Mbwana Samatta. Sold. Puns still banned.

Mainly, he just looked like a proper striker. The 'miss' as said above wasn't as clear cut as it initially  looked and it was good to see him attacking the space. I don't think we've had that nearly enough off any of our strikers, or stand in strikers, this season.

I also thought he looked good I think he will do well for us.

Haina kufeli!!!

I think Percy reviewed her on the Birmingham Press website.

Great goal by hkm. Suffered by a lack of quality. Had ti drop deep because we didnt have anyone creating anything

[PaulWinch again]

Well done Sama, only positive.

[Risso]

Pleased for him, hopefully the first of lots.

I think we need to learn the right ball for him, as we were too keen in the first half to pump the ball high rather than into the channel.

Good reactions in the box. First of many I hope.

He is much better than Wesley imo even if that isn't a particularly high bar. Knows how to play the lone striker role anyway.

We really needed this signing in August. Poor from the recruitment side.

[aj2k77]

Extremely poor from recruitment if as is suggested he was on the radar in the summer but they decided Wesley was the better bet as a lone striker....  it beggars belief.

Stupid recruitment in the summer with the striker options. Same can be said for sending Chessie to Stoke and reducing the defensive cover options in case of injuries.

That's two he could have had already. Fingers crossed that we've found a good un.

The only thing id say to that is at least he was on our radar and no-one else has gone in for him so its good scouting if it comes off. As for Chester, I was sorry to see him go because players like that round the dressing room are valuable. We've got Engels back now so Chester would have not made the bench and he needed game time. He may have wanted to go out on loan with the Euro's coming up. I think we owed him that.

What I liked was when Grealish picked the ball up for the chance that went through the keepers legs, as soon as Jack got the ball Samatta absolutely bust a gut to pull away and find a position in the penalty area for a cross. Wesley would have stood there staring or limbered casually to the edge of the box.

He is hungry for goals and picks up the right positions to find them.

He does have good movement. He also has tiny shorts. It was like Gary Shaw had picked his and Jack's sizes.

But as he gets sharper, he could prove to be the difference between us getting 12-15 points to stay up.

[RamboandBruno]

Thought that whilst he missed a couple of sitters vrs Leicester midweek, he made some great runs across the box, the sort of runs big wes didn’t seem to understand how to make. Hopefully the goal yesterday will give him confidence and we can get 6 or 7 goals out of him, could make all the difference
