8 strikers

[Bald Barry Bastad]

Robinson, Kanga, Meite, Etete, Davies, Simic, Reindorf and Pearce and only one of them so far has delivered at this level.

It is a sad reflection on the quality of our so called transfer committee. They are the reason we are at the bottom. Get rid of this committee and start again.

Re: 8 strikers

in fairness to Davies, he's been injured all season.
Simic hasn't ever played at this level so hard to say if he's any good.
Reindorf and Pearce clearly weren't signed for the first team at this stage.
Robinson has been good.

the big disappointments have been Meite and Kanga.
We were expecting a proven Championship goal scorer in Meite, and Kanga was one of our main signings of the summer, and it just hasn't worked for him here.

We'd have been better of with Roo.

Let’s not excuse Kanga as a “just hasn’t worked out”

He’s a lazy player that can’t even be bothered look like he’s trying

Guy should have his wages docked.

I can accept it when players just aren’t very good, but a lack of effort just annoys me

We would have been off with Winnie the Pooh.

I agree.

"Hasn't worked out" suggests the system didn't suit the player, perhaps he found it difficult to settle, or beset by injuries.... no, he's just bone idle!

It’s hard to argue with any of that, he hasn’t helped himself not only by his lack of effort, but his whole demeanour when he’s been on the pitch looks like someone who really doesn’t want to do this.

A lack of ability or someone being off form you can understand, Meite for example always tries, he’s just not good enough, but Kanga has to go down as one of the worst signings ever
Let’s hope he’s in the frozen out list, if he doesn’t move on during this window
