He is always fouling.
He gives the ball away cheaply.
He doesn't hold the long ball up, as a 6 ft 5 lump should.
He doesn't score enough goals...this season

You’re entitled to your opinion of course, can’t say I agree with it
I was just thinking how all our players look better at this level as you would expect them to but Salech looked better at championship level.
He looks pissed offQuote:

So Salech is going to get less involvement outside of a good header when he can.
I thought the exact same this evening. He doesn't look a vision of happiness.Quote:

It seems as though the system isn’t suited but he will be fine and score a hatful of goals.
He's looked frustrated at the lack of decisions going his way, same happened at WimbledonQuote:

Agree with this but he’s doing fine, he’s got a goal, could have had more and gives us a different dimension . He just looks frustrated more with the manhandling he’s getting every game. He’s a very good player at this level and I feel will get better tooQuote:

Notice how we could barely make the ball stick and were penned in by Cheltenham in the last 15 mins quite often … once he went off.
Yes, very true , good point tooQuote:

Good players get singled out by the opposition, they know he’s a good player. While he’s having his battles, others are finding space to knock it about, we’ve got defences rattled, whether passing it around them or Salech getting physically involved, it’s all good stuff.
I've expressed my opinions before and was probably in a 1% minority ! But I still struggle to see what people see in him. He's almost pathologically slow on the ground, either moving, with the ball at his feet, or trying to score. So last night the defender [of the worst team on the EFL] effectively had him in his pocket. Salech never once came off his marker preferring to grapple it out with him - he barely won the ball once, and then gave it away when he did. He'll score some goals from crosses and corners, but the hype around him has been massively overdone..

Although, I'm sure Salech is unhappy at not scoring against such a generous defence last night, as it tuyrns out, I thought he had a very good game with his awareness of team mates' positioning as good as I've ever seen it.
