CMS and Baldock offer no real threat. Time to discover a new target man. As for CMS in particular, the poster who described him as resembling a dog chasing a balloon a while back....spot on

So what is the answer then? Chris has to get two strikers in - one big lump to hold the ball up and a sniffer to run of him to score the goals? If / when Harry leaves QPR do we go for Bobby and have CMS / Baldock running off him? From what I have seen (not much I agree) I would discard COG and play Colunga ahead of JFC.

A couple of seasons ago he held his hand up and said he needed to make better runs. I watched him carefully at Charlton and he still doesn't make the runs you need from a forward. Its almost as if he is afraid to get in the box. Runs around and works hard, but has poor ball control and just doesn't seem to know what peeling off a marker to find space in the box is. I also wonder, if he hasn't worked it out, what these highly paid coaches are doing. Surely someone should show him his performances on a video, then get him on the training pitch and t least try and get the message through. Perhaps they do but if not then it doesnt say much for the coaches either.

To be honest whilst both don't offer a threat Baldock makes CMS look like Messi. Can't go past anyone, doesn't make runs, doesn't tackle and generally looks poor. Time to get rid of both him and Macca and replace with some championship quality not League 1 standard players like these two. Having said that I also thought CMS had a better game today. Maybe it was Baldrick making him look good. Colunga did more in 20 minutes than he did in 70. Thought the spirit of the side was better today and if it wasn't for one of the worst referees I have seen at the Amex we might have got something out of the game.

Terrible first touch and simply not clinical enough when he does get chances.

Missed a gilt edged chance and wasted another good opportunity, simply not good enough

Really worrying upfront now, completely devoid of any creativity and totally toothless - if we cant strengthen our forward line we could be heading to Lge1
Worst 2.5 million we have spent ,shame.

I thought this debate had closed down a while back. It feels like the last couple of months of the Hyypia saga, where people hang on to some romantic view of what could happen in the face of the facts. I would have loved him to have done well, seems like a nice guy. But it didn't so we say thanks and bye. He has been paid very very well.

I think we would all love to see CMS do well but lets face facts, he is a League One striker at best, no pace to blast past defenders or any ability to hold the ball up or height to get a header on the ball....basically NOT a striker then.

Beggars belief that this time last year we had Ulloa and Barnes up front. Proper strikers in the normal sense of the word. Barnes would have had two goals minimum today, just by being in the instinctively correct position for a striker. You can't teach that. Well certainly not to CMS. That pitifully hopeful through ball to him can be played all day long but a Championship-level defender is never going to make the blunder that would allow CMS to pounce in League One. Lovely bloke blah blah but PLEASE get rid. Its painful to watch.
Barnes, proper striker? Ha ha, he was just like our current crop of numpties, needs 50 chances to score 1 goal. And he also had a problem with petulance for good measure.
The best striker apart from leo we have had in recent years now plays for palace, sad isn't it?

Ha.
The chance conversion rate you've suggested is simply ludicrous and as for disciplinary issues, after that red card for tripping the ref Barnes was incredibly professional, only picking up the odd yellow here and there.
Yes sorry, 1 in a hundred is more realistic
Are you Mr Burns' second account by any chance?
