Thought Theo and Miz were poor. Yes, they saw a lot of the ball, but it doesn't count for much if they can't use it properly. They were responsible for the corner 1-2 where Theo had to let it go out for a throw because Miz played a short one straight back to him in an offside position, which was comically bad.

Despite clearly being nowhere near fit enough, Agyei showed the difference having a winger with pace and the ability to carry it forwards makes. He caused Rovers issues immediately, made us far less predictable and won the free kick that got us the point. Graham being out for the season shows that the most important signing we can make in January is another winger, preferably a right footed one who can cut in, so that we have some more variety in our attack..

We had 3,8 shots on target pr. game last season.

So far this season, it`s 3,9. We are creating a few chances, but we need proper number 9.

The thing with Graham for me is that, yes it may not always come off, but he offers that creative guile, flair and trickery that we don’t have at all in this current side.

Case in point at Northampton away where he was a menace all night but his delivery was poor. However he is capable of unlocking defenses and he finally did it with the assist for Forde. I don’t see that in the current side

Don't think any of their players would be any better rated. They were pee poor too. Poor game all round.
