Nothing stuck, didn't make the most of his one good chance. Might have got a pen (I thought he dived). But then none of our starting forwards played well - all a bit static and slow except for the 20 mins before half time when we played with much more pace and Jens was running the show |  | |  |

Very little stuck to hi and when he did try a first time lay off most times it failed. Also missed a glorious chance in the second half 6 yards out. As you say, he needs a goal |  |

I think the Penalty incident could be viewed either way not sure the ref got it wrong . |  | |  |

He hasn’t had a great start to the season and I can’t see him starting much longer! [Post edited 31 Aug 10:30]

Did make one superb pass out to get MacAteer into a good position but the latter made a mess of the chance. Like many of the forwards he probably needs to do one thing really well once to get the confidence to kick on. |  |

Unless he improves dramatically after the international break I will be surprised if he is leading the line for much longer. Tbh, I was just glad he wasn’t on the pitch when we got the penalty as no doubt he would have took it and on yesterday’s performance probably would have missed. |  | |  |

🤷♂️def pen and then we win the game. Can’t see how anyone other than the ref can debate whether that was a pen. |  | |  | Login to get fewer ads

He did make a meal of it, and that's because he took such a poor first touch the ball got away from him so he had to try and buy a penalty to get anything out of it. It was clever play had it been given, but it's one of those I hate against us because the striker instigated contact then goes over. It summed him up yesterday. I don't think he's been very good at all this season - I was surprised when Phil mentioned the neutrals he was with thought he was MOTM against Southampton. |  |

Well i'm not going to argue and at the game i too thought it was but on several viewings and taking Souper Jim 's opinion into consideration now i can see why the Ref did not give it . The yellow was poor maybe just the Ref's way of saying i'm sure that was a dive . |  | |  |

If we scored the penalty that would have put us back in a strong position, but not sure how it could be said with certainty that we win that. |  | |  |
