Outside of honest graft, it's difficult to see why Weds and Huddersfield are so high up the table, it's also bloody annoying.

I'd be more disappointed to lose him than Kodjia.

I'd be more disappointed to lose him than Kodjia.I think Hogan will be much better for us than McCormack but he just strikes me as a finisher from what I saw in the Barnsley game and we're not great at creating huge amount of chances yet.I prefer forwards who can create chances for themselves and Kodjia is great at that so I'd continue with him upfront on his own.
