The first goal was really poor but I don’t think Howes had much chance with the second
:lol:

Brynn is comfortably pushing that shot from Ollie away. Vigaroux is catching it.

No way should that be going past a L1 keeper.

Kemp and Khan are midfield players, can’t see how you compare them with O’Neill ?
Ollie sounds as if he plays similar position to Kemp.

Not sure what Khan was.

Ollie is basically a winger who likes to cut in, whereas Kemp does not play on the wing.

I don't know Ollie but in his very eloquent interview, he said he also plays as a 10.

Kemp played wide left in the first couple of games for us. He had no pace and it was clear that it was not his best position.

Ross signed him because "there is three or four positions where he would fit into our system".

Kemp must be playing in his best position now as he has 15 goals this season

Have a look at the available footage on him he’s a winger, however I’m sure he would like to be a 10 but that’s not what he’s been brought in for. He is there to replace Graham, and to help cut down Theo’s minutes on the pitch.
