Very decent performance away from home - but didn't take our chances - need a couple of strikers asap - mind you we have known that since the close season - enough said!
What did he do about it?To be fair, we were struggling to finish our chances when he was here.
I'll back Big John as much as anyone, he did some good things tonight but was so frustrating in the box, at this level he needs to gamble, which is how Walker has scored several times this season. Walker has proved he can score and be a real threat at this level, but we created no chances for him tonight, the combination with JA didn't actually work. MApp needs to work out what he needs to support Walker, neither Payne as 10 nor playing off JA as target man seems to work. Payne alongside seemed to work v Sunderland but that's 'cos they were poor?Back four were solid enough. And Morrell and O'Connor did there jobs. Up top is a problem. Not really getting in behind. Only danger came from Bruno. Walker has to play through the middle. Akinde doesn't make any runs or hold the ball up well. Payne scampers around alot with good close control, but absolutely no end product and eventually gives the ball away. Anderson does what it says on the tin. Grant delivers a good pass and dead ball.
So in conclusion. We need two better forwards. One that can hold the ball up and be mobile. The other who doesn't faff about with it and has an end product.
Roll on January. Until then I'll take nil nils.
I reckon Grant is a better option in there. He can pick a pass, that might just create a chance for our one forward that knows where the net is.I think Bruno in No 10 role might be worth a try
at least bruno has a shot with either foot. but might get crowded out in the ten role - as payne does.I think Bruno in No 10 role might be worth a try
Home form will be key between now and January.

Shame that after this coming Saturday we've not got that many games at home
