If the old football adage is correct and you are only as good as your last game then he is OK. I don’t think he is a world beater by any stretch of the imagination but we are not going to get a world beater to play for us at the moment. I think none of us really know how effective he can be in the Premier League, he hasn’t been given the chance to prove himself, he has only had bit parts so far and they were in Sean Dyche’s system which didn’t assist goal scoring. I couldn’t argue with those posters who point out his shortcomings, his close control isn’t good, he doesn’t hold the ball up but against Leicester he took his goals well and his run on goal was a nailed on penalty. Two goals and drawing a penalty isn’t a bad days work. Are there better centre forwards out there who would do a better job, of course there are but that applies to nearly every player we have. It looks like if we can play a style of football which puts him through on goal he can score, if we want to play a centre forward who can hold up play and bring others into the game then he is clearly not for us. Today is a big day for him and for all of us.
