To say Britt was as bad as akpom today is pretty laughable in my opinion.
He cost us a goal by not clearing the ball and managed to fashion himself one chance in the whole match. Unfortunately that chance was on his own goal.
He did not hold the ball up once. He didn't get anywhere near the ball for any crosses. He didn't make any decent runs to be picked out by a through ball. I'm not sure where the idea he works hard comes from as the only effective pressing I saw from a centre forward was when Britt pressured their man to put it out for a throw.
I am not an Assombalonga fan, but his all round play is better. Akpom has recently been invisible or on this occasion costing us the game.
Hopefully he is either unsuited for one up top or struggling to adapt to the championship, but there's no way I'd start him ahead of Britt at this point in time.
I'd love for us to make a clever little signing like Nugent in January as we need someone up front. We lack both a Tomlin and a bamford, a Ramirez and a Nugent, a vossen or a kike even. Someone to play in the hole and someone to lead the line and even win a few headers.
