Whatever else happens in our final 11 games this season, Samatta (2 goals in 5 appearances) has to play the full 90+ minutes in each game. It is no good substituting a proven goalscorer with an unproven goalscorer. If Davis or Borja have to come on then it must not be at the expence of Samatta, but alongside him in a 2 up front formation.

Nail on the head. He's a goalscorer, so there's always a chance for goal while he's on the pitch.

It does make you wonder how exactly we scouted forwards from Belgium in the summer and somebody thought spending triple the price on Wesley was the better option!

Even more worrying is that thought was then agreed with by the powers that be.

Like an above poster has aaid i think its age and the potentail he could become a  brazil international

Guaranteed legendary status if his goals secure our PL status this season.

Looking forward to him playing a starring role up front. Because he gonna have to play a big part
Think he has shown very decent movement and play as well as some nice goals.
He was just getting there with his fitness but then football had to stop.
I do wonder where he'll be at levels because he was playing catch up but then in many respects he'll be getting up to speed like the rest of the premier league stars from every club.
Think he could be very special for us for goals let's go Sama goal !

He isn't  on loan. We just took on the rest of his contract which runs out at the end of the season.

Disappointing header today. It was a very good chance, and to miss the target altogether, well, I'm just glad it didn't cost us on the day. Moved well, harried and hassled, but ffs start banging chances away!

There's still players who just don't look like they've clicked after the break and he's one. He looked more of a threat after we signed him.

He needs better service overall. Yes he should have done better with the header but overall our cross was average at best. Especially from the left. Conor’s left foot wasn’t at its best.

I thought our crosses from open play were decent but our crosses from set pieces were naff.

He drives like he plays football, poorly. He came out of the Belfry up to Dunton Island and then swerved across 2 lanes cutting up me and nearly hitting a bloke in a camper van to get on the M42.

Twat.

A few years back Ian Rush (same as Samatta) did the same to me by Salford Bridge. I wanted to head up Gravelly Hill and the lethally prolific goalscorer (unlike Samatta) cut right across me to get on the M6 north.

We have by far the worst attacking options in the top flight. In fact there are probably quite a few championship clubs with better strikers than we have to choose from.
