Thoughts? Lack of service or struggling to cope at this level?
Bobby holds the ball up better but is less likely to take a chance on the rare occasion we create one (we're 5 games in and yet to score from open play). |  |

I think he'll score a decent amount if it's put on a plate for him. The problem is we're nowhere near doing that.
When he's trying to create something or beat a man imo he's still in a Championship mind set if that makes sense.
What I mean is he needs to show just a wee bit more trickery in nicking it past defenders because at this level they're reading most of what he's trying to do and getting the tackles in. |  | | |

Lack of service is the main thing for me.
Our team is not very well worked and prepared. Strikers and defenders will be exposed the most due to this. |  | | |

Charlie always tries hard but I'm afraid he just isn't good enough at this level.
Pains me to say it. |  |

good enough or not good enough at this level is academic, we ain't got anybody else. |  | | |

lack of service
lack of support
lack of own ability
no pace , and only decent control and heading
STILL BEST WE GOT MIND
truth is we are so short up front if austins goes missing we are mega screwed as the boy from chile looks about as much use as an empty toilet roll and Zamora is a 20 minute man |  |

How can you make such a statement so early into his Premier League career?
He won us the only match we won.
Without his goal, we would have a total of 2 points in 5 matches.
Yes, he missed a penalty. The list of world class players who have missed penalties is immense.
How many sitters has he missed?
How many half-chances?
How many times has he been given proper service? | | | |

Think he is finding it difficult with the step up, but it will come. |  | | |

I don't think he's adjusted to the fact that you haven't got that extra split second that you have in the Championship.
If he can get a couple of those thunderbolt goals under his belt I think he'll be fine. |  |

I'm pretty convinced that he will never get an England call up.. unless he improves his game a lot. Thats not to say he is no good.. I think with the right service he will score goals (as he has already done) and he can improve with a bit more prem experience.. |  | | |

Lack of service. We could have Costa and Suarez in this team and they wouldn't score. |  |

I read the other day that the highest paid player at Ajax is on £10k a week. It makes me wonder what wages Sighorrtson was asking for that we found so unacceptable? Because at the moment the lack of options is looking desperately worrying (not that i'm saying he was the answer). I like Charlie, but we're not good enough as a team to provide the service he requires. At this level he's not going to make many chances for himself, he hasn't the skills. |  |

He's pretty isolated and pulled out of position all the time. Has to be players off him and actually feeding him some balls to get on the end of. |  |

With the service hes getting, he may as well just stand on the penalty spot all game. |  | | |

Looks to me like he's carrying an injury. Just enough of one to stop him playing at 10/10ths. |  | | |

People writing Charlie off at this stage are fans who have become a product of the way the club has been operating for some time. Doesn't look quite good enough in a couple of games? Better buy a replacement, we can't be waiting around for a few games for him to adapt his game, can we?
He scored about 50 goals in 2 championship season, more possibly. He's a great finisher, can score from long range or short range and is great with his head in front of goal. The quality of crosses for him today was nothing short of diabolical.
To me, today, he was slightly lacking in belief, snatching at chances, concerned about spending too much time on the ball. But he'll adapt. When BZ first took the step up to this level from Brighton it took him time to adapt - same for almost any striker. I just hope we have the coaches to get the best out of him... |  |

I agree. People forget it took him about 11 games to settle in here last season and this is a whole new level. He worked hard today and I think he will learn to get the ball out of his feet quicker as we go along. | |

Totally agree. Fans writing him off after a few games is just utter ridiculous. Has had no service whatsoever. Some fans are a product of the modern age. No patience.Have a bad game and oh he is rubbish he must be dropped or we need someone new.He needs service and support for god sake! |  | | |

Bit of a rabid post. I don't see any criticism of Charlie or writing him off. Instead it's concern that the team isn't good enough to create the chances for him. Your key point is in the final sentence. | |

Hysterical reaction.
Nobody's saying get rid. Just asking the question whether the reason he seems to be struggling is due to a lack of service or limitations in his own game. | |

I really respect the effort he gives but I don't think he is good enough for this level. | | | |

Not a hysterical reaction at all. I've seen a few posts saying he is not good enough. Plus it was a general point regarding players. There has been many a player who has had a debut or who has had a bad game and the instant judgement is he is not good enough.I remember several years ago derry was coming back from injury and first few games back he was struggling and fans were saying he was past it. Proved everyone wrong. | | | |

I don't expect him to get near double figures this season. I've said it before.
I really hope I'm wrong. |  |

Rabid? There are two posts on here saying he's not good enough for this level. That's apart from ones slagging him off last week for not taking on the whole Man U defence on his own.
I don't disagree with you or the OP - you're not who I'm aiming it at. But several posters have written him off already, I'm afraid. | |
