Virgo doesn't have a striker's instinct? 5 goals with the amount of possession we've had in those games gives the lie to that.
It's a real shame people can't see the gem we have here but frankly, who cares, McGhee does and Virgo is the first name he puts on the team-sheet these days, I challenge anyone on here to deny that.
It's too early to say after having watched him twice, but Claridge looks like the fulfilling the role that Knight plays in the team rather than Virgo's targetman role - he doesn't seem to have the physical presence of Virgo.
This weekend we will probably play the formation that did so well in Sunderland, which was only undone when Jarrett, a player who can't defend, was brought on and promptly two goals were conceded down his wing. That, I'm sure, is a lesson McGhee will have learnt.
