I just can't understand why he keeps on playing him. The player's confidence must be shot to pieces and every time he gets on the pitch it must get worse. Play anybody else but Vokes. Keeping to the same side is better than subbing him on, or even just put any fucker up front, in desperation!

He come on every game for 10 minutes on the orders of a tactical inept dinosaur manager.
That's what he does .

Picks up circa £30k a week for training 4 times a week and strolling around the pitch for 20 minutes max. per game, nice work if you can get it ! the man has no shame or morals in my opinion the manager is no better for selecting him week in week out, these charlatans are sucking the life out of the club. How do you suggest we get rid of him? There’s no chance of getting a decent striker in until his wages are off the books? Where have I suggested getting rid of the useless lump ? who would sign him apart from our mercurial transfer team, he's stealing a living if he had any morals he would take early retirement and stop taking the piss.

How else do you expect us to improve the squad unless we move players like Vokes out? He’s still got 15 months of a highly paid contract left, are you seriously saying he’s going to walk out on that?

If he had any morals he would and the man who carried out the due diligence, watched him 25 times, agreed to his salary demands and length of contract should walk with him, they are on easy street they are taking the piss out of our club along with the other 11 out on loan on massive wages and long contracts, however the man who negotiated these contracts continues to slide into his office everyday the club is rotten.

He's never going to be Alan Shearer re-incarnated, but do we think we could have got the odd goal or three out of him if we had played him in the right system, as opposed to a wing back system for most of the season? Take last night for example, Jacob Brown and Norton were isolated having long balls whacked up to them - and they looked like a pair of camels. Second half we got Powell closer to the forwards and played through midfield more and Brown looked better. Not rocket science is it?
This is a league where Nathan Jones can get 4 goals in 14 out of a 1 in 3 striker from League Two Walsall and Ismael can get 6 in 15 from Carlton Morris. A player who had only ever hit 1 in 3 for Hamilton Academical previously.
Neither of those players are going to break into the top division, but in a FFP driven world, isn't the whole point having a manager that extracts every last percentage out of what he has and when he has it, rather than just lobbing everything onto the bonfire as complete reject, or using what he has akin to a Sparky using a chisel to strip a wire?
These are the nuances that make or will make all the difference going forwards.
To not get Vokes scoring 20 a season is not a failure. To have him in and around your squad and to score none in 26 league appearances is a different story.

Has he ever not come on from the bench?
I have never believed that 'he must play if fit' clauses existed. However, I honestly can't think of another explanation. Without fail he comes on for the last 20.
