Too lazy for me . Not unlike Watt . If we're going to get promoted we can't rely on these type of players . Having said that I would love to be proven wrong.
Was BWP a workhorse in our title winning season? I think we should play to Ajose's strengths or sell him if he doesn't fit the system.
I thought Wright-Phillips was very lazy, but he scored goals and that was what he was paid to do.
Killer very rarely left the box or chased down, but when there was a opportunity for a goal or a punch up he had the energy to get there, lamp the defender AND bury the ball.
Last year in all competition, he had 12 goals and 3 assists. The year before he had 25 goals and.... zero assists.
37 goals over two years and three assists? Doesn't that seem low?
That doesn#t paint the whole picture unfortunately. For us he was shocking and does not suit the way we play. If we are going to be 4-2-3-1 then that 1 has to be mobile, able to hold the ball up and bring others in to play, potent when he gets a chance and an intelligent and willing runner. Ajose isn't any of those really. He can run about a bit but was as lethal as Churchinho.
Magennis isn't perfect but he gives defenders a headache because he is in their faces - Ajose always looked deflated so the defender has a mental victory from the start
Didn't go much last season, but wasn't he played out of his natural striker position for much of the time (ie. pushed out wide and deeper) ?
Not early on. He was playing in a 442 under Slade but it wasn't working as poor service from midfield plus he was wasteful in front of goal when chances did come to him.
He then got dropped by Slade or played wide by Slade and Tarbuck where he didn't do well.

If I remember rightly, when Killer joined Derby, their fans complained that he did nothing outside the box, but he still scored
