Zohore

[the other bob wilson]

If Paul Trollope is selecting Zohore because he thinks he's Championship standard then he deserves to be sacked for incompetence.

If Paul Trollope requested the permanent signing of Zohore in the summer then he deserves to be sacked for incompetence.

I actually think that the board / owner signed Zohore for reasons known only to them (not for the footballing benefit of CCFC).

So I would give Trollope the benefit of the doubt that he didn't sanction the signing but unless he's been told to play him he should never select him. The man is a terrible footballer at this level.

If Paul Trollope is being told who to play, or is selecting a terrible footballer because he thinks it will please the owner then he's tainting his own reputation and should resign on principle.

Can't argue with much of that - based on what was seen of Zohore last season and what's been seen of him this time around, Zohore is being turned into a worse footballer at Cardiff City as the months go by. This is a player who almost won the game for us when we played at Turf Moor against last season's champions five months ago and yet, after one or two decent things when he first came on, he looked like a parks player last night.

What a bloody insult to posters on here who've graced the parks of South Wales over the years.

I wasn't there last night (listened to the online commentary) but it does look as if a lot of players have gone backwards since last season - Immers, Ralls, Connolly and Manga (apart from his No 9 cameo yesterday) for starters.

When Zohore was signed it didn't look the worst decision based on the glimpses he gave last season - as a young back-up striker. I saw him at Rotherham amongst the subs and he did look heavy. If that is combined with confusion around roles and tactics, poor morale and confidence in the squad, lack of leadership on the pitch, and an unbalanced team with an over-reliance on a 34 year old who has hardly played for 2 years and a converted winger.... then that has to be the responsibility of the coaching and fitness team.

There are some positives from recent matches - Lambert, Amos, Peltier, Harris and (at times) Noone - but if the leadership and organisation on the pitch is down to Sean Morrison alone players like Zahore will look even more lost. It is going to be a hard fight to claw away from trouble at the bottom and Kenneth Zohore (2016-17 version) is not what we need.
