He's a third choice centre forward that tries his best, no more, no less I mean if any other player had the chance he did we would have scored it.

Ronaldo Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 3 minutes ago, Big Geordie said: Look - he was brought in last season to do a job (help keep us up) - and he did it. Today was a really bad miss, but I'm not going to go hating on the lad. He's an honest pro and when he leaves, he will have done his bit to get this club back up there. You’re a good dude and those are classy words but I can guarantee your thoughts on him would be quite different if he hadn’t spent the past 12 months have his slack picked up by other players in the squad.

Guest reefatoon Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 He didn’t even have to hit it first time. He had so much time and space man, what the fuck was he thinking Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you must take your anger out on anyone - save it for the previous owner who left the club in such a state, that it was always going to take time to sort out. He set the club back 10 years and to be honest, it's a miracle that we now sit 3rd in the league. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaydnNUFC Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 Awful. Tried to be as positive as possible about him but the reality is he's an awful footballer. That miss was nauseatingly bad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weezertron Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 His reaction to that miss was sad. Seemed like he knew it meant more than simply missing a shot. I think players know when a fan base in on the edge of turning against them. He knew that would do it for a section of our support. Probably reading too much into it hah.

No, I think that’s right tbh. I’ve seen it with other centre forwards in the past. I think he did a decent job (albeit a low scoring one) last season for us, but his credit in the bank is now running low. The lad needs to be moved on, for his sake and ours Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amir_9 Posted January 7, 2023 Share Posted January 7, 2023 (edited) Basically a high inflation Shola. For that kind of transfer money paid for him the bare minimum is to have "done the job" Just a shame tactically relegating Burnley for the cost of £25m can't get you a striker that you don't need to hope to the heavens he scores or assists every time he plays. Its not like you can even come out with a claim of how many goals you can expect per game for him at NUFC - you just hope for the best. I remember a Burnley fan I know laughed his head off when we signed him and I thought why is he shunning a striker with a 10 per season record in recent years. Folks go out of their way to stretch the reality with this guy because if he actually did more, you'd be calling his "good performances" so far that we have seen exactly what they are - just alright to underwhelming with the regular utter stinker.

The home crowd will turn on him after his first miss / wayward pass etc when he plays now, and from then it will just get worse. Tonight was likely the collective snap of patience for many in the fanbase. Not saying it’s justified, but that’s just how it usually goes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
