We have nobody picking up the loose and second balls in midfield and in front of the back four.
Is Jamie Allen the player we have been missing for the last few weeks?

Im not sure hes the answer but i think he should be used more often than he is being especially in games where we are leading and or struggling with midfield duels and battles .. he puts himself about and rarely lets us down
Allen is great at doing that for a game, maybe 2. Then he'll spend the following game chasing shadows.
Jamie helped turn the season around last year. His return at Norwich and for a few games afterwards helped get us back on track.
If he is comfortable after is sad loss, then sure bring him in.

He’s really not the answer anymore. I’m not sure he ever was to be honest. He has a good game now and then but for the most part is not at the required level and games largely pass him by. Not good enough technically or physically.
But you cannot fault his work rate and he always puts absolutely everything in.

Jamie Allen brings energy to the midfield, hassling and hurrying opposition players, and he's a reasonable passer. He's not an Defensive Midfielder though. He won't win duels or dominate midfield, or screen the defence. I don't think he's the answer. He's an 8, like Torp, Eccles and probably Rudoni too. Oneyka is a 4, and is what we need.
