To be honest, in our last promotion campaign he did the same for a run of games

Came into the side second half of the season, scored and assisted a number of classy goals.

Any time he's had a decent run in that central position behind Pukki (which is really just that run of games and now althogh this is only 2 games) he's done well.

It really is staggering how wrong Smith was getting it with some of the tactics/selections given its really obvious stuff.

We look better with our central strikers playing central, with a winger on the pitch, with Dowell in the middle and with Kenny finally playing with more discipline in the holding role and with Sara in a conventional midfield position. We would have thought it. I expect Nunez to improve again now also.
