He does everything right apart from finishing and at this point he's become a bit of a scapegoat for everything we do on the pitch, same with Keane. I feel sorry for him, and hope he gets a move where he can build his confidence again. Amazing that after we hear from Dele all about the struggles players have with mental health that people still feel comfortable going after this young man in that way. No one deserves it, particularly a young man who clearly does his best and wants success for the club like all of us do. If he does play next week I hope he absolutely smashes it.
He's a striker...his job is to score goals... you're saying he does everything except his job...
 
Would agree entirely, there were a couple of instances were the ball came back of the keeper and he just has no instinct to attack the space looking for the next phase, same with the runs he makes in the box most of the time. No only is his technique poor and his physical attributes insufficient, his instincts aren't there either.

....the Park End chance he missed where he smashed it against the keeper from a yard out reflects his lack of instinct. A striker at that level instinctively has a picture of where he is and is striving to put the ball to the left of the keeper.

I honestly don’t see a single part of his game that I would call effective. The fact he looks fitter this season is a reflection of the condition he got himself into last season.

He’s just not very good.
 

You’d think even by law of averages he’d of bagged yesterday. The issue is it’s not just yesterday. He’s had plenty of great chances in a team that don’t create many, and missed virtually the lot. He’s scored 1 in 28, and our premier league survival rests on someone putting the ball in the back of the net. Think for all parties he needs moving on and we need a new striker in.
 

Put him out of his misery.

I would love nothing more than for him to
Come good. The lad tries, but he just lacks the conviction. Got into some great positions yesterday, if he had any composure he’d have had a couple.

Desperately needs a goal for his confidence, but we don’t have the time to wait for it.

Doesn’t deserve the abuse online, but needs to be replaced and moved on, sharpish.
