Not denying Gaye has been poor but the system we’re playing just doesn’t suit him. We need a target man for him to link with. At the moment him and brown are too closely matched physically. Same situation at the front as the back. Old has been player fucks up. Must be somebody else’s fault.

Shocking stat is that he has the worst scoring record of any player to have played more than twenty times for Stoke and we've had some shocking ones. I can't believe he's even worse than Berahino.
Pre-match on Saturday the summariser (I guess it was Clive Clarke from other threads) Radio Stoke were saying he's been a bit unfairly treated at Stoke as his stats, goals aside, are very good. The trouble is that goals are what are needed most from a striker and it's not as if he's not getting the chances - two more on Saturday.

He’s far less of a threat than either Tyreece or Brown and just about every poster fucking hates either one or the other of those two.

I was really excited when we signed Gayle in the Summer and he looked really bright in his first few games. However, he really does look like he has completely gone. There are games or moments when there are flashes of his old self, but these are too few and far between. He had three opportunities in the first half. One where it was blocked inside the six yard box. One was a header from the penalty spot that went tamely into the goalkeepers hands. One where he swung wildly at a volley and failed to connect. You would expect a striker of his repute to take at least one of those chances. If he does, it changes the dynamic of the game completely. I've just seen the xG for those chances - the first one from 15 yards out was 0.15 and 0.12 for the header. They weren't gilt edged chances to score in the first place, so I'll cut him some slack for those. His miss in the first 5 mins against Blackpool is more symptomatic of how far his stock has fallen.

Not many would have started him and vast majority would have taken him off at HT, me included
Well done Gayle hope this picks him up

No idea what happened at half-time today but second half Gayle was a different player than I've seen all season.

Great game ( well particularly 2nd half ) and a much needed confidence boosting brace.
As above, well done AN for picking him today.

He never needed a target man when he was scoring for fun in a WBA shirt! He had pace back then He also had players playing balls through on a regular basis. He would suit a target man given that we don’t really have midfielders who have done that much this season. He’s still been crap this season but perhaps he could just finish strong if he gets another goal soon.

Once more the all knowing mr Bayern is proved wrong. Couldn’t read a game of football if tried . Can’t see beyond his nose and ego . Has Wilmot silenced him and the feeding frenzy he causes ? Bayern NOT a supporter. Rather like Brown not a footballer taunt . Remind us all where verlinden is Bursik oh and it’s not taken long for wolves manager to place collins on the bench . But hey did you know collins is a bigger icon than Hudson ? I won’t reply to your reply Bayern . SOUTV

Let’s just hope these two goals get the lad going and he returns to the lethal form he was showing a couple of years back.

Have to admire his work rate and determination. He had a mare first half but never hid; kept wanting the ball, chasing and trying his best for the team. Deserved his goals.

Bought himself a reprieve, without today’s performance he surely had to be dropped
Hopefully it’ll click now and he’ll start banging then in.
His work rate is top notch, add in goals and he’ll be a decent signing

Thought he was his usual shite in the first half, but sensational in the second half! Could we hope for more now and till the end of the season?

He’s been bought in to score goals and he’s scored one- a deflection off his arse- all season til today. Obvs delighted he’s got 2 today- but don’t go firing bullets at those who have been rightly critical of gayles output.
