The losses in cup competitions with weakened teams have maybe distorted things a bit. Since December in PL2 we've played 8 , won 7 , lost to a better City team, scored 17 conceded 7 , 5 conceded in last two games. That's a pretty impressive return in any league given the changes made by promotions to first team and loans.
Although we're 2nd top goal scorers behind City , nobody has really stood out as a goalscorer (except Niasse of course!) and it reflects not only past weakness but the club's desire to fill weaknesses that the young forwards offering the most promise are the ones we've bought in in the last 9 months, DCL and Sambou, and I think we could have added Donkor to that if he hadn't been injured. Sambou has been a bit of a slow burner . Unsy had him in his sights this time last year and suggested he was a future PL player when he bought him from Coventry in June. He's had to bide his time with the likes of Duffus, Dyson and Henen being played ahead of him early on , it will be interesting to see how he plays in the last few games. At 19 he looks promising .
