Wycombe Royal FiNeRaIn No striker deliberately misses chances or doesn't make an effort when the balls in the box, its not an effort issue, he is just crap. Plain and simple. He was crap all last season, been crap 3 games out of 3 this season, sell him IMO.
No it is an effort issue. He no longer seems to look for space, he has lost his zip, lacks creativity - he did have all these attributes. He is certainly not crap.
I don;t think it is one thing, but a combination of many things
1 - He has eyes only for the Premiership and is not motivated at Chapmionship level anymore
2 - He is no longer the surprise package and everyone is aware of him as one of the highest profile strikers in the Championhip
3 - He has been found out and the opposition know how to play him
4 - He is not getting anywhere near good enough service from out midfield
5 - With only 2 goals in the last 8 months, he is seriously lacking in confidence.
6 - He knows he will not be droped from the starting line up however badly he plays and dare I say it, might be a little complacent.
That supposed £7million from VIlla is looking more attractive with every game....not that we will replace him.
