Our frontline as a whole is suffering

From not having built up an understanding with each other yet.

Tzolis and Rashica have been incisive, but not nailed the final pass (or whoever they've passed to wasn't set to receive it).

Pukkis just on the end of that.

There are signs it's improving and you've got to hope that once they're all a bit more familiar with each other's games it'll start to click.

Thought Dowell was quite anonymous yesterday, but in reviewing some of our best play, he was often involved in the buildup.

I don't think rushing in Idah or Sargent is a straightforward answer - but might form part of the solution.

Having Normann in and firing feels like it's going to be needed whichever formation we plump for.
