Campbell has again found that flair and attacking prowess he had in 2019. In 2019, he seemed to be very isolated on the wings than as CF. But in 2021, it seems like Kah has helped him adapt his playing ability both on the RW and CF, knowing that he has the strength to cut toward the inside and get those opportunities on goal. His strength alone is one of the top for strikers in the league and has been using it very well for an advantage against smaller defenders. Happy to see Campbell and Díaz both in the golden boot race (plus Bustos and Heard is just in the periphery in striking distance). This squad has major depth where scoring can happen anywhere on the pitch with contributions across the XI. Good news for the final push for the play-offs.
Depth has been key. I think it's to every PFC forward's benefit that on any given night, the goals could come from anywhere. If Campbell and co. get a bit of extra breathing room because defenders can't sag off their assignments across the pitch (or have to keep their heads on a swivel for other scoring threats), that can be the difference between an open look and a contested shot.
I think Campbell and Díaz are lucky to have a midfielder like Aparicio, too: a few times now, the sheer power of his long-distance strikes has led to fumbled saves and second chances (and goals!) in the box.

It's been so fun to watch Campbell come to life again. He looks like a different player out there (well like the player he was in 2019).
