Will see the best of Ronni next season

I thought the same about Ideye Brown...but then we sold him 

[stubba]

Ronni is better than ideye I believe he will be great once he settles in the country & gets first season under his belt

[tylerm]

Hope so, there is one hell of a striker in there somewhere!

Hope you are right but it can't see it TBH

I think Ideye could of done a job this season with better service than he had last season, as the 2nd half of last season we were just scrapping for points to stay up and he was isolated a lot.

With us now playing further up the pitch I think we would of seen more from Ideye IMO.

Great control and finish for his goal last night.

Not sure we exactly play to his strengths lumping it up to him as he just doesn't compete well enough in the air and the majority of the time it would make no difference as we have no players withing 20-yards of him anyway.

[AshD]

All goals he has scored have come from crosses into the box - we need to get more crosses into him. If we do this, I reckon he will get plenty!

[Albion79]

Good finish from him took it well and looked very relieved too!

I think Evans said after the players were pleased for him so maybe the missed chances had been playing on his mind, hopefully he can relax now and the goals flow!

[Morany]

Nailed on to score against the Villa, he will come good. I'm sure of it

[PsalmXXIII]

He's a forward with ability and he'll finish moves - 17 of his 18 goals last season were within 12 yards. Absolutely essential we make opportunities for him. Sadly relying on crosses from wide to him gets predictable and teams can expect them and defend them. Mix our game up somewhat (only attacking chances yesterday came from wide) and hopefully when we do cross it in it's less predictable. It's a catch 22 situation.

Best thing about Rondon is he makes Big Vic look half decent.

[Pulisisabaggie]

Chuffed for the lad the goal celebration said it all ;like a mountain being lifted from his shoulders.Cant question his genuine intent to good for the Albion time to get behind him I hope he score on Saturday that would worth its weight in gold.Nice and composed finnish good job Rondon.

Hatrick on Saturday

I thought that after his goals v Norwich and Leicester. A well taken goal last night but lets not forget we were playing a side who will most likely be in League 1 next season.

Winning and scoring breed confidence , doesn't really matter on opposition for strikers 

[seteefeet]

Took his goal well but still misses the target too often

[zippyandbungle]

Hatrick on Saturday

Is my feeling too, I think when he clicks some teams will suffer..

You think we'll create 3 chances 
Bit early to be on the grog mate...

[BobTaylor]

Tony has sent him for some blood tests after he said he is feeling tired, Hope he comes back from them and don't decide to do a runner  got to do 10 laps round the pitch tomorrow.

[KingKoren]

It says something that when over half a season has gone we still can't make a conclusive judgement on him. No striker with any common sense would sign for us - unless they were desperate.

[baggie82]

I can make a conclusive judgement on him, he is useless. Get rid, his three game ban was a blessing in disguise.

[Hunnington Baggie]

as I put in the after match debate, he's doing about as well as can be expected to in the way we approach games.

Before the season, I said that 5-8 would be a great season for him and he's gotten 4 so far in all competitions. I wouldn't be surprised if his next goal was in late March...

[caravanc58]

if its our style that doesn't suit him, why haven't we found one that does. wouldn't you normally try and build around your record signing.
I see him as a slight improvement on ideye nothing more than that

[VVVAlbion]

We don't play to our player's strengths, they adapt to our coaches "style".

Honestly, Rondon DOES!!

he tracks back and is good defensively, throws 110% into almost every game, provides variety as he can get on crosses, he can get in behind teams and he can hold a ball up, just not as long as a larger player such as Anichebe, for example.

There isn't a stiker that I personally know of that would be as close to what Pulis wants, other than Rondon and shane Long. Long's problem however is his overall height,  inability to hold a ball from a player all that well, injury record and the fact he's such a diver he makes CMac and Sess look like innocent.

Our system is currently at an extreme of defensive cowardice, to the point the striker is expected to defend corners, you cannot expect a striker of any caliber to be able to work sufficiently in that environment and get double figures. His job is be a pain in the backside, defend and get corners. That's about it.

[Droitwich Baggie]

basically...
Pullis has killed him as a player who can perform.
