Colclough is our best player in 1v1 situations. If I was to have one of our players running at the opposition full back then it would be him.
Duffy crosses early, shoots from distance, and has a good right foot to say he's a leftie. I think the way to get the most out of Duffy is to pack the box and order him to cross cross cross. Not typically the Cook way.

Agree with Colclough but my concern has always been what happens once he's done the defender, generally he always has the ability to get to a position where he has the opportunity to have a shot or make a cross but that final end product is not always up to the standard of what preceded it.

Agreed, and he just... doesn't seem particularly fit? I'd have been fine with him leaving but I'm not gutted that he's staying either.

Agree. No doubt 1v1 it’s him or Dobra who are best in class. He always seems to be stretching out his calves and hamstrings during games and looks laboured to me. Still a great player to have particularly off the bench.
