But we're not shipping goals

in the last three matches - leaving aside Costa's "goal" - we've let in 3 against Leics, Chels and Swans - which is hardly a dreadful record given the opposition, and 2 were away from home. The problem in those games has been not scoring ..... It's time to start with Bamford, just to see whether it'll make a difference. Who knows whether it will or not, but the current model is not working.
