Interesting. However I still think that it is shot conversion that is the issue

We are very poor at this which is why it doesn’t feel like we are clicking. We are the best team at creating chances but finishing has not been clinical. This doesn’t bode well for the prem where you need to take your chances.

I think Farke has also tweaked his system to prepare for the prem should we get up. We no longer play a pure ‘6’ in midfield (a ball player) hence Leitner’s exit and Vrancic being used as a 10. We use a 4 (Skipp) and an 8 (box to box) Rupp / Kenny. You are not going to see Vrancic back in midfield (famous last words). Like I say though this hasn’t really affected chance creation.

We do also miss the mercurial talent that is Stepi who has a wonderful understanding with Pukki
