The reason is simple ... the pair lack consistency !
Shola could raise his game to destroy the Mackems, but why didn't he play at that level week after week?
And Sammy is no better.
We all know his ability, but we only see it one game in three or four.
Top players produce the goods on a regular level, and that is why Sammy has never been regarded as a first team player, because he drifts in and out of matches.
Sammy Ameobi (talking to the Chronicle): “It’s been a great few weeks.
“I’m really happy that I’m getting to play. Hopefully, I can kick on from here.
“I’m playing for my career, a contract. I’m just working week in, week out.
“Hopefully, I can play against QPR and put in a good performance against them. We’ll see how it goes.”
