Signing Defoe has relegated us....

He hasn't been brilliant but scored when we beat Burnley and the Mags and when we drew at Swansea (I think).
Would we still be at least in with a fighting chance without him?
 
Your playing with 10 men....unless he's scoring he ain't contributing.....trying to accommodate him will probably result in relegation...we were not going down when we played ten men behind the ball. ...the points v Newcastle were welcome but over 4 months he's not done enough sorry....its arguably not his fault, the team behind him not being good enough....buts its accommodating him which had lost us the points imho
 
I said today he's been no better or worse than in his whole career, just before he was a focal point in teams that got the ball to him in the box and facing the goal, he's missed more chances than in the past mind, but he comes alive in the box so we play him virtually as a wing back for half of the game today, it's not really utilizing him correctly is it?
 
He's a goalscorer and you play them up front and off a target man. You don't shift them wide left to accommodate Danny Graham.
 
I give you that mate but given proper service he would get a f***ing hat full. Would you prefer Antiscore?
I would've preferred we signed someone who created chances rather than someone who needs chances. All of our strikers have shown they can score when given chances. Defoe has shown he needs a fair few chances. We'd have been better off with a Sessegnon type.

Not entirely true. Keeps opposition defenders in their own half by just being there.

Not his fault our lot daren't pass the halfway line

Fletcher cannat score hes got the legs of a newly born hoss :)
 
Responsible for a point at Swansea and 2 points vs the Mags (Mags were never scoring).

He's had a handful of big misses though. Overall it evens out but he hasn't been a savior.
 
He was absolutely woeful today yet still should have scored. I think he will get a couple of important goals before the season finishes.
 
So hes scored in the win over burnley

he got us a point down at swansea

then got us 3 points at home to the mags

Without him we could have been as bad as burnley and qpr
