Whilst a number of the team have struggled in the opening PL matches, I thought Tomer has adapted reasonably well. I for one wanted CH to keep him and glad he is still with the Albion.
Got something to say or just want fewer pesky ads? Join us... 😊

if we had won at boro season before last. we would've probs have had much more confidence in him being good enough as our top scorer that got us promoted. personally yes I want an upgrade upfront like anybody else but lets not under estimate our players. He will do ok. How many other strikers in the prem have not scored a goal yet? Hemed has played against 2 champions of the last 3 seasons and a tough away game at Watford despite their 10 men.

Our only goal-scorer this season certainly should be on the bench against WBA, imho.

Not seen such Bravery!
I suspect he'll have a big point to prove, and this window will actually have a positive effect on him.

Spot on , the wingers need to get some decent crosses in.
Think Hemed is perceived as having failed from the Man City game, when he was never going to get a lot of chances and with no Knockaert (or Izquierdo at the time) the service was always going to be lacking somewhat. He might not bang you a hat-trick against Chelsea but I wouldn't bet against him heading a winner against West Brom or Newcastle, which will be the games when the points are needed.

Had we not signed him originally, yet signed a full Israeli international (Hemed) striker for £20 million last night... we'd all be creaming ourselves today. Scored goals in La Liga etc. Bloom would be the hero of the hour and Winstanley would have well and truly 'delivered.'
Now we back him.
I prefer him to Murray... they're both good, but I think Tomer can and will stop hitting the post and the bar so often and actually start being lucky!

Barnes and Vokes. Not good enough for us in the championship. Few rated Barnes. None rated Vokes. No tears shed when they left. Now what? What happened to those sorry inadequates?
I think we may be pleasantly surprised how well our boys step up this season. Tomer included.

He knows where the goal is. Great header of the ball and can score from the penalty spot. We should start to capitalise more on set plays etc. There are many different ways to score goals - not all about being very quick . Think we need to get goals from several different positions on the pitch.
Whilst we face a difficult challenge maybe this should be viewed as an opportunity?
Can't help thinking that had we signed the much wanted striker would we then have collapsed into despair the moment they got injured?

We were always going to sign a third goalkeeper, and it is nothing to do with Ryan being sh1te..... which he isn't.
You think Krul is going to be 2nd or 3rd choice Dave ? I give it less than a month before Ryan is dropped.

Yes, 3rd choice.

As I said, I hope he proves me and all his other detractors wrong. We need him to after all.
But you can't rate every footballer you see. And I'm sorry to say it, but Hemed is one of the few players in our squad that I personally don't rate that highly. Doesn't mean I won't support him 100% when he plays for us.

Ok the team shouln't feed him chances
You said he should be getting fed chances by the team, not making them himself. So, just to be clear, you think that he shouldn't be able to make opportunities on his own? In modern football? So you just want him to stand on the six yard box waiting for a perfect pass every game?

Always going to use up our 2nd loan option on a keeper on deadline day ?...Yeah ok whatever. I can assure you Ryan will not be 1st choice. He isn't up to it.Especially now when we are going to have to defend for our very lives in this league.
Fair enough.
Yes, we none of us (apart from [MENTION=30242]spence[/MENTION]) actually know how the season will pan out, and I remain optimistic and will do so till the end.
I am hoping we won't have to remind ourselves, in January, that we have been 12 points adrift of safety before, and yet survived on the last day of the season....Liverpool away might prove stiffer opposition than Hereford way, even if there is less at stake for the home side.....
ps I wish all our opponents could be a faffy and ineffectual as England were for the first 80 minutes yesterday

I only said we were always going to sign a third keeper, I didn't say anything about using up our loan options to do it.
And I would predict that Ryan will be our first choice goalkeeper throughout the season.

That's fare enough. It's all about opinions. I predict he won't play 2 more Prem games.
