Would go as far as saying we don't need another striker until The summer , always rated him. Go do it for Wales now

For all the criticism 99% of us have given him he's doing the job and his finish yesterday was absolute class and not for the first time.

"Hal Robson-Kanu has also reversed his decision to retire from international football. Striker is enjoying his most prolific ever season and is back available for Wales."

He's rubbish, a half dozen game purple patch doesn't negate the previous 3 years.

Strange timing, I'm assuming there's some connection with the Cardiff game.  I'm not sure if this announcement will make him more or less popular in Wales....the Cardiff fans will be indifferent to it at best I think.

If you can get hold of the free paper "Metro", he gives an interview in it.

Does any player run at full pelt towards the ball, a much as hrk, only to pull up if it looks like a bit of work? both he and Phillips spend all of their time hiding when we're in possession

Genuinely the worst regularly playing striker we've had in decades, he is atrocious. He'd fit right in with some of 90's players.

There is absolutely nothing about him. Doesn't score goals - doesn't even get chances because his ancticipation is so bad, doesn't assist, doesn't hold the ball up, doesn't link play, doesn't win headers, doesn't even close down effectively. He doesn't even stand in position.

Austin isn't even much good but HRK drags the entire team down with him when he comes on as he offers so little. At least Austin actually stands in the position rather than HRK drifting over to the wing which is pointless as he has no dribbling ability.

Agreed, however why can’t Bilic and his coaching staff see it.

Zohore is very poor however I’d still start him before Kanu.
It is not the taking part, but the winning that counts.

Zohore is more limited. Kanu is stronger on the ball it might not seem it comparing physique but Kanu is a better player.

Since the restart robson Kanu is playing like robson Kanu ... that our ole patch has really been and gone
It's easy to have faith in yourself and have discipline when you're a winner, when you're number one. What you got to have is faith and discipline when you're not a winner.

And Zohore can’t get ahead of him.. we really are struggling.

I agree wholeheartedly with your post. There have been parts of the season where HRK has performed well but it’s a pretty low bar he’s set.

Our striking options are awful for a side second in the leaguel

On post lockdown performances the fact we are second with those three strikers is miraculous.  No threat, anticipation or suggestion of goalscoring instinct between them.

Some of the balls that were wiped across their goal mouth and none of our striker's had the instinct or desire to attack those balls was criminal. Kanu just isn't that good and that's a fact.

A lot of that isn't true , if it is it makes Bilic a woeful manager.
HRK outed Austin from that role , he's had some good performances and lead the line very well especially away from home. To say he's been  poor overall this season I can't agree with , I'd agree post lockdown his form has reverted back to pre Bilic times and he looks way off it .
Suspect he'll start on Friday.

Even if he had good anticipation, he's not built to get to those sort of crosses. He is too heavy, so starts slowly and turns slowly.  He is only good at holding the ball up if its played into him, but that's sadly not enough for a No.9.

The one that went across the goal wasn't really his fault. If you watch it he is involved in the middle, ball goes out wide and makes the run.  He would have to be odemewingie speed to get to it.

The only reason he outed Austin from that role is because Austin is physically not capable of playing full matches.

It says volumes that in his career best season he has 10 goals. His next best is 7. The guy has no business being a championship striker, yet alone for a team aiming for promotion. I literally don't think there's a side in the league who don't have at least one striker better than him.

He's not a striker. He's a bottom half Championship right midfielder. I've no idea why he's even still at the club.
