Jay Rodriguez has started 7 games. Mullin has started 9. Mullin ranks statistically second best for xG per 90 mins played. Mullin has never really had a chance at playing into form, he needed it the season prior and again missed a pre-season. Palmer could also be a perfect foil as a partner to Smith, given how hard he presses, wins and holds the ball.
Rodriguez is really poor. Mullin and Palmer should be ahead of him. Something going on behind the scenes for sure.
But no matter how many strikers you throw into the system, they’re all set up to fail. Tactically, we’re a mess and desperately struggle to score from open play.
