We raised the same query as we left the Amex on Saturday. There were times the centre opened up for Stephens and Propper but they don't have the pace to make the most of it, nor do they feed those 'magical' through balls - either because they don't have confidence in their ability or neither Murray/Hemed or Gross have the pace or anticipation to get on to the end of them. The ball nearly always goes side ways for either: i) AK/Solly/RiskyHairDo/Izzy to get to the bye line and make a cross and hope someone gets on the end of it; ii) get AK/Solly/RiskyHairDo/Izzy to cut inside when near the box and hope something happens. I think teams are starting to figure out there's rarely that much threat down the centre.
We are all looking for probably two new strikers to challenge and offer something different to GM & TH . . . perhaps Sam may feel like a new signing if he can get up to speed? But I'd suggest we also need a centre midfield magician to challenge Stephens and Propper with something different. I sort of think Kayal offers the same as these two, albeit important to have fresh legs and a challenge for places.
Anyway . . .up the Albion !

Do we need to boost the numbers ?
