He’s not rhe big battering ram upfront that people want him to be and Warnock would like him to be.
He’s got decent feet for a big lad and getting him down the channel would be playing to his strengths not whacking the ball up to him head height.
It’s why Patterson looks more productive in a Warnock side as chasing lost causes and challenging for long balls in the air is up his street. Patterson would look awful upfront for a side who play football.
I think Ken would benefit from a Bobby Reid playing closer to him and maybe we will be able to afford more of that now we’re back in the championship.
No he's not. Nowhere near.
Excluding last season's stats in the Premier League, he's made 80 appearances in Championship and cup, scoring 23 goals. That's an average 0.29 goals per game. He averages 1 assist in every 8 Championship games.
Assombalonga has indeed contributed less assists, but it's hardly as if Zohore is contributing heavily on that score, either.

Not sure about the accuracy of that, but then despite being garbage for his first season and injured most of the last one he’s still scored a decent number of goals. On the rare occasion he came on last season he looked a threat. Single handed lay turned the game at St Mary’s..He’s got it all, but the biggest question is has he got the heart for it. Its been written that he is quiet and nervous , let’s not forget he wasn’t much more than a kid when he got here. He’s now mid 20s and has another chance to show what he can do.
Great if we can get Britt - although I doubt we will spend £15m on one player unless the Sala dispute has been sorted, so a lot still hangs on Zohore coming good and I’ve seen enough to think he can.
Genuine question - was our style of football fundamentally different when Zohore had his sweet run of form under Warnock?
I’m not much of a tactician but have seen it stated that our style of play just doesn’t suit him. However at the time, as I recall, it was frequently suggested that Warnock had actually rescued his career from the wilderness.
I can’t see us signing another striker until we move a few out. We currently have Zohore, Ward, Madine, Bogle and Healey. We’ll only play one up front and the most likely isn’t even on that list ( Paterson). I’m sure we would like to move Madine Bogle and Healey out but it’s not always that easy . Think we’ll start the season with Zohore or Ward upfront
Don't see a lot in Ward. Looks slow and disinterested to me. Bit like Kenneth but slower.
I thought we were better against SAFC when Ward came on. At least he tried, I don't think Ken jumped for a single header and his body language was that of a disinterested loner.
