I always have sympathy with our strikers with the sheer lack of creativity in our side. They are left to feed on scraps or create their own chances. Midfield is the biggest problem. Give Chris Wood the service and yes he will miss a few but i've no doubt he will score goals. He's proven it season on season.

Hope we really go at leeds tomorrow, a win could transform our season.
I have been watching this in the last few games and I am starting to think a bit differently, watch when our midfield pick up the ball, there is no movement ahead, we are absolutely static up front, so the midfielders naturally turn and look for someone in space behind or at the side of them.

We had the ball in the box a good number of times in a few of our games, when we haven't really played that bad, but we aren't even converting that into shots. That's the difference from when he is on form.

Cornet, McNeil and Lennon up front: three wingers, eh. I remember in the late 70s, we hammered Sunderland away in the FA Cup with three wingers up front: Morley, Kindon and James.
I don’t judge players by what position players are supposed to be in, merely by who is offering a real threat.

However, should other players finally find their form....

Cornet and Lennon have played the best up front out of any of our players this season. Both good technically and quick, so can play there - but unfortunately lack the 6’3 frame to play with out long hoofs upfield.
