He seems more interested in trying to outmuscle opponents than getting hold of the ball.
I thought we'd all already accepted this and it was part of his charm?
Every cameo he makes reminds me of when David James had a game up front under Stuart Pearce.
He provides an option as a sub to bully late in the game, he will bag you goals.
He's scored 2 goals in about 50 minutes of playing, give him a chance.
I love the guy , yes he has limitations, but the goal he scored at Barnsley which got us three points was fantasticQuote:

I don’t think he will score 15 goals a season but he offers a different dimension when needed , (which is why he was a substitute)
Listen to the fan police here, first "did you go to the game" and now this :hehe: :hehe:Quote:

His main aim was to win free kicks and the ref quickly saw what he was doingQuote:

Strikers are meant to shoot and they do sometimes miss :hehe:
Didn't see you slagging him off after the games he had scored in?Quote:

What did you use to type that?Quote:
