This suggests that their attacking play needs to be improved, with a focus on creating more quality chances.

The outcome of the match promises to be less than positive for the team, which is awaiting a complicated away game and has some less than comforting attacking numbers: only 0.25 goals on average per game in this tournament.

The adaptation of Chris Willock with the new jersey has not been the best. He had another disappointing performance in Cardiff City last game of the season, against Middlesbrough. In the clash, the midfielder failed to be effective and did little for the team. Despite the good expectations for the player, his performance is starting to worry.
