Doak is the difference

I'm not getting the Doak love in yet. He's looking promising but nothing more. He has pace, he has skill. He's not put in as good a performance as we've seen from Jones in the past yet. Hopefully they start to come but he looks a decent player.

McGree is the man making the difference in attack, and Azaz is beginning to shine a little brighter because of it.

Although I agree he is positive and frightens defenders but I would argue that McGree is the difference.

They both are the difference without McGree it doesn’t work because of the balance and threat he poses on the left side and without doak we’d be less potent and dangerous down the right and without Mcgree doing his thing on the left it would be easier to deal with doak and just the one threat but it’s so hard to look after both flanks

I agree with @Corcaigh_the_Cat that McGree allows Azaz to shine.
 
Azaz is more effective in the central role with Mcgree left. Doak was mostly double marked and he will get a lot of that going forward. He seemed to limp a little as he came off, I'd have taken him off a little sooner. Hopefully nothing

Azaz isn't shining yet for me. He's steady and not a bad footballer, I would just like to see him speed things up a little. He quite often slows down our attacks by taking too many touches. Hopefully it'll come. Carrick obviously rates him highly.

I can see him going on a goal scoring spree with McGree in the team.
 
I said tonight that Doak sometimes needs to pass the easy ball can’t be taking players on outside all the time comes inside easy pass we end up scoring
 
Doak got studded down his thigh in te first half, I think he'll get more of that and teams will double up on him, but that should leave space for others.

I thought that last week but then figured I criticise Jones for passing too much. I'm just happy we have a player who wants to run his full back it makes so much difference. in time he'll make better decisions especially when he starts to know his mates.
 
Doak is doing what everyone praised Jones for doing two seasons ago - running at defenders, taking them on and using his pace. Every club, and we are no different , love a winger attacking the opposition full back. Traore, Jones and now Doak. For some reason Jones stopped doing what he was best at.

Keeping McGree fit will be the defining thing this season. He completely transforms this team

He was brilliant in the build to the goal. He starts it all off receiving the ball on the right and then finds space in the penalty area. No Albion player tracks him.

I'm surprised manager's aren't assigning a player to man-mark him as at the moment teams just can't cope with his movement off the ball.

Tonight, two men went towards Doak every time he got the ball which freed up another player. We nearly scored from this when Ayling found acres of space to cross for LL header, only for the keeper to pull off a brilliant save.
