Gallowgate Toon Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 We've actually played 2 up top in most games this season, at some point. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Figures 1-0 Football Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 Cant wait for this absolute mentalist to be back. We expecting him to start on Tuesday? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikon Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 Same here. Yeah i'd be surprised if he doesn't start. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
relámpago blanco Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 I think us going down could be the making of this lad. If he has a good season he'll be seasoned to English football when we go up and he'll have more experience. I can see him getting 20 goals and the same for Gayle.

Guest neesy111 Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 The reactions to a good majority if our fans to him coming back is slightly embarrassing tbh. It's like we've got a 30 goal season striker coming back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikon Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 Is it? We have one striker right now (excluding Armstrong who probably will go out on loan). Personally i think he will do well for us He will give us something else, another option. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully he has a good season. I think it's primarily due to him being exactly what we've missed in the opening games: a link from midfield to attack. Our gameplan is crying out for him, which as hinted in a previous post is probably intentional in preparation for his return. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimistic Nut Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 I'm excited to see what him and Gayle will be like together mind. Think it has the potential to damage the league. He should watch Negredo this season because that (first hour anyway) is the sort of thing we need from him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledGeordie Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 I think he'll do well as he'll get more chances but his finishing has been patchy at best. Still loads to prove Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikon Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 I agree that his finishing has been poor. But don't forget that there's been a lot of weight on his shoulders, a lot of pressure on a 21 year old playing his first season in a new league. Never mind in a non functioning team... Feels like people forget this at times... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Figures 1-0 Football Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 He scored a fair amount of goals in an absolutely useless team who had a donkey in charge for most of the season. Will delay total judgement on him until I've seen him this year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our gameplan is crying out for him, which as hinted in a previous post is probably intentional in preparation for his return. Yep, that's precisely it. It's easy to fall into the trap of lauding a player when he's out of the team; but with every passing game it just seems increasingly likely that he'll be pretty useful in this division. Especially with a fast, clinical striker alongide him and (hopefully) two decent wingers either side. As Dave says, he'll need to improve his finishing to be really effective - but we'll get goals as a direct result of him being in the side, whether he's the one converting them or not. Neck on the line I can see him getting about 10-12 and Gayle getting 15-20. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
