    Kyogo was like that a lot of the time he was here, where he would score but miss a good number of easier chances.

    Don’t get me wrong I believe Kyogo was a superior player than Idah or at least the version of him for the first 2.5 seasons.

    Idah gets criticism because he isn’t a £9m striker. He was probably a £5-6m signing in the modern market, I know we got GG for a snip at £2.5m but his club had been relegated. Plus the fact several top scoring players in Holland have failed to replicate that form elsewhere would have been a contributing factor there, he was also a good few years older when we signed him than Idah.

    He has a good chance of breaking the 20 goal barrier this season for the first time in his career. I don’t mind Idah defending himself but I do believe there is something lacking in his mentality to get the most out of his game.

    Aye he came on and knew he was scoring..

    Forced the red was good movement
    Unlucky with the volley he caught clean
    Strikers goal
    Slightly greedy when he took it away from McArdle snd scuffed it with his left

    Much more like it impact wise..

    Unlucky with the volley as well, as I thought he was onside.

    Ended up working himself a platform to kick on again next season when a lot had written him off.

    20 goals is a great return. Still time to add to it too.

    Getting 20 goals is impressive all things considered.

    He'll be even better, with the confidence of a full pre season behind him.

    No matter your opinion on him he scores plenty, which is the main thing.

    Nice. 20 goal season when he's barely played and had his fair share of poor performances too. Hope he can kick on.

    I'm still inclined to saying he wasn't worth as much as we paid, but nowhere near worthy of the criticism he receives... Just a price you pay for modern EPL players with potential... Popping in 20+ a season is not to be sniffed at...

    He definitely has potential to be excellent and terrible in equal measure... To score important stuff and then play like he can only do it if we're comfortable... Not sure if it's confidence, effort, luck, totally random...

    Really hope he screws the head, works on himself over the summer and has a good preseason and shows all he has next year... If he's still not knocking the door for automatic first choice forward I'd imagine he'll be looking at transfers in January or next summer

    Glad he’s got another goal, he’s always going to get judged because of his fee.

    Thing is a few of us said at the start of the season that’s been paid off really due to his contributions last season that’s saw us into the Champions league and trophies we won.

    Still think we need to get another forward in this summer.
