Play Vokes in a two up top and he’s an excellent foil
Play him in a lone role is literally throwing him under the bus as one up top needs to be mobile and run the channels

I've said on other threads who exactly would you have picked up front today? I don't think he works away from home either but if there was a chance Gregory would have been on his way to Cardiff by kick off there was no option. Diouf obviously can't manage more than 10 minutes and I'm not sure if N'goy can play up front and it wasn't the match to try.

Get Campbell on the right he's just about passable, without him, he is an appalling absolute embarrassment of a player. At at 8 or 9M it makes you want to weep.

There is no scenario, system or partnership where vokes is even remotely useful. When he was a half decent player he still wasnt particularly good. Now he's nothing more than a busted flush. An absolutely terrible signing.

Huddersfield away and Sheffield Wednesday when he had somebody alongside him says different Dave Very isolated instances though and surely we expect more than 2 good games in 18 months from him? He's played in a 1, 2 and a 3 and been equally shit in the vast majority of games he's played. Edit - it is also interesting to note that his only 2 decent games have come during the busiest part of the season when he was arguably one of the freshest players on the pitch against tired opposition.

There is something that I've noticed in recent games that annoys me.
In our last few matches, but Swansea in particular, every time Vokes challenged for a header, the defender would be holding him down, sometimes with two arms on his shoulders. The referee never penalised this.
Last night, the referee gave a foul to Derby on most of the rare occasions where Vokes challenged for a header. I genuinely couldn't see any infraction.
I know we've had this for years, where it was acceptable to do anything to Crouch whenever we had a long throw, but it drives me mad.

We are a bit of a 'last pay day' holiday camp aren't we? If we signed brunt, as much effort as he has, he could have simply swanned around expecting to play with zero competition and just chilled with money in his pocket

Said the night we were signing him it was a massive waste of money, we should have gone for McKenna that night and picked a vokes up in the summer for less than half that 9m.
I honestly believe tom pope could do what vokes does for us, a target man is a target man is a target man, unless they're are superior goal scorers or fantastic at link play there isn't much between them. I mean look at sidibe, you could say his second touch was a tackle but he was a grafter had a bit of pace and he could link up.
Vokes is like a poor mans john parkin, parkin was actually a good finisher and good with his feet.
In favour of vokes, we don't play to his strengths though, he is what he is, these managers think it's all about inter play and holding the ball up and link up etc but unless you have 2 wide men of great quality cutting inside it reflects badly on the CF. It's obvious to any man vokes needs plenty of crosses putting in the box at head height which we dont do

At at 8 or 9M it makes you want to weep. That’s not his fault though is it mate I think he has to take some responsibility mate. At the moment he looks like pissed Dave from the PDSL turned up with his boots and accidentally got a game. If you listen carefully you can still here a whispy crackle from the Burnley area as Sean Dyche continues to piss himself at the money we paid for him.

He needs decent crosses to thrive, and he wasn't helped by the shit ref who gave everything to Derby's central defenders!

Playing Vokes on his own up front is tantamount to not having an attacking policy.
If he plays, it has to be either as one of a forward two or three.

He does well when Powell is closer to him, but none of the front 4 looked like they’d played together yesterday. Vokes won much of his 1 vs 1 headers, but if no one is there for the knock down it’s all in vein. Can’t wait for Campbell to get back though.
