    This is more of an observation than a criticism but surely with players like JCR and De Silva we should create hell of a lot more than we do. Yesterday saw a sublime finish, a shot from distance that was pushed onto the bar from DeSilva and the move of the match that ended up with Kozzy firing over when well placed. Out of 90 minutes that was about it as I can remember.

    I dont see our problem as just being unable to finish. For me the final ball often leaves a lot to be desired.

    Completely agree and been saying that for a while now. I do suppose it also needs intelligent runs though from the forwards to make other players want to pass them the ball in those areas.

    But does Maken get into the correct position for a pass to be made, for me he drops far too deep. On the other hand Riirters makes the correct run's
    and looks to cross/shoot at any oppertunity.

    Its a difficult one really because if we break quickly our wide men are sometimes waiting for someone to arrive in the box. Its usually defenders that get there first unfortunately. On too many other occasions were just wasteful with possession and the final ball is pi55 poor.

    I'd go along with that, for me we don't create enough chances for our front men.
    Apart from Odejayi, our other strikers don't really miss many chances, and most of Odejayi's misses come from chances he's made himself with his strength and pace.
    The problem is we've no natural left winger, apart from the inept El Haimour so no chances get created down the left.
    The cemtral midfielders aren't really attacking midfielders, they like to play deep, so we're too often relying on JCR to create something.
    Sort out the midfield in January and I reckon the strikers we've got will start scoring a few more.

    Odejayi does get chances though in every game he plays, so he must do something different to the rest. What we need is a goal scoring
    Odejayi. We probably have the best midfield since I've been watching us all we need is fire power and movement
