    When was the last time he scored with his head or either foot?

    To be fair Swiss, that very clever stepover at Huddersfield has been responsible for 50% of the goals we've scored this season.

    I think Twine will play behind Jay Rod with two wingers and offensive midfielders all trying to score goals, trouble with that idea is we will also concede especially with the way Muric plays.

    Problem is, the risky way Muric plays is not producing any more goals than Pope just lumping it upfield did, although it has increased our possession stats. Problem is, 70% possession is not producing any more goals than 30% possession did. Still it's early days, I'm sure we'll get there eventually.

    That's good BT, however, his antics haven't cost us up to now, just wait until it does and hope that it is not at the Turf because the toilets won't be able to cope!

    Never mind, comfort yourself with the fact that, at long last as far as many are concerned, we have joined the brigade of teams that can complete at least 20 passes before managing to get the ball into our opponents' half of the field. Remember that possession is the most important thing in football ---just look at Man United yesterday, they only let their opponents complete 33% possession. That was 4% less than they allowed their opponents last week. So 65% possession over the course of two games, they must be doing well, except that they have only scored 1 goal in spite of having 32 attempts.

    Never mind, it will all iron itself out and we will have been entertained with lots of passing football, particulalry involving the goalkeeper et al. Interesting that Benson was seen as the answer after his one half against Luton, however, he turned and passed backwards on Friday more than Dwight ever did, however, not one fan complains about that ---how times change.

    It didn’t escape my attention sub , ( Benson ) after they clattered him for the third time his game was over , however they were a very big physical side who did there utmost to not allow us space down the flanks and in the channels between full back and centre backs,

    In fairness they did a decent job on us really because we didn’t have the goal that would have opend the game up , they were comfortable against our forward line and wide players.

    They actually reminded me of a organised Burnley team not too many seasons ago , I guess that’s the thing about opinions in football , if there fans are happy for the team to spoil and sit in then so be it - we put up with it for a long time - used to bore the pants of me mind.

    What we save on the Senna Pods mon ami, we can put towards the eye-watering Leccy bills we're going to be getting soon, it all helps. It should be a long term saving as well, VK is a disciple of Pep, so we can expect Muric to be running our midfield for the rest of the season. Entertainment guaranteed, for his sake though I hope he doesn't cock one up during the Panto season. You can just imagine the comments.

    What is certain though is that sooner or later he's going to give a goal away. I might start taking bets on how long we have to wait. My bet guess would be........not long.
