To be fair Bakayoko tried that from the start, did it against Charlton with his goals where he held it up and laid it off then got himself into the box.
There was more of an understanding between him, Bright and Hiwula I thought as they were all making runs off each other into space.
The pitch also plays a part, you can see us try that at the Ricoh with 1 touch passing but it turns into about 3 touches trying to control the bobble or predict what height the ball is going to be.
Bakayoko is improving all the time and definitely has something about him.
It fits the profile of many of our players that one week they have Robins rubbing his hands as they implement what he's been coaching them and the next week he's tearing his hair out as they do the complete opposite.
It's frustrating for supporters too but when it clicks it's great. All we can do is keep getting behind Robins and these young players.
Might sound bizarre but I liken the attributes and career Bakayoko has about him to obviously a very poor man’s Didier Drogba.
Drogba was a late developer taking time to be made anything near a finished article that finally clicked to be a very good striker, quick, big and powerful, good in the air and a great strike about him.
Similarly like Drogba both are taking time until early twenties to establish much of a threat about them.
Bakayoko if given the opportunity and love of MR and fans with the right application could be some player at championship level. The next 2 season are big for him and his career.
*Clearly he highly likely won’t have the same career as Drogba and could go the same way as Mathieu Manset equally
