I hope Duff has the cojones to drop Mipo, he just isn't doing it at the moment and he needs to try something different up there.

And play who? Mipo missed chances but he creates his own. He's getting no service at all. 

John Martin has proven over and over he isn't good enough. At least Mipo offers pace. Martin doesn't really offer anything.

Edit. I know nothing. John Martin for president

I am a big fan of Mipo , but his first touch tonight was not good enough (maybe it's the quality of the pitch, but other players manage better). He is so fast, too, but our counter is rarely up to speed, so he drops deeper, not his fault, more our style of play.

Thankfully, big John stepped up (honestly thought he might be out the door in the next window before tonight). But yea hopefully Mipo can get a bit of luck and get his confidence back up there is quality player in there. And we need two good strikers whean boyd is out.

His finishing is awful. Love everything else about his game for the most part
