Anyone know the extent of HRKâ€™s injury?

Good news, reports suggesting that West Bromwich Albion player, Hal Robson-Kanu's injury not as bad as first feared...

The fact that his injury isn't too bad is indeed good news.
It's also a positive in as much as Darren Moore will have to think his team line up without having HRK either starting or on the bench.
Hopefully we see the return of Gayle in the central striker role.

Just want to give a shout out to HRK scored a lovely header today he doesn't deserve half of the stick he gets on here and he's the only one of our strikers that offers a bit of physicality upfront he's just a bit inconsistent with his performances.

We miss him, I would play him either over Gayle or Jrod

JRod was absolutely fantastic yesterday. The amount of work he put in and his intelligence were top drawer. Sometimes he has quiet games and sometimes he has a poor game like against Forest but fans don't appreciate a lot of what he does. Jay is one of those players who you don't properly appreciate till you don't have him. Not to mention ultra dependable on penalties and he's fired 17 goals this season.

Fair play to Robson-Kanu it was clear he wasn't fit yesterday and could only manage to play 45 minutes but that 45 minutes was enough to win us the game.

Outstanding management by Moore. He knew we were in the proverbial with regards to forwards but he used HRK for a half then took him off and made us sit in and defend the lead second half, even playing Sam Field in an unusual role and Field did his job for the team as well.

HRK is never going to get many goals and he isn't as good a hold up player as Rondon or if you roll back the years Marc fortune. But he puts a shift in and he offers physicality which we don't have up there.

He was clearly struggling from the off yesterday and was obviously played through the pain barrier. Hasn't got the goals his hard work has warranted so chuffed he got a goal today. Well done son

Played well yesterday and scored a cracking header while on the pitch, on evidence of last few games there is a footballer in there somewhere and I'd just wish he'd show us more often. Gripe over well done Kanuuuuuuuuuuu

AlbionFan · « **Reply #758 on:** February 17, 2019, 03:21:05 PM »

I could never fault him for effort, commitment and dedication. I also do like him as a person from what Iâ€™ve seen of him. He gave so much of himself for the cause yesterday. Thank you Hal!

SmethDan · « **Reply #759 on:** February 17, 2019, 03:47:18 PM »

Played an important role yesterday when clearly not fully fit.

Well done Hal and thank you for helping us SOTV at their own bog heap

I have been a big critic of him, but fair do's he was great yesterday.

Kanu will be fondly remembered by me after scoring that goal yesterday I'm still glowing

He's still pooh, but if he scores more like yesterday I won't point it out as often

He's rubbish. Goal was a fluke. He could try that header another hundred times and it not go in. Delighted with the win, and when he does perform he's worth his place wide right in our system as a left footer. Problem is he turns up once in a blue moon.

Fluke?

He could have dropped his pants and swung his tallywacker at it for all I care.

I didn't notice whether last night's moon was blue but the Vilers were come full time.

Strange that given #theyreallydon'tcareaboutus - much

Hal's header and the Hand of Rod' are right up there as contenders for goal of the season for me

Never been a fan of HRK, however I fail to recall many better headed goals.

Particularly when you discount â€œbulletâ€ headers.

Rondon's against Swansea 2 years back was the best one I've seen - when he got the hat-trick, the way he guided it was incredible. I do agree though, HRK's was an excellent header.

chipperclark · « **Reply #770 on:** February 17, 2019, 10:38:55 PM »

Reminded me of "The King" when he used to glance his headers. Not in "The King" class..but maybe we should get off his back ...as he did score against the Vile

Dan · « **Reply #771 on:** February 18, 2019, 01:57:54 AM »

He was excellent against Villa but I wouldn't be too revisionist on his impact.....he still only scored or assisted 1 in the previous 24 (and none in the previous 12) before that game, which is not really acceptable when you see how prolific Barnes, Gayle, and Rodriguez have all been as part of the front 3.

When he's on it like Saturday or against Leeds he can be a real asset....but unfortunately those games don't come often enough, and through no lack of trying. When Phillips is back i'd hope he'd feature in the front 3 with Gayle and Rodriguez.

Doesn't score anywhere near enough , sometimes beats himself .....and yet at this level so important to this side especially against physical sides .
I can't help but like him much like Fortune

I was actually pleased to see him coming on at half time. I am worried for myself.

gazberg · « **Reply #774 on:** March 29, 2019, 11:04:51 PM »

Yep, make no bones about it this is his level but he's winning me over. We actually miss him and he can supply a physical threat. Cannot believe i've wrote this sentence.
