Koumas is far more dynamic leading the line. Stating the obvious but the only way Cannon will work is when he's playing alongside Gallagher.

He can finish, but not much else to his game, he won't go far, needed a lot more from him tonight. One time tonight Junior put a great ball across the face of goal and he was near the penalty spot awful when that is all he has to his game.

He made quite a few runs last night where he wasn’t spotted. He also makes those moves that don’t get noticed because we’re all watching the ball where he takes a defender away to give someone else the space. Sure there are parts to his game to improve, like any player in this division at his age, but he wasn’t the problem last night.

He's very good....a player who will put in the back of the net, given half a chance. The sort of player we have wanted for a while He not going to be great all the time  |

It leaves us woefully weak and short in midfield and we will be overrun. I maintain Cannon is the problem at the moment because he can’t lead the line and is not good enough as our main striker. When we try to compliment him with another striker we fall apart in midfield. I would drop him. |

Head coach already said he’s not going too , I don’t disagree with yo biut tis not how NP sees it which may well say a lot |

I am amased how many time when he does shoot he doesn’t hit it clean which does whether thet smit it or nit indicate a confidence or technical issue or both since his injury

His movement is really good, really good awareness for the Koumas goal on Tuesday, defo can finish and is decent in the air.
His passing is shockingly bad at times though

With Gallagher unlikely to play too many games,we either have to bring someone in who is similar,or let Cannon go.

Don't think he's shit just not as good as hoped. He's descent but I think we could do better. |

Scored 4 in one game.
4 out of 10 in his other games.
Needs to improve.., a lot.

If we ain't going to play him with a strike partner,then don't play him.

I like him. Looks genuinely gutted at the end of a match when he hasn’t scored or we’ve not won. Makes a nice change for a striker to look like he cares rather than high fiving everyone around.

Agree with whoever said about the off-the-ball movement. A few games he’s made a number of the runs from the shoulder of one defender to meet the ball on the other side - regularly the ball has either come too late, not at all or sloppily delivered. He’s not blameless but he’s looking a lot more ineffective because he’s being supplied ineffectively pretty regularly.
The Hull game in particular, if Manhoef gets his head up Cannon could easily have had two or three.

time to get behind them now, they need encouraging not running down, just let them know while players are here you will get behind them

I think he’s looked the best forward we’ve had for quite some time. I’m sure he’ll get going, you don’t score four in one game then suddenly never score again

He fucked the header right up 🤣 His header in the second half was equally as woeful. |

Imagine slagging off a striker that gets zero service. Our final ball is abysmal. He makes good runs and gets in good areas. He’s already proved he knows where the net is given the right pass against Portsmouth, that’s evidence enough for me

I thought he did alright the other night against Bristol..... Got the nod-down for Koumas's goal, and basically made a nuisance of himself at least during the first half, haring defenders!!!
He may not have scored, but after we got our two goals, I doubt any stoke player would have scored again once Bristol finally kicked in!!!
That said, his job is to score, and he needs to start doing it a bit more regularly..... 4 goals in one game still only gets us 3 points!!!

The Hull game in particular, if Manhoef gets his head up Cannon could easily have had two or three. He definitely would have scored two of those. Cannon was running along onside and unmarked right in front of the goal - tap ins if Manhoef passes the ball to him. And I'm not slagging off Million - if he adds the ability to keep his head up in the final third, we'll have something special going on. As they play more together, Million should come to expect to see Cannon in those spaces - they may learn to play off each other. |

Heading clearly isn’t his forte The one in the second half, he jumped for about 2 years too early. Awful attempt. And the assist looked the same. Jumped too soon, spannered the header and found its way to Koumas. |
