Gayle..who else. Yeah not a natural goalscorer I heard everyone say after the Villa game. I said he'd be knocking them in for fun. 11 in 13 games. He could get 40 if he doesn't get injured all season.
He's bulked up quite a bit by the look of it Gayle over the summer, still don't think he'll cut it in the prem, or he already would have but definitely goal machine in the championship. *But, had we had Gayle last season instead of Perez and Mitro we wouldn't be in the championship.
Good result. Another away win. Some people may quibble about tactics and team selection but you can't argue with the results. That's why Rafa is the man making the decisions.
That is exactly what I said to my bro tonight. He does nothing else but out the ball in the net. Now Shelvey looks remarkably like pedeo.......... Nahhhhhh
It's a classic game of we took our chances and they didn't. But that's happening a lot now. It's looking good. The confidence is high and the performance is a good one. I worry now though where is mitro in all this.
I think 2 things about Mitrovic not playing right now: 1) Rafa is busy shaping him into the player he wants him to be, mostly in terms of temperament and focus, much like he has done with Shelvey 2) Rafa is keeping him fresh for later in the season On top of that, it is pretty hard to drop Gayle right now. Rafa obviously sees them as competing for the same position.
Seeing as Trev hasn't pulled his finger out yet.... My entry for the headline game is..... Barnsley Chopped to pieces by teeth
