When Yengi started after Bishop got injured we scored 8 goals in 3 matches (and conceded zero). When he gets back from Qatar he in my opinion should go straight back into the side because it’s important we pick our best team so we actually go up this year. If Bishop starts kicking arse well that’s a different story but if he isn’t doing that well in my opinion Yengi should start when he returns from international duty
I'd love to see your reasoning that we would not have scored 8 goals in those three games with Bishop in the team. Given the couple of chances Yengi missed I would say there is every chance we would have scored more.
And Bishop played in one of those three games anyway, replacing an ineffective Yengi at Shrewsbury in the 3-0 win and one of the goals was scored after Yengi was replaced.
Bishop only missed two whole games, and yes in one of them Yengi deputised very well against Bolton (after a poor opening 20 mins), but that does not suddenly make him a better choice for the lone striker role that Bishop has played so well for a season and a half scoring more goals than any striker we have had for a long time.
Yengi is very promising, we are lucky to have him, but at the moment Bishop is streets ahead of him in every aspect of the role. IMO dropping Bishop would be an act of complete and utter madness.
