Sign Afobe has left. Vokes next one off the boo boy rank? I don't boo Stoke players or ironically cheer a player being substituted, I find those moments very uncomfortable even if I think the player is shit, I must be an empathetic soul. However, I'll openly discuss a players shortcomings and look for ways they can improve and I genuinely believe Vokes needs to do more. He barely wins a header (the goal aside, ironically) and in general he doesn't use his physicality to dominate an opposing defender enough for me. I think he's one of those who's a bit too nice, as strange as it sounds. He's clearly got good technique just think he needs to put more in, even if he is feeding off scraps.

Vokes is a good target man if we play a speedy partner like Hogan (when fully fit) or Campbell with him. If we are to persist with the 3 at the back and a lone forward, that forward has to be far more mobile than Sam is showing right now, so for me it must be Gregory.

An obvious miss aside, Gregory has been far better than (was fat) Sam.
He will surely find his shooting boots.
Just not convinced from what I've seen so far, if SV will ever match LG's mobility and sheer will to win.
And, to address the OP's very good point: I, for one, would definitely say the respective price tags currently sit the wrong way 'round.
There's room for all our FWDs, but yes, SV needs to up his game.

He's shown very little yet, not a lot better than Afobe and he'll be gone in January, when we'll sign Gayle cheaply (I hope).

He did touch it It looks to me like the ball is changing direction ever so slightly when I watch the replay of the goal, indicating that Collins indeed touched it. There were also two Wigan-defenders bumping into Collins at the same time so it was perhaps difficult for him to notice touching the ball.

It’s pretty obvious Vokes hasn’t hit the ground running. I never really rated him before we signed him, and so far seen little to change that view. Hopefully that will change, but let’s be honest it’s not working out is it.

He should be fined for his recent performances for impersonating a footballer
A disgrace

This is a bloke that finished last on the Burnley bleep test. His fitness was abysmal. And we somehow splash out 9m for him.
