I've not seen a proper fluid & complementary strike partnership since Hemed-Baldock. Wilson is difficult to play alongside due to his limited experience and Bobby & Hemed seem a bit too similar and don't link well. I think we lack movement up front with those two.

So, if Jiri is playing as a no. 10, we have some new options! I'd play him behind Zamora and then bring on Wilson or Hemed when Bobby is done.

I think we'll start to see the better James Wilson now he's over that bug. Wouldn't be surprised to see him score some goals the next time he gets a run in the side.

Also, Hughton clearly prefers free-kicks & corners to be in-swingers as Stephens and Knocky have been alternating kicks on either side. Seeing as Jiri takes the Czech set-pieces, I think we'll see quality from both sides now - Knocky in-swinging from the right and Jiri on the left. Hopefully we'll be a little more dangerous from set-pieces now
