Cross in from Tierney there with nobody in the box except a late-arriving Palmer. Hard not to feel like we lack a focal point without Dykes. 

We’re not playing the Dykes game though.  We’re not asking McBurnie to be a target man.  We’re asking him to score when being setup. Both Griff and Shankland would be better options right now.

I'd imagine that regardless of which role he's been asked to play, he's still being asked to score when he has clear cut opportunities.

Well of course, but we'd far rather see Ryan Christie get 3 clear cut chances in one half than Oli McBurnie. That's what the system is designed to do and McBurnie is playing his part in it well. His role in the team doesn't seem to be understood as well as Dykes' for instance.

He's a fucking centre forward who has had two glorious chances on the penalty spot and made a c**t if both of them.

But that's ok, because the system is designed for Ryan Christie to have had those chances instead.

If McBurnie is getting those chances instead of Christie, then somethings not working and we have to look at why.

Yes, McBurnie should have scored! But he's playing well despite that!
