We played well at Chelsea and were in the game until Bamba's moment of madness, Ward was excellent in holding the ball up and showed willing. With Ken we tend to lump it long and hope for the best. Ward has earned his place in the side and should stay there until Zohore has earned the place back
    We didn't always lump it up to Ken, he has pretty good movement and pace and if we play to his strengths he's by far our best striker.

    Agree with City123....Ward a much better option. Zohore doesnt look interested and doesnt at the moment deserve to be anywhere near the starting lineup.

    Bit harsh on Zohore really, he missed half of pre season, and in recent games has had barely any time to make an impact, you can't judge anything from 5 minutes off the bench

    Was given extra time off with the birth of his child and rewarded the club by coming back 6 pound over his target weight for pre season training.

    We all want more from him but i suspect he isnt really upto this level. Hes not mobile enough and just looks a big fairly slow lump

    You can’t compare Ward and Zohore’s performances. Zohore was left up front on his own with the other 9 players out of touch in a very defensive approach. Ward has had the benefit of playing with Reid and a more attacking line up. Apples and oranges. Ward has done well but Zohore is far more talented if we can get the best out of him.

I've said on a couple of occasions that I don't really know what kind of player he is.
    You obviously didn't see the goals he scored last season against Burton, Preston and Fulham then. A curling left foot shot into the corner from the edge of the box, a fifty yard run beating three players with a dink over the goalie to finish and a twenty five yard thunderbolt into the top corner on the run. All top quality goals from a top quality player, who is low on confidence and fitness so far this season.

    6 pound isn't much, I've had bigger shits than that

    The Preston one was two seasons ago.

    I think he’s our best striker. We were much better last season with him in the team. I’d want to see him with hoilet Ward and Murphy providing when we play teams outside the top 6. Especially at home. He can do some damage.

    Thanks for reiterating my point . I said that he's not great in the box or off set pieces. You obviously agree with me

    If you've always thought Zohore was slow then I have to wonder if you've ever seen him play.

    Wouldn't be surprised if this is true, but how do you know it is?

    If it is true, then I would have thought Neil Warnock is one of the last managers you'd be wanting to do something like that to.

    It baffles me how a professional footballer in Zohore's position can get away with not even realistically challenging for many headers.

    I think Ward has won more headers this season than Zohore in the whole of last year.

    The fact that Madine is selected ahead of Zahore suggests that he's not impressing NW in training.
    It could be that the poor bloke is suffering sleepless nights with his new youngster and maybe even having trouble with his post natal wife.

    We've all been there and it can take its toll

    You also said that he wasn't a natural goal scorer. The Preston goal was finished from inside the box as well.

    I got banned from Weightwatchers for the same comment, I thought I said it quietly, but 30+ females turned round in horror! (yes I was the only male there!)

    I can compare the two performances. The reason Ward had support was because he can actually hold the ball up, his first touch is great and it sticks to him almost every time allowing the rest of the team to move up, he also chases everything own, something that cannot be said of Zohore

    I think Zohore's a decent player but Ward doesn't deserve to be dropped and Zohore doesn't deserve to be reinstated to the starting lineup. Zohore is being afforded more leeway than he deserves here and is being given more than a lot of other players would receive and I really can't figure out why.
