| Ivan The Terrible 15:53 - Apr 19 with 1478 views | Clutch | This may be controversial. But I hope we keep him whatever division we are in. Obviously we need more up front, but I like his style. |  | | |  |
| Ivan The Terrible on 15:54 - Apr 19 with 1445 views | Radlett_blue | Hmm..if we go up & want to stay up, we will need 2 new strikers (as well as many other reinforcements). |  |

| Ivan The Terrible on 15:54 - Apr 19 with 1440 views | GeoffSentence | I like him too. I'd like him even more if he was more ruthless in front of goal. |  |

Hopeless finisher, but i really like his game outside of that. |  |

| Ivan The Terrible on 15:55 - Apr 19 with 1411 views | FrimleyBlue | Difficult one. Good game today. Lots of good link in play. But in the box he seems to lose all his balance and doesnt make the most of the chances that come his way. |  |

This is it for me. If he could finish, he could probably do a job in the Premier League, but that side of his game is really lacking. |  |

I think we need 2 whatever happens, division just decides the calibre of recruit. |  | |  |
| Ivan The Terrible on 15:58 - Apr 19 with 1347 views | cbower | Championship maybe. Premier league, no chance. He works hard, can sometimes hold it up with nice touches but his finishing is dire. In the Premier League, chances will be at a premium and his misses won't see us miss out on promotion, they will likely relegate us. [Post edited 19 Apr 15:59]

| Ivan The Terrible on 15:59 - Apr 19 with 1341 views | Chrisd | He’s not an EPL striker, but in our squad we’d need an overhaul as many of our squad aren’t good enough for that step up in level IMO. We’d have exactly the same problem as last season. |  |

| Ivan The Terrible on 16:00 - Apr 19 with 1309 views | armchaircritic59 | Needs a top class striking coach to work with him. Get that and he learns, he could be quite something. He's got most other attributes, and he appears to have an extra lung! Works his socks off. |  | |  |
| Ivan The Terrible on 16:01 - Apr 19 with 1275 views | itfcsuth | He’s improved, he’s very likeable, he’s nowhere near the standard we need. |  | |  |

He's had some bad luck with goalkeepers pulling off worldies and woodwork being uncooperative too. His general game is pretty good - I'd like him as a third/second striker in the Prem, and if we don't make it I can see him being a joint first choice striker in the Championship with a new signing, plus maybe SWE as a challenger. |  |

If you want autos I don’t think he is the man |  |
|  |
| Ivan The Terrible on 16:10 - Apr 19 with 1145 views | LankHenners | I think there's a lot to like about him but he's not got the pace or finishing quality necessary for the Prem. I'd happily have him around if we do end up back in the Championship again. Either way need an overhaul in that area of the pitch. |  |

| Ivan The Terrible on 16:20 - Apr 19 with 1065 views | waveneyblue | Personally I think he is getting better and definitely has something about him. I would be quite sad to see him go back at the end of the season. |  | |  |

Didnt mean to downvote |  | |  |
| Ivan The Terrible on 16:21 - Apr 19 with 1031 views | jas0999 | Very inconsistent. Doesn’t score enough goals. Not PL quality. If we fail to get promoted, we will need better. If we go up, we will need two or three new strikers. |  | |  |
| Ivan The Terrible on 16:23 - Apr 19 with 989 views | Blue_Heath | We need two new strikers regardless of league plus another CM. |  |

Apart from the main thing he’s employed to do, he’s great! |  |

No I would agree. I don’t want to be too critical of him, because he is very likeable, his attitude seems impeccable, but if we are being ruthless, which we were when we chopped the B2B boys for this crop, then let’s do so. |  | |  |

Modern strikers don't need to score Illy, that's the official line now. We look a much better team with him playing, rather than Hirst, but that finishing issue is too big a weakness for me. |  |

Ha yes, and what's next I wonder. Modern goalkeepers don't need to save? Just goes to show how idiotic the " official " line is. |  | |  |
| Ivan The Terrible on 20:33 - Apr 19 with 430 views | ITFC_Forever | Yet another non-scoring striker. We’ve had plenty of them over the years. Him and Hirst’s combined insufficient number of goals are part of the reason we’re flapping about when we should be up with Cov. |  |
