Personally think he's been very poor and the winning run, for the most part, was in spite of his performances. I can see some positives that he brings but as a goal threat he offers very little, and ultimately that's what he's there for.

His shortcomings have been more pronounced during this poor run. 

 

Part of me is just counting down the days until Wilson is back. 

I wouldn't expect to see Wilson again this season.  He's too injury prone and will surely break down if he comes back too early

Maybe. 

 

Either way we're buying a big money forward this summer.

Many games we go unbeaten with Top notch leading the line ? 

Give over man ffs 

As a body on the pitch hes done ok. As a striker its been terrible. Give over yourself. Krafth has done his job (in some games) you satisfied with him as RB?

Unless we had spent £50+ in Jan it was always going to be like this. No ‘OK’ striker will look good in our team, especially not his type. 
 

I get why we signed him because of his clause etc, and we had a desperate need. But he’s going to look poor when we have no opportunities to cross or link up with him.

Well yes tbh, Krafth has played his part in keeping us up, every part of me just needed us to stay up this year, how we did it was & still is unimportant 

Be thankful for small mercies I think, 5 months ago we had Steve fat fuck bruce telling us how lucky we were to have him in charge with his "experience" so aye im delighted Krafth, Wood, Howe et al have arrived

His work off the ball is phenomenal. He is what he is and helps the way we play ie high press/ capitalize on mistakes and knocking on the high ball...

He is deffo not a mid/top of the table striker.

If we hadn't have sign him and played Gayle that run wouldn't have happened and we wouldn't have as many points as we do now simple as that. From that point of view he's served his purpose.

 

:lol: Absolutely nothing to justify that fact whatsoever.

If he plays his part in keeping us in the division, as he has done to date, then he wasn't a waste of money.

 

Still this. 

 

I'm unsure how you can give a striker with limited mobility too much stick in a 5-1 defeat where we had just 38% of the ball.

 

Our fans just have a hard on for getting on his and ASM's backs as soon as things go even the slightest bit pear shaped, regardless whether their performances vindicates it or not.

Disagree, I don't think with Gayle up top we'd have seen that run of form.

 

That's not to say Wood has been good, or that we might not have still got out of the relegation zone had we signed someone else instead of him, but I really don't think we'd have had a chance with Gayle up front. The fact Wood is struggling and Gayle still doesn't get a kick tells its own story.

Or he’s just poor because he’s a dinosaur of a striker. His limited skill set will only ever look half decent in a restive, cynical and direct setup. I’m not sure why proponents of playing modern football on here and elsewhere have given him a free pass for so long.

People are massively magnifying his contribution - he's been shit. It's like giving credit for having a measly drop of water in an otherwise dry desert, that's his time here so far.
