Yes, isn't it? I thought the same. He has scored a few cracking headed goals during his time in the team, but his ability with his feet has been a revelation recently. That's one valuable attribute if he can go on mixing it like that.
Nearly repeated the trick in the first half on Saturday.
Not only did he score another well taken goal he played really well , not the sign of a terrible player.
As someone who's defended SB on these pages (I think I once suggested that he'd be sold for a big fee...though to be honest I wasn't thinking as a striker) yet said his passing as a midfielder was not up to scratch and that when he was off-form he needed a spell on the bench, what struck me on Saturday was how much more deft his touch and accurate his passing was as a front player. Of course there is less pressure on you as a striker as your mistakes don't often lead to goals against.
His goal was mi**** but I'll let that one go RM. If you think he'll turn out to be like Chris Sutton then fair play to you but for me he will remain a poor player who is currently enjoying a decent spell.
Great contribution as always
Trouble is Jay your predictions and opinions have been well of the mark this season may be you should start going to a game.
