DK doesn't seem to have the 'presence' of Chuks or Mbick but he has got pace which might well be useful against slower centre backs or if TC has to go off early........

Works hard aswell pressing the defence. If Campbell did have to be subbed and it was DK & MG up top, defences wouldnt have a moments peace.
Mbick is a swap for Aneke, and Kanu is a swap for Godden. Godden is much hotter right now than Kanu, M’bick is more of an unknown quantity. With the Aneke situation it might be that Dixon travelled as well for the Wrexham game, another quantity unknown to Parkinson.

Kanu looks quicker than he did when he first broke into the side but I still wouldn't accuse him of being pacy.
Kanu's had a real sliding doors season. That match with Birmingham at The Valley he got paired with Godden in the 442 box formation and it looked like a perfect partnership. Kanu did the heavy lifting in terms of pressing up front while our midfielders man-marked their players out of the game and that created space for Godden to get on the end of the chances we created. We beat the champions that game but he was injured right after and that formation never looked right again without his hard work up front. From there we eventually landed on our current set up with width and a bit more pace and there's less of an obvious key part for him to play. You have to wonder how different things would have been if he hadn't got injured and the box had continued to work; not so much for us as it's worked out pretty well but for him and his overall progress

His running style makes him look slower than he is. His long strides eat up ground quickly though.

Agreed but if they do see him as a bit quick it'll mean they'll have to worry about covering him rather than coping with him one on one.....? Still it's good he's become available again given what's happened with Chuks.
Kanu's had a very stop start season. But looks like he'll get some game time with chuks suspended and gas seemingly out of favour. Jones likes him cause he works very hard for the team, but crucially he has that ability to pop up in the right areas to nick a goal. Been a bit unlucky with innocuous injuries this term, but hopefully can contribute something in the last couple of games. He seems like a very grounded young man and a good character. COYA
