The partnership of John Marquis and Marcus Harness have fired on all cylinders since Kenny Jackett made the decision to a 4-4-2 formation that’s bearing fruit.
Marquis is starting to look the player he did at Doncaster where he forged a reputation as one of the deadliest marksman in the lower leagues. He’s bagged five goals in his past three games.
Harness, meanwhile, has also plundered five since being converted from a winger and being pushed into a central role.
There’s still plenty of the season to go but if they keep up their form then they’ll be in contention for the League One Golden Boot come May.
But how do the bookies rate their Marquis and Harness’ chances of winning the gong? Click through the pages below to see Sky Bet’s current market.
