I genuinely believe an in form hungry zahore is the difference between play offs and top two, yes we have flaws like most teams in the division and plenty have decent strikers but the zahore of half of last season was unplayable at times and he carried us at times. I do hope his head is right and he can recapture that form.
Overall today 7/10 opinions?

Today he reminded us what he is, an inside forward who wants to play in the space between the right back and centre half. Unless we get a midfield passer in the next two weeks then Tomlin has to be a starter as he can lock into our Kenny's strengths

I wish Etheridge would occasionally roll the ball out during games as this constant long ball kicking is useless. Zahore certainly can’t head the ball or flick it on in those situations and Manga was often asking for the ball short from the keeper.
It’s possibly Warnocks instructions but I wish they’d vary it.

Don't blame Etheridge for ignoring Manga. The less time he spends on the ball the better!

A bit better but way off his form from last season, but at least he looked a bit more interested and did well in the build up for the Ralls goal Just for the record i want him to do well and when does i will say so and hopefully when he does hit form again it could be the difference between Automatic Promotion and the Play Offs

Has he learned how to defend yet?
