    He’s non league standard, stealing a living in the pro game. Awful player.

    The perplexing thing is, he was a much better player when we plucked him from non league, than he is now after a few seasons playing and training with Championship and League One clubs.

    He always had his flaws, but there was at least something there to work with during that season in the Championship. He might as well not be in the pitch now.

    It's like he's given up trying. Got lazy off of the good service he had from our Championship season and his start to last season.

    His lack of goals have already relegated us once before, don’t be shocked if this absolute donkey single-handedly sends us down again.

    Fans: Stockley's performances this season have been the worst of any striker in the clubs history.

    Bonne: Hold my beer...........

    Now come on. He's dreadful but if there's a striker to blame for us getting relegated it isn't Bonne. 
  • At this point i'd rather we just binned him off and played Kanu. Bonne offers us absolutely nothing except getting offside a lot.

    FWIW i don't think Kanu is ready, but he could surprise us and at least we could use the remaining games to get him ready for next season. What are we doing with Bonne?

    100% 
  • He’s been poor but no coincidence that none of our strikers look like scoring at the moment. Change in formation needed asap. Try 4-4-2 even a diamond with miles and bonne see what happens then.

    Can't believe I was disappointed we didn't give him a 18 month contract rather than 6 months. He just doesn't look like scoring

    Has he had a shot on target yet?

    Louis Mendez found another nice way of putting it: "Macauley Bonne hasn’t scored in 420 days."

    Sounds like me on the pull,  back in the day 
  • I thought the price we got for him from QPR was great business. I didn't think he was great then but now..............

    I thought we bought him from Orient? 🧐

    These are the performances from someone who only has a contract to the end of the season. Dread to think how bad he'd be on an Aneke contract.

    Who were in the National League in 2018/19, which was his last season with them before we signed him.

  • When he returned I’m pretty sure he said he had a point to prove. He’s made it.
  • Will he score before the seasons over, I think it’s fair to say he’s not had a great start, reminds me of Josh Parker, & Hemed, could be end up being another zero achievement, where’s Gary Goals when you need him?
  • Spongefoot, I’d forgotten about him, wondering if Bonne could earn the monicker of Banjo Bonne.

    Feel sorry for him, he tries his best but he is simply nowhere near good enough. We signed him because he was free, ability came second to that. Reckon he will drift into non league football next season.

     Both Parker and Hemed got assists didn't they?

    I can't accept Josh Parker slander after how well he played in the play-off final, link-up play was crucial and more than played his part in the most important game of our season

    Yeah, Hemed is a fair comparison. But Parker, despite not scoring, contributed a lot more than Bonne has managed this time around. To be fair though, Parker was signed to support and be a foil for Taylor, not to carry the front line on his own. Had he been expected to do the job being asked of Bonne I doubt held have done better.

    In fact, you might say Bonne hasn't been the same since he lost Taylor as a partner.

    Bone’s best spell came without Taylor. 

    Pity he’s turned out to be so dire nonetheless .

    Once again, we've gone the lazy route and given somebody a contract probably based on fact that it suits them being near their house/home. 

    These factors are usually linked to desire,motivation and will to win.

    Hemed was a class footballer who we signed significantly in to his terminal decline.  We took a punt that he could cut it as a bit part player at a lower level.  Parker was a competent if unremarkable journeyman who we brought in on the cheap to do us a short-term turn.  Bonne is neither competent nor class.  He is a dreadful footballer who made the most of a big break but got found out very quickly by successive clubs, one of which unaccountably spent a lot of money on him.  There is no comparison between the three.  Our recruitment department should be sacked for re-signing him.  His return was the last straw for my interest for the time being.
