If you were to take off a wide man and Kodjia and leave Davis up top with Hogan, and Grealish in behind, you'd have the makings of a very potent threat. Formation wise we'd go from 4-4-2 to 4-3-1-2.Those three would play together as a unit whereas with Kodjia you get a one man band, albeit a very good one!!It would give us options.

I'm really not sure that Bruce is the manager to get Grealish and Hogan firing in that formation.I'd rather see something like if we need alternatives:DavisGrealish KodjiaHourihane Whelan Snodgrass

I think he's a pretty hardworking player normally.
Did Hogan so much as touch the ball when he came on? Compare him to some of the similarly expensive Wolves signings, it would almost be funny if it wasn’t so fucking embarrassing.
Wouldn't shock me if he hands in a transfer request.I know he's on a huge amount but no way can he be enjoying his football as much as he was at Brentford.Just cut our losses, he dosen't fit into our style.
