Can we stop making excuses for this lad

He’s out of form
Just came back from injury
Just not failing for him

He’s missed a hatful of chances over the last few weeks at critical moments, it’s not good enough.

Said this a few weeks ago, never in our history has a player had so many excuses made for him.

Someone said in here recently maybe it's because he's just had a kid,WTF
 


He got better the longer he was injured.

The hard work, running and hold up play was great as he regained match fitness, was deservedly applauded off many games despite not scoring. But we can’t limp to the end of the season with a fully fit lone striker missing so many chances, and knocking in maybe 2 or 3 more goals. Its not enough.

If you had to pick one of our strikers to play every minute between now and the end of the season, it’s a tough call. Which one??

Seriously? Keane for me. Pressure off and let him have a go. Best striker of a ball we have and far more dangerous than lewin in the air and on the ground.
 
Not denying that at all? My point is that we aren't in a position to get better than DCL unless we unearth a gem. We've been relegation battlers for a few seasons now, but I think some fans go shopping for new players like we're looking for Europe. They're not coming here.
Nobody is shopping for new players like we’re looking for Europe - simply pointing out that DCL is currently not doing what we need him to, and based on his career record he’s unlikely to score the amount of goals even a mid table side needs from its main striker.
What convinces you he’s good enough and are you content with his goals return? Do you think his chance conversion is healthy? I’m genuinely interested to see what you think is great about him -personally I’m of the view he needs to contribute much, much more than he does currently.
