But what is also true is last time in league 1 he scored 12 league goals which lets face it is more than any if our players this season and 1 less than what Stockley got last season
Meaning he can score
However as with Stockley we are not playing to his strengths, well will this club and our managers(i really like Holden but he is getting this wrong) learn we need to play 2 upfront
1 upfront doesn't work, it didn't work with Stockley and its not working with Bonne.
We play best with 2 upfront, we looked slightly better when Aneke and Bonne were up top together
All the best teams in this league play 2 up front, I have been saying it all season and will carry on saying it till im blue in the face
We won't get anywhere playing 1 up front
I agree, especially when the 1 up front is pants. Bonne is actually worse now than when he was first with us. I actually thought he might have changed, seeing as he got 10 goals for Ipswich last season. But nope. He is what he has always been, a non league footballer who got lucky.
And people ridicule me when I said we should have signed Stockton. Or better, Bishop before he joined Pompey.
Our strikers today had 1 goal between them all season. I'll see my sesson ticket out this season (picking games when I can be arsed) but wont be getting one next season, or even going regularly, until we signed a forward WHO CAN SCORE 20 GOALS A SEASON.
Maintained from day one that this guy to is at best a pub league player who has managed to get lucky. Fair play to him living the dream but wish he was doing it somewhere else.
He just never seems to read where the ball is going. Time after time he makes the wrong runs and ends up nowhere near the ball. Good strikers have a nack for being in the right place at the right time. Bonne is the opposite. Thank f#@k we can send him packing at the end of the season.
Think he will end up in League 2 next season (not with us before anyone says it) possibly back in National League. Not good enough for League 1. He has had a good journey now though for a limited player.
I’ve always thought him pony , with the odd flash of non ponage but he’s still pony and possibly more ponier than before . I still think he tries so not all bad .
what a shocker of a signing this one is looking. Game by game it’s getting worse. Looks a shell of the player we had in the Championship a couple of years ago
As soon as we are safe we need to drop him completely. Thank God we can release him in the summer. Stockley was poor but Bonnie's only contribution is an uncanny knack of finding the linesman's flag on a regular basis..

I thought he was shit in the championship so no surprise he's still shit now.
He has little to no ability and his contribution to the team is and always was non-existent. Even when he used to scuff a shot in it was nothing literally any other body playing in his position couldn't and wouldn't have done.
He's showing precisely why it really was better to not sign anyone than it was to sign him in the summer.
I don't blame Bonne, I blame our recruitment team who are supposed to be Professional's, and be be able to identify what it is that we need. Bonne was never that player. He can look decent as a second striker alongside a dynamic main striker like Lyle Taylor for example. But he's not the "off the shoulder" type, pacy forward that can play up top on his own, that we were crying out for.
500k from qpr would’ve been great business, £2m was criminal and whoever negotiated that should really be up in the dock alongside Southall cos they’re a shyster
he is indeed worse than stockley and having paid a tenner to stream yesterday I watched the first 45 seconds when we made an apparently lively start, a couple of good passes and bits of energy from Fraser and I think Morgan and got ourselves deep into their third before finding bonne close to the byline who turned and attempted to swipe a cross into the box but threw his right leg out with a technique similar to me hurling a golf club in anger across the golf course after just sending a ball into the water or something (I don’t play golf) , and sliced the ball into their fans about 5 yards away from him , was probably closer to the corner flag than making it into their six yard area or peno spot. Got up and walked out after that and returned just as their peno was awarded. Tenner well spent! Should’ve kept that and taken it down to Charlton Park this morning to spend on a better forward.
league two (conference?) for him again next season, thank god it was a short term contract so we will be free to find ourselves a much better unattached/unwanted striker in the summer, when does Omar Bogle’s current contract expire?
I can’t understand why anyone is surprised by this. We absolutely pulled QPR’s pants down when we got a hefty sum for this absolute joke of a footballer. As a point of principle, I refuse to pay for a stream if this guy is involved and if by some strange happenchance we re-employ him next season I’m out.

Once again, a classic example of our recruitment team having to feed off scraps. I said on hearing his resigning that I was “not happy one little bit” and got a few LOL’s. That opinion remains.

His game then was dreadful but disguised by a few goals. His contribution when he does not score is zero and he doesn't score enough to carry him.
Park footballer, always has been. Gallen should be fired for bringing him back.

What I don’t understand is how someone can be caught offside so often. Surely that’s a game awareness part of the game that can be worked on in training.
That being said, I have some sympathy for him. For the most part our striker in the 3 has looked pretty naff this year, Leaburn being the exception - though even then I thought he looked better when he was playing in a wide role or when we played a 2.
The way we utilise our striker feels like someone like Victor Adeboyejo, who has a bit of pace, physicality and can play with his back to goal would have been a much better bet.
But then again he cost a transfer fee, and we didn’t spend anything.
Firstly I doubt if we got anywhere near £2m for him, as that figure probably included lots of add ons. As for him coming back, when the brief for players, is on a free or a loan, what do you expect?

Adeboyejo would have been ideal , think Bolton paid around £400k for him.
Lets be clear - I too think Bonne is hopeless. But I do actually have a bit of sympathy for him given he is being asked to play effectively a loan striker role (and sympathy for anyone else asked to play that role here).
As one or two others have said above, he is just not suited to play a loan striker role. It is hardly surprising therefore he is so crap at it. Stockley was equally unsuited to the role and it finished him here. Aneke was hopeless trying to play the role the other night.
Miles Leaburn is the only striker we have who can remotely play it. And he's a special talent who won't be here next season.
1 goal in 42 games is awful. Unless we change the role Bonne is being asked to play Bonne is going to finish the season with one goal.
He offered nothing yesterday. Should have been taken off at half time. His lack of movement yesterday was non existent especially in around the box. Classic example first half.CBT (the only time) puts in a low cross to the 6 yard box which is cut out by the Derby defender. Bonne is just static. Nothing. No movement to front or back post does not drop back to create an angle.

Apart from all that, he brings a lot to the team.

This season just needs to end now.
