Some absolutely shocking performances out there tonight but Vokes deserves a special mention He really looks totally disinterested and played the whole game at snails pace. Looks like yet another few million spunked up the wall

Last few performances from him have been very concerning.
His legs have gone. He's another Wilfred Bony.
He also missed an open net just after their first goal.
Makes me think he wasn't a jones signing. I really think this was a Cartwright signing.

Looks past it an shit. So exactly what you expect from a Stoke signing.

It's bloody worrying isn't it. Looked like a 45 year old John Parkin tonight without the good feet.

Well lets have a look at some decent strikers. Fuller, Beattie, Thorne, Sidebe, Akinbyi, Lawrence, Odemwinge (Stein, Sheron, Sturridge, Bertschin). this blokes come to us for a final wage and that is where we are as a force in football

Clearly getting over a bad injury which is a concern as he has a poor injury record

Hopefully it's just a lack of fitness.
The alternative is too depressing to contemplate.

Up front on his own with no one around him for most of the game was never going to go well, he's never been someone that tears around the place, nothing went well tonight and the set up was poor and did no one any favours.

He brings nothing to the table and neither does Afobe,we are bereft of a decent striker.

Exactly. Just as Pulis and Hughes constantly selecting Crouch on his own away from home did him nor us any favours.

On paper he has everything needed to be a decent onion bag rattler for us

Isn't he use to play along another striker in a 4-4-2, as per Burnley?
Does he work in a 4-3-3 or 4-2-3-1?

Vokes must have been a Jones signing and a very poor one He's a Jones signing when he scores, when he doesn't he's not go figure that one, either way he's not what we needed especially for £9m.

I think he’ll do OK for us. Poor today I agree but he needs someone to play up with him as he will win headers and hold the ball up. I think he was bought with next season in mind where NJ will have signed the players he needs to play his diamond with 2 up front.

Afobe worries me more as he has spent an entire season proving he isn’t much good. Vokes we haven’t really seen enough of yet.

Makes me think he wasn't a jones signing. I really think this was a Cartwright signing. He's clearly unfit. He should not have been playing but what was the alternative? As for whose signing it is, it's a Xartwright and Jones signing. Jones stated the week he came here, that he put his faith in the transfer team, after all Cartwright is an old mate of his, so Mark produced his database, and from it Jones probably said, I like that one. Then Cartwright did the nitty gritty.

Who do you blame for that ? he's slow not a prolific goal scorer, past his best and injury prone, we may as well have kept Crouch ! he's another piss poor signing by the Pizza boy's signed off of course by our latest fall guy/manager, when will people realise where the root cause is

We’ll likely be playing a 442 next season regardless, so hopefully he’ll continue to be a good fit for it, even if it isn’t the rigid one he played in for Burnley.
