    I do like Winnall but he frustrates the hell out of me at times.

    The habit he's got of needlessly tripping defenders up / pushing them over when he's chasing them down drives me mad especially as the defender would otherwise have to probably concede a throw in or play an uncomfortable ball back to the keeper.

    And the loves a dive. And then berates the referee when he doesn't fall for it.

    He's been asked to play a role that completely nullifies most of his strengths. Completely down to LJ or do the board tell Winnall how to play aswell?

    while it's hunting season, i'm afraid the manager will cop the flak whatever. if it's a $hit player being $hit, it's the manager's fault for signing/playing a $hit player. if it's a good player who's turned $hit, it's the manager's fault for turning him into a $hit player. if we have a good player, he's too good for us, it has nothing to do with the manager and will he will leave us for a better manager, cos we have a $hit manager. or he'll eventually turn $hit, then it will be the $hit manager's fault.

    He's not quite as good as he was during that purple patch he had prior to his injury last season. I thought we'd found a reight striker at that point. But aye, he's not looked as good this season. But he's still been far and away our best striker and one of our most consistent players in what is now the squad I will forever label "the worst I've seen in my lifetime". Which is some ******* achievement. So of course, that said, obviously I don't see Winnall as one of our greatest ever strikers. But also, with all that said, I'm not going to jump on the latest bandwagon criticising him.

    In this thread I've read "he doesn't offer anything". Yet, he assisted Hourihane for the equalizer against Sheff Utd, with a superb headed knock down. He assisted Hammill brilliantly last week by holding the ball up, turning his man before feeding Adam. So whilst he isn't scoring, he does still offer other things. Not to forget he was cleaned out by the keeper otherwise would have scored last weekend.

    7 goals in 29 appearances isn't great to be honest. Considering 5 came after 11 games. He's definitely suffered during this record breaking run of ***** form. But he's also played in numerous positions, had huggins of different teammates and systems to deal with. It can't be simple to thrive amidst all that. For any of them let alone Sam.

    I think Sam's had an average season so far. I'd give him 6/10. So I understand some of the criticism. But not the majority which is OTT. But hey, I'm glad the forum is tearing into Hammill, Winnall and Hourihane. And ignoring the actual **** players. Bang on that.

    Agree Whitey.Winnall not at the level he was before last season's injury but still far and away our best striker.That our problem.we have a number of players playing every week who just aren't up to 3rd tier football.until we can replace them with better players nothing will change.central defenders,centre mid and centre forward desperately needed sharpish.Winnall with a proper centre forward,Hourihane with an experienced partner and Hamill and Williams wide we'd be fine.without those additions we will go down.

    Played him out of position. Played him on his own. Publicly criticised him. Dropped him at every opportunity. Knocked the stuffing out of him.

    Well done Lee

    Indeed. The first week LJ decided to play two up front, he dropped him completely from the team.
