Good point

If Middleton is a one trick pony it's not a bad one, is it? Get to the byeline & stick a cross into the 6 yard box, hardly his fault no one gets on the end of it.
We are a work in progress, as has been said, we've a good squad & should only improve as the season progresses.
I can't wait for Tuesday, good times.

From the little I've seen of Middleton he is definitely a great addition however there was at least 2 occasions yesterday were he could have got an effort away on goal with his right foot, instead switching back to his left to cross. We need to be more speculative in the final third instead of trying to walk it in.

Agree. You can see his full repertoire in this pre season match, playing on both left and right flanks, scoring 2 goals into the corners , also crossing with both feet plus a free kick off the bar.

I was also disappointed he didn't cut inside and shoot when he's clearly capable and would love him to be given the opportunity to take more set pieces.

As with all our attacking players, it's the end product that matters so we want to see some shots taken with a bit of venom.

I wonder if he could work down the middle, DBR?

About the same height as Billy, can go left or right, has a shot on him. Might be worth a try at, say, Accrington?

Why not. In the Exeter game, he also pinged a nice header just over the bar so he has all round ability and as with Moly, Gibson and Ajayi can rotate across the front line.

Playing as a lone centre forward is a specialist role.
Completely different skill set to being a winger.
