West Bromwich Albion boss Alan Irvine feels Brown Ideye has suffered in the shadow of Saido Berahino's success.
Ideye has struggled to make an impact since his August arrival.
"He is doing OK but Brown's competition is Saido," said Irvine. "You're looking at partnerships and people who can play together.
"I'm not saying they can't play together but they're both of a similar type and they're at their best going in behind people.
"Unless you're going to play quite a direct style, two going in behind isn't very effective.
"If you're playing against Crystal Palace or Newcastle with the way they play, you're not going to get an awful lot of space in behind.
"Brown is suffering a little bit because of how well Saido is playing and I don't think people would be too pleased if I left Saido out to play Brown."
