We do, however, get into a lot of crossing positions and end up recycling the ball as there isn't a striker in front of goal.  Just saying.

Was watching his highlight reel for us last night and have to admit, I'd completely forgotten how good he was at those poacher style goals.

We could really do with that sort of conviction given how limp we look inside the box at times.

We don’t really create the chances for poachers though.

Yep, it's one of the reasons why I'm not keen.

Watkins has managed 35 shots on goal so far this season, one and what a beauty from outside the box. Even Malen managed 16 in the few minutes he played. The chances will continue to come, it's up to Tammy to take them.

I guess due to the cost of travel nowadays it will affect our PSR, so we’re walking there and back, hence the delay.

We do a lot of getting into the traditional crossing position then, rather than knocking into the 'danger area' the full backs pull the ball back for a player who has effectively stood still to create space for themselves. Quite rare we play a % ball in.

But he's a different player to those two and less likely to create those sort of chances. We could bring Sterling in and say the same but it wouldn't be because some players rely on cutbacks from the byline and having really good positional awareness.

In the majority of opportunities both Watkins and Malen relied on our midfield supplying those chances. Why would it be any different for Tammy (other than we're struggling right now to put a midfield together)?

Indeed, but some can control a pass.

My memory of Tammy is that he wasn’t particularly adept at this either.

Same. It's not a good idea IMAO.

In your arsehole's opinion?
