But for some reason I really really like him, can’t put my finger on it |  | | |  |

Thought he had a game of 2 halves last night.
First half he was pretty hopeless, summed up by lashing that chance over the bar, when all he had to do was pass it either side of the defender.
Second half he was much better, linked play up pretty well, and made some decent runs in behind.
I'd put another striker as our number one requirement for January though. There is a lot I like about him, but I'm just not sure that he is the answer for us. |  |

Ellis Simms would be the next Marcus Stewart IMO but would take a hefty bid to get him out of Cov |
Can't agree with that. He's looked a pretty immobile lump whenever I've seen him play.
We need our number 9 to run and run and run all game. | |

That comment was a reply about Ellis Simms, not Azon, just for clarity! | |

Absolutely not. He's got a bit better but he requires everyone else to do his running. Decent finisher but he's just not mobile. |
Perhaps surprisingly, Ian Westlake seemed to suggest last night that he was the quickest of our players over 5 yards.
He is only 22, and does appear to be adapting to the physicality of English football. | | | |

I subsequently realised that and amended my post. | | | |

Not seen anything about him which makes me think he would be worth the fee. We didn't want him for what Coventry paid, doubt we will want him at quite a substantial amount more than that.

I like him, he's got quite a bit about him. Technically good, decent movement, and works his nuts off. Second half I thought he played well and his contributions could easily have led to a second goal. His finishing really needs work though, completely lashed at what was a very good chance last night when he had plenty of time and he has missed other good chances too. He's underperforming his xG quite significantly.
I'm less in the "we need a new striker" camp than others though. Hirst hasn't been as effective as we'd all hoped but he's still integral to the way we play and hopefully the goal against Coventry will give him a lift. I think Azon and Akpom are good enough as back up. If the right player came along then I'd be tempted but I don't think it's a priority. I think we're more in need of a specialist 10 and cover for Matusiwa and Davis. |  |

To be clear my comment was on Ellis Simms. Think you though I was talking about Azon :) |  |

Yeah I agree, whilst Simms is clearly a good player he’s not the player we need.
That’s why I also don’t particularly agree with the calls for Akpom to play as the 9.
Although he’s not finished the chances he should’ve this season I really like Azon, his style suits us. |  |

I think he's still trying to adjust. The Championship with it's pace and physical nature is a huge departure from the technical leagues of Spain and Italy. Realistically, it'll take him most of the season to get used to it but we live in an era of impatience.
He struggles with his back to goal but makes decent runs and has obvious technical ability. His finishing has been a bit wild at times but he's getting into good positions and took his goal well on Saturday.
I think he'll come good, although I wouldn't mind a pacey option up top so we can mix things up a bit more. | | | |

I’d get Joel Piroe from Leeds, either perm or loan
He’s not getting much game time in the PL
