He did seem quite lethargic at Huddersfield, seeming reluctant to beat his man. I think this was a positive though as he passed to team mates rather than losing the ball.

Only make 7 to 10 away games per season so maybe it was a one off? He did play very well on TV v Forest though.

If he continues his goals to game ratio for the rest of the season I'll be very happy!

Whatever the club did to him over the Summer, its transformed him. The REAL difference now is that he's not just being given a twenty minute 'impact sub' role, he's suddenly fresh enough to play whole games and be a real nuisance to the opposition for the full ninety minutes. The goals are a bonus.

That's a key point.
There was a reason why he was an 'impact sub', he just couldn't do it over 90 minutes.

Whatever has changed in him, long may it continue.

He had knee problems last season, so hopefully our medical team has now sorted that out.

He's been brilliant so far this season, and was great to see the rest of the players encourage and calm him down after he got booked/clattered in quick succession.

He looks like the player we always knew he could be - if you know what I mean.

Poor as always. He will bag a couple like that in a season but wont be long until he's off sulking over a Nandos as though it's everyone else's fault but his own dim wits.

He would be so much better if he didn't insist on coming to a full stop before trying to beat a defender. A new trick wouldn't go a miss either.

That challenge on him in injury time was disgraceful. Worthy of a red card.
Playing with a lot of confidence at the moment...must be the new shirt number?!

Kaz made the tackle look far worse than it was. He did his usual trick of pushing the ball forward and finding a leg to clatter into. In this case the leg was quite high, but the momentum of the contact came more from Kaz than from the defender.

He has been very good so far this season, not only looking dangerous going forward, but tackling back and challenging for headers as well. You'd like to think that this is something to do with the coaching, but in his interview after the Forest game, Hughton seemed to admit that he has little idea whether anything they tell him ever has any effect.

Still in the 'Just on a run' camp at the moment, but will be happy to switch sides if he carries on like this (assuming he can keep his place in the team when the new winger comes in, of course!)

I felt he was our most dangerous player all match. He has an understanding developing with Bong. I'm really looking forward to seeing him link up with Bobby.

In my view Kaz is now showing what he can do, because for the first time someone has helped his confidence by selecting him to play, rather than sticking him on the bench as an 'impact player'. Good on Chris for recognising the ability he has, and bringing that out in him.
