Don't want to piss on anyone's fire (cuz I'm holidaying at the mo, so haven't been t'day), but who actually thinks that ONE goal (if and when he gets it) is gonna open the flood gates??? As 'well' as he may have played t'day, he still ain't scored....
I want to give him the benefit of the doubt, but I just can't see him turning it round and becoming prolific....
Shit, I really really hope I'm wrong, but I just don't see it!!!

Another excellent game from him.
We just need the midfield a bit further forward and to be passing it to him when heās closer to the box now. He showed he can hold it up and turn. If we can make that scenario in the box, he will score.

Will he get the chance? From Rowett's interview it sounds like Woods will be played behind Allen and Etebo. Berahino may well be the man who has to give way. That's the real (and very genuine) worry isn't it? Rowett's going to resort to 433 so he can fit all three midfielders in.

He is more mobile than Afobe and Crouch and you can just sense that its about to click for him

Played really well today but he looked more like a midfielder at times.
It's astonishing he still hasn't scored yet...

He can't even score at this level. He's shite. He needs to be left out. Rubbish! Take it you weren't there then? No he's been fishing. Caught quite a bit as well.

A little history lesson here (and a vocabulary lesson - the definition of the word āstrikerā) .... when he first arrived he quickly showed he wasnāt able to run from one of the pitch to the other. But his fans, god bless them, said he just needed games. Then, when he got some games, and somehow failed to score, they said, he just needed service. So whatās the new story? Oh yeah, now heās playing too far back. But wait, for some reason that would even defeat someone with the brain of a god, there are still people on here who say āonce he gets a goal, heāll start knocking them in for fun!!!ā As they used to say in Stoke ...āwhere did these people go skoo?ā

He was brilliant today again. As rowett said it doesnāt matter if he doesnāt score if he plays like that and we win. More performances like that

Iām surprised we havenāt heard the reason for him not scoring is the other side persists in playing 11 men. .... Oh, wait .... Then there was the Signal2 play by play announcer today saying he hoped weād get a penalty and Berahino would grab the ball and take it. Heavens above, how many times do we have to repeat history before learning what not to do?

Good catch. Iām not saying he didnāt play well today. Iām saying he seems incapable of scoring. Which is completely different. Maybe heās found his niche.

At least four or five times we completely missed his excellent runs with a pass. So frustrating.

I think the lad did well and I'd love for him to have scored today but to be honest its nice to see him actively involved in the game. He came deep and was actively shouting for the ball and he made a couple of decent runs in the 2nd half.
After Etebo I had him down as my MOTM.

He does get knocked off the ball very easily, a bit like Bojan. He did play deep today and did well. Hull were poor and I suspect that other teams will stifle him. Afobe knows exactly where the goal is, put your reliance on him.

Our brightest player by far., although he didn't really look like scoring.
It's a shame we don't have a song for him to acknowledge he performances over the last 3 games because he's been very good. I think Afobe would have worked better than Crouch against Hull.
The same goes for Rowett...plenty of halfwits happy to vocally criticise him vs Wigwam. It's a shame he never got a verbal backing today. We were worse today than we saw midweek for the first 30 minutes, but today we got the goal and on Wednesday they got the goal through a piss poor error and the players on the pitch capitulated. Personally, I though Rowett could have made changes to stretch the game when the were reduced to 10 men but he was also brave in making a good few changes from those who capitulated midweek. I'm sure he'd make more if he had the luxury of competent squad depth. I can't wait to see Woods in our midfield next week and subsequently Clucas.
Etebo had a decent game too although too many times, people didn't give him the ball when they should have.
Anyway, it's a monkey off our back. Up the fucking Potters.

In him and Afobe, we have our front 2 sorted within 5 games. That's huge.
