1 ... McBurnie. Fantastic signing. 2 ... Coyle. Great crosses from our skipper. Message to the guys in north stand who call him out all the game, get a life. 3 ... Giles. Just for the fact of him being such a changed player. So many others could have been in the top 3. Lundstram being one of them. Our team certainly looks to be in this a one.
Five points for first choice, three for second, one for third. McBurnie 196 Giles 71 Coyle 65 Lundstrum 50 Joseph 25 Egan 14 Pandur 5 Hadžiahmetović 4 Gyabi 1 Hughes 1 Big target man upfront who can both score and assist? Check. Two attacking fullbacks who can create chances with quality crosses? Check. Midfielder busting a gut to get into the box and onto the end of knock-downs? Check. What's happened to tippy tappy, fanning about at the back, before either losing the ball on the halfway line or hoofing it into touch? Barely recognise this City side this season.
Thankfully we seem to have ditched the Chuckle Brothers ( to me, to you, to me, to you) Football Manual
It's not been totally ditched, we still get it down and move it side to side at the back, its just done in a more pragmatic and rounded way depending on the opposition, vs Oxford for example who sat back we played it round at the back a lot, against Southampton who tried to press us hard and dominate possession we did it a lot less. One thing that's a massive help is that when we are doing it and not really going anywhere we have the presence up top to get it forward and have a chance of it sticking
