One of my comeback lines to those who blame our strikers for the team’s problems is to ask them to list the number of good chances they have missed. For me, the bigger problem is that we do not create the chances for the strikers to miss. However, I thought that was a bad miss by Etete on Tuesday and it was definitely one to go on that list I talked about.

In saying that, Diedhiou, a striker with a good scoring record at this level at Bristol City, has come in and played over ninety minutes for us and, from memory, has had just one wild shot from a long way out which flew miles wide. I would not be surprised if it was borne out of frustration because I think he may be still waiting for his first touch in the opposition penalty area, let alone something that remotely resembled a goal scoring chance.
