They were significantly better than Zohore was that season. That says all we need to know about Zohore's contribution.
Zohore had a purple patch not long after Warnock went there. He was average on too many occasions in our promotion season but Warnock kept faith in Zohore for the Premier League. Warnock said once that he didn't get a striker because he believed Zohore would do the business. He didn't.
In 2016/17 he scored a goal every 187 minutes. This increased to a goal every 298 minutes in our promotion season and a goal every 746 minutes in the Premier League with us. He scored 3 for West Brom at an average of 1 every 217 minutes. Last season he managed a goal every 434 minutes for Millwall.
I don't doubt that Zohore showed some ability for us in a fantastic purple patch where he was unplayable. This was over 4 years ago. He's had a few managers since then. Either all of them didn't play to his strengths or he hasn't been good enough.
He's got 2 years left on his contract. I don't see him doing much more in a West Brom shirt and expect him to be loaned out to a bottom half Championship side.
