I think he is going to be one of our key players this season. I thought he scared the living daylights out of Cardiff's defence with his pace and so far we have used him perfectly, especially at counter attacking.
he's more than just a quick player. he had good control and can tackle. major asset if he stays fit. him and Fuller would scare any championship defence.
I know he scores but perhaps needs to work on his finishing a bit, missed quite a few chances today though. Great performance mind, need to keep him fit. Not sure what to do once fuller can start as Hulse was excellent too
Its nice for people to feel its gonna be a tough call who is going to be up front when all are fit rather than it being the same pairing week in week out and worrying about certain players will be back. Nice decision to be able to make for Chris. All are different kinds of strikers so really great to have options. And if they can stay confident who knows. Being a striker is a confidence game. Having good strikers around you should spur you on to do better in games when given an opportunity.
Haynes is so quick and would be great if he could stay fit. With a run could be a really good player this year. Hulse is only til new year although i'd like to keep him for the rest of the season if possible. Useful addition, strong and scoring. BWP is a goal scorer, but he needs to get some confidence back. You can't drop others for him if they are doing well but you know there are goals in him with the right partner. Kermorgant is one of the most committed strikers i have seen at the club in years. Skillful, strong and can score. Fuller although tries to do things on his own too much for my liking, but he does it because he can. Strong, quick for a big fella and scores all kinds of goals.
What a nice group of strikers to have in your squad.

The good thing is he got one. The more he plays the better his finishing will get so I reckon the misses will become fewer the longer he stays fit
Read OA's post and thought of Kandol....remembr thinking he was ok when he played for us and looked at Wiki to find out where he was now.....
In October 2012 Kandol signed for Isthmian League Premier Division side Hampton and Richmond.
Oh dear!
Peter Reid tells a cracking story of trying to sign Kandol for Plymouth, he paid for Kandol's London-Plymouth train ticket, spoke to him on his mobile and Kandol told him he was on the train and would be arriving in one hour.....but never turned up at the station and never heard from him again!
Apparently Plymouth had a one-year deal ready for him to sign and he just disappeared and nobody could contact him.

You could say he got snuffed out then............candle.............I'll get my hot water bottle........... it's been a long day to Bristol and back.
It'll be a nice problem, deciding which of our in form strikers to leave out. In practice, having both Haynes and Fuller fit together at the same time might be a rare occurrence...
We haven't had such pace in the forward line since super kev. There's nothing like pace to worry defenders and create openings. It's no coincidence that we have scored seven goals in the last two games with Haynes in the side.
Compare our current crop of strikers with the pathetic bunch we got relegated with back in 2009?
What did we have then? Tresor Kandol on loan and Deon Burton on a free transfer.
The next year in League One we had Deon Burton and then after Christmas Akpo Sodje, David Mooney and Nicky Forster.
We now have PL quality strikers in Hulse and Fuller and good-class CCC strikers in BWP, Yann and Haynes.
I was thinking this recently - my sister gave me her old xbox with fifa10. Playing with Charlton, it's amazing to think that we did as well as we did! Our strikers on the game are Burton, McLeod, Dickson and Tuna.

He's the man with the shirt.
Well done, Haynesy!
Think for once I could be right!
