But the quality of striker is much better in the prem. A league one striker puts a league one keeper and defender on their ass and cooley slots home. The finish is just as good irrespective of the level they all play at.
I agree, but you cannot compare Hardie with a Premiership striker, or the Wimbledon defenders with a Premiership defence.

However, IN COMPARISON, the goal reflects well for the first division striker.

What he was saying is if it was in the Prem Hardie would not have scored so you can't say it was a Premier League goal. Defence wouldn't have been beaten by a through ball in the first place

He is looking more confident and long may it continue.

Last season he would have squared that ball to Jephcott I'm sure.
Against Sheffield Wednesday he could have squared it to Jephcott for a certain 3-0 goal but decided it was his chance to take. He took it with the outside of his right foot and it was saved. Jephcott looked part stunned, part mortified.

Those two had a great relationship last season and I hope it doesn't suffer because they don't seem to be teeing each other up for tap ins like they did last season.

Look at Wilson just before he received the ball. Already looking whose was available upfront for a ball in behind

class
One of the reasons Hardie did so well in his loan spell as George Cooper had the ability to 'pick that pass' so he could use his great pace. A team high on confidence and all the players contributing..... Team looks in excellent shape and in the next weeks we are likely to have good options of the bench with Cooper and mayor.... All bodes well

This is my concern also. Jephcott looked aghast when Camara didn't pass to him when in a better unmarked position as well during the game.

It has been stated that there are defence bonuses to be won for those in defence, I hope that the fact that there may be strike bonuses for goals isn't affecting Jephcott's ability to score when others are in possession and decide to go for goal themselves.

The point is it’s the type of coolness you see often in the prem but rarely in league 1. That’s the view of my Chelsea supporting mate anyway.

That happens at all levels of football, several times in every game.

Lukaku went mental at Alonso yesterday for taking a shot instead of leaving the ball for him. Strikers are greedy by nature and want to take every shooting chance themselves, but any disagreements will be forgotten about straight after the game.
