To be honest, I haven't been impressed with the lad at all. The jury is still out.

Apart from his movement, which has looked decent, he's looked weak and poor on the ball.

His header against Burnley was a decent take, but it was a free header, I'd expect any striker
worth their salt to take that. He did show a bit more effort and aggression after getting annoyed,
but still looked poor on the ball.

What worries me is that every routine lay off to a midfielder is a heart in mouth moment. On Sunday,
he almost set Burnley up with a third when failing to execute a simple pass into midfield.

Hopefully the goal increases his confidence, because given that he's not going to contribute much to
play - he does need to be taking his chances.

I expect TP will him against Swansea in place of Sess, now he knows he can stick his head on the ball.
As much as I hate to admit it, set plays are likely to be our best chance against Swansea. Let's hope
he can show the same aggression again.

Thrilled for this player,last night he gave so much for WBA he has a fantastic football brain,he's no mug.Good luck to him for the rest of the season,i think he can get into double figures,and help WBA stay in the Prem.Must mention Berahino too,played his heart out second half and scored,not bad for a player who "wants away"stick with us Saido and build a future at the Albion along with Brown.

Looks very good news - I just hope he stops getting booked every game, as we don't need him suspended. What was it for last night?

He went into a 50/50 two-footed, got the ball and player together. Great to see the fighting spirit, but he deserved the booking.

If only Big Vic were still fit, he was starting to score goals as well. Three decent forwards scoring goals, that's what we've needed for a long time.

Is this guy a joke though? Built like the proverbial brick sh*thouse but falls over if there's a strong wind, and is SO injury prone that you wonder whether he's available for even 25% of our games.
I really want to like him but IMO so far he's been a complete waste of money Angry
