I feel for Tammy Abraham. He only comes on when the game is done and the better players have been subbed off. Obviously you wouldn’t pick him ahead of Watkins at the moment but maybe his presence on the bench is a factor in Watkins improved form recently?
He’s desperate to have an impact (so desperate in fact he tried claimed an assist for Konsa’s goal).
2nd half was a Bodymoor Heath training session, in fact it probably wasn’t as tough.

Trinity, I also feel for Tammy. He was never going to be our striking option. I think he was a wake-up call for Watkins, and it looks like it has worked. I think it is an absolute disgrace the way Harvey Elliott has been treated. He may be a victim of who controls the purchases; however, if it was Unai Emery, then it is even more disgraceful the way he has been treated. Of course, most of us respect Unai; however, on this occasion, there are, in my opinion, no mitigating circumstances that could make the way Elliott has been treated acceptable.
The poor kid has never been given a chance. Many of us saw him in the Under 21 winning team, and he was one of the very best and showed his quality. He is showing his class by keeping quiet about his treatment. I just hope he goes on to show Emery how wrong he was.

Dave, we were talking about Elliott last night, I agree, the kid must be wondering what's happened. But if we can get to the final, and especially if we win it, at least he will have something to show for it. UTV
