We just played Bournemouth at the wrong time.

But currently - when we play the better teams I’m not expecting much change in the results until that pivotal position is filled.
Fingers crossed Obbi is fit soon - and importantly he is able to fulfil that roll.
Unrealistic Nudge in my opinion your expectations .
