And close bracket.
But good point and think CW still has some in the locker.
He can read a game and that's really what all the best strikers do.
Aguero, sheringham, lineker, Shearer.
None lightning but right place right time.
Not that hes in that company but a similar thought pattern.
Defo not a vardy or mane due to being slower but with the correct supply CW could surprise us.

Roy on Sky sports today saying if he wants game time he might have to go elsewhere I think . Just caught the end of the interview

Seemed a strange call

Nope, not a joke. Jokes tend to be followed with a 'haha' or 'lol' or some sort.

I meant it. I think CW could be awesome for us...and now he'll be resigned to the bench. Just my opinion.

Two good chances missed tonight.
The first one he tried to get a shot away on his right and ran into the defender, the second he struck wide with his weaker left foot.
He only played 25 minutes but looked knackered at the end.

First one, right thing to do as he was running out of space. Unfortunately for him, covering defender did well and got a foot in. Second one was a tight angle and always going to be hard. Gosh at least he's making runs and getting into positions. As evidenced by two recent goals where he got onto the end of tap ins (granted Fernandinho got there first for one of them).

Versus our supposed saviour new striker, who put an open chance into row Z.

Connor's a great striker...just needs minutes and confidence. IMO.

I’d Love him to do really well, but he had practically an entire season 3/4 years ago with minimal competition, before all of the injuries, was ok in flashes, but on the whole not very good.
Since then he has lost a couple of yards of pace and his body has been in bits.
To call Connor Wickham a great striker is like callling Garry glitter a bit of a wrongun.
