Still early days to judge him. But let's do it anyway haha
Positives
Has a decent hard strike on him
Looks to make runs in behind, something we have been missing for donkeys years.
Negatives
Not particularly quick or physical
Doesn't link play well at all
His headers are awful. Completely misstimes his jump and doesn't generate any power. Also loses any aerial duels.
Hopefully he's still a bit rusty and getting up to speed but to me it looks like he's playing a division too high at the moment. Would be better off in League 1. Probably needs Gallacher up there to create chances for him and do the rough stuff, but Cannon isn't small himself and should put himself about more physically.
A 5 out of 10 so far this season thanks to scoring 4 in one game.

Frankly, I don’t think he’s all that good. He’s reasonably decent and can finish, and does make some good runs, but he just doesn’t convince me he’s going to be a player that will get 12 goals a season or more. He’s got some good attributes but he’s not particularly clinical and his general play isn’t great. Having said all this, he’s quite young still, and may come good, he’s an out and out striker (which I like), just think those sorts of players need to take a higher percentage of clear chances than he’s doing.

He,s shown he needs a striking partner to bring the best out of him.

A bit like Stein alongside Regis, Thorne alongside Lighthorne or Fuller alongside Sidibe. Cannon will be very good alongside Gallagher so long as he stays fit if not we need another type like him in January. Personally when on his own I don't think he's great but a target man to link and he's perfect

Compared to the rubbish we have had to endure in recent times he will do for me. He’s at least getting into positions and getting shots away where our previous lot couldn’t even be bothered. With more game time and sharpness and hopefully a fit Gallagher to get a run going with, we will see more goals.

Personally when on his own I don't think he's great but a target man to link and he's perfect Id agree with you on Fuller /Sidebe but not sure Regis and Lightbourne brought the best out of Steino and Thorne. Stein did it alongside anystriker he played with including Shaw who was the total opposite of Regis |

This is the same Cannon that scored four against Portsmouth? Mind you Portsmouth is a League 1 standard team. He definitely needs a big CF like Gallagher to play off. |

He needs Gallagher to do the dirty work for him; as shown in the Portsmouth game. However, he did try hard yesterday.

Clearly not a link up player or one to lump the ball up to. He’ll probably score more than enough to make up for it, but might be part of the reason Leicester didn’t consider him for their squad this season. Only very young though, maybe looking 43 doesn’t help him.

When you compare him, he's no better than Brown, who's just scored for Luton after an injury lay-off.

A bit anonymous yesterday yet he still got himself into decent positions to be a threat. Not sure I'd spunk a load of money on him but he's winning me round.

Think the jury's still out.
He doesn't look good on a 1 v 1.
The 4 goals were a one off and he had Gally really helping.
Confidence and consistency don't seem there yet.
Maybe still needs more time.

If he couldn't reach it then obviously he couldn't score it. looked like he jumped for it & it brushed the top of his head ie he couldn't reach it I do sit block 8 so not the best view of it & haven't seen a replay my brother said same as you , I was gobsmacked & just thought he simply wasn't quite tall enough , he definitely jumped if he could/should have got his forehead on it then he should have scored |

The only decent game he's had (probably underselling it there...4 goals is more than decent) was when he had a target man alongside him. We keep signing these small, weak poacher types without realising that the only way you ever get anything out of them is by partnering them with a big lad.
Until Gallagher is fit again, he'll be hopeless.

Our final ball is still atrocious, he’s making the runs it’s just that none of our players can pass water

I'd rather have someone who scored one every game that someone who gets four every fourth game. Not very good in the air going by Saturday's game. Got to give him a bit more time, but can't say I'm overly impressed.

Until Gallagher is fit again, he'll be hopeless. Have to agree with that. Quite concerning actually. Have we got the option to bring Lowe back? Not ideal of course but maybe someone to try to play alongside him. |

Needs a Gallagher type (As many strikers do - they aren't all Messi).
Personally I am a fan of having 2 up front anyway - that's a personal bias because the best-scoring teams I played for always had 2 up there.
He gets into dangerous areas and not afraid of taking a shot - we only need someone to kick a ball to him.
Noticed that he keeps his head up.
Has a good name for a striker.
Hope he's durable.
We'll see. Still early but bloody hell, 4 goals in one game is an indicator at any level.

I think he’s very fortunate to be getting the amount of minutes he currently is.
Personally I’d drop him and play Koumas upfront & replace Cannon with an extra body in central midfield. We can’t continue playing with this formation, as we are getting over run & I think I’d sacrifice Cannon for the good of the team.
Cannon has had one good game where everything he hit went in, other than that he’s been poor. His link up play is so bad & he’s missed a few really good chances.

Late on when Manhoef ran through and tried to square it to him, Cannon was hiding.
He’s been a flat track bully so far. The Pompey game was like Graeme Hick scoring a hundred against Scotland.

Post by greenhoff on Oct 22, 2024 22:20:06 GMT
I think he’s really poor. He seems completely unable to pass a ball ten yards and his all round game is mediocre. How he’s so highly rated is absolutely beyond me. Portsmouth apart he’s been dreadful.
