    He was amazing today. He played with loads of passion, won every header and got no protection from the ref. A lot of his headers don't find anyone because there's no-one near him ready to receive them. Once Bradshaw was on he was ready to receive it straight away.

    Wasn’t criticizing him in any way. He does win a lot of headers, but was at least 4-5 occasions where having won the ball he gave it away needlessly.

    All I said was it was frustrating. I wasn’t alone in that fact - you could see it on his own face, he was getting frustrated with himself.

    I rate the lad and think he’s a great asset to the team, just found it frustrating that having won the ball he then couldn’t keep hold of it.

    Like I said tho, cracking ball in for bradders.

    Onwards and upwards.

    Agree with that. Kieffer Moore is just what Bradshaw needs as a partner up front. Toshack and Keegan.

    I thought he was frustrated there was nobody within 30 yards of him

    More frustrating was he won every header but there was no one near him to pick up the flick-ons.

    His hold up play was terrible , can’t disagree with his work rate though

    Completely agree. Can’t argue with his ability to challenge either. Just felt he gave it away a lot once he won the ball.

    Guess most others see it differently :)

    If he had been here all season we’d be comfortably mid table at least.

    Exactly what we were missing.

    I thought he was awesome today. I must know nothing about football.

    Let's face it - we had no forward threat until January this year.

    The rest of the team is not that bad.

    It's up front we've been sadly lacking.

    Comfortably mid-table might well be right. Anyone want Ugbo back?

    Appear to be repeating myself, no I’m not taking the piss.

    I didn’t say anything about his ability to challenge for the ball or that he was rubbish or anything of the sort.

    Just said it was frustrating that having won the ball he gave it away cheaply on a number of occiaisons. Watch the game back on IFollow - happened a good 3-4 times leading up to my post.

    No player is going to get it 100% right every time. If they did they wouldn’t laik for us. He wins us so many headers that no one takes a gamble on. Now I’m not Moore’s biggest fan of late but he was awesome today, makes it a torrid afternoon for defenders he plays against. Doesn’t get enough protection from refs at times.

    Ugbo. Shudder. 1 in 16 for us. 1 in 10 in League 1.

    Think he was probably biggest flop for me. Bought into the hype their fans were making that he was “better than Abraham”.

    If we go down he'll be off to a Championship club for £3,000000.

    Moore was literally head & shoulders above everyone today. Went to my local in Headingley to watch the Manchester derby & bizarrely got talking to 5 Utd fans, who had been to the match. They were cursing him.
