Zanzala
 

Whats everyones thoughts are on Zanzala? I've seen a few messages on here when things havent been going very well that we should be giving him more time, but whenever Ive seen him I always thought he wasn't really quick or strong enough in his play and isnt exactly a massive goal threat. He did ok in one or two games earlier on this season but never made a huge impact for me - for me hes our 4th choice striker, but that doesnt always seem to be the popular opinion. Just wondering what people think, and if they see something I dont?

Re: Zanzala
 

he,s one i cannot make my mind up about. one minuit he looks to have something different the rest do not have and a minuit later he,s just a comedy interlude. will he become a good player with us. i doubt anyone really knows.

Re: Zanzala
 

Can see him being loaned out next season if only for some kind of improvement sadly can't see it definitely not league1 standard.

Re: Zanzala
 

He does try, but for me mainly fails badly.

Re: Zanzala
 

do you mean fail or falls badly cashy.

Re: Zanzala
 

The lad does try but falls short maybe if he can get his legs and brain working together he will improve

Re: Zanzala
 

think his legs and brain all working at different times his is main asset as defenders like us have no clue what he is going to do next.

Re: Zanzala
 

Not good enough.
No point masking it up as anything else.
Wish we had Malik Wilks.

Re: Zanzala
 

yes this seasons malik wilks but not last seasons. mind you it does help if you get a regular start and not a 85th minute substitute.

Re: Zanzala
 

Could this be the key to Zanzalas improvement

Re: Zanzala
 

Staying upright may help also.

Re: Zanzala
 

He'll be an absolute beast for someone later in his career. But first he needs to learn how to use his strength wisely. Effort and enthusiasm in abundance but his inability to stay upright AND hold off the defender has cost him and us.

He had a good run in the side, and could do with another, but this stage of an arse clenching run in isnt the time. He's still young and hopefully isnt the sort to demand he goes elsewhere - prseason and a run of games this autumn could sort him out.

Re: Zanzala
 

you mean going to another club to achieve it.

Re: Zanzala
 

A centre forward who can’t stay upright and hold off defenders ? ........... Not much else to say is there ? I watched him under 18s and he bullied defenders scored regularly. He then lost a full season with a bad knee injury and has never rediscovered his old form.
Maybe the injury has done for him.

Re: Zanzala
 

Here we are, 3 points off relegation, 10 games left to play, and individual players are still being slagged off and criticised by some of us armchair fans.
Give the lads a break.
Zanzala is currently the third highest goal scorer after Kee and McMarmite and, whilst i’m sure even he will admit he’s no Lukaku, he is a young lad learning his trade and doing his best.
Same with Johnson, Donacien and Maxted, and whoever else happens to be your particular least favourite.
We’re not going to get out of this fight by buying/loaning alternative players so, other than undermining confidence, what is being achieved by this?
