Gotta say that although Petric was a last minute panic buy, the man did chalk up 5 goals in 10 games for Fulham so over the season at that rate its a return of over 15 goals which compared to what we already have and what strikers there are at other teams is pretty good going as long as he can stay fit

5 in 10 starts. he actually got a run out in 24 games in total

But yes, a good enough stand in for the time being

COYI

Can he play the lone striker role???

Sources say he was reported unhappy adapting to a 4-2-3-1 when he was at Hamburg a few seasons ago.

He will have to get used to being on his own but with the aid of the two wings up front - maybe vaz/ravel and then Jarvis the other side

Who cares how many he scores or if he can play alone up top the main point is Maiga will no longer play!

Is downing injured then because all I have herd is speculation regarding him the only two confirmed by the club are cole and Carrol. do you hear anything regarding injuries Ed? {Ed001's Note - Downing is injured too, according to the club, they have just not given a return date for him yet. They have yet to even confirm the seriousness or otherwise of his injury.}

Well I care because if bfs ain't going to change his team and he can't play alone upfront he maybe no better than maiga

Mate your be one of the first so called supporters on his back if he don't score from the start
