One of the worst misses I have ever seen for us

[Rodley]

I found the Cannon signing baffling, but some of the abuse he gets is ridiculous. It wasn't even the worst miss today. I didn't catch all of the game, but thought he was actually quite decent today. Some people seem to go out of their way to jump on his back. I don't remember a thread on any of Campbells misses, for instance.

If he had any semblance of an all round game or contributed in other areas people would expect him to put it together. As it stands he looks a pretty disastrous signing. Generally the crowd have been patient with him, but let’s be frank there’s not a lot to be positive about.

Needs to be chalked down as a bad decision and any time he comes on in the playoffs I’ll be worried that we’ve just handed any attacking impetus to the opposition.

 

[FTPE]

He's genuinely growing on me. He makes good runs, isn't hiding, and shoots on sight. He'll come good I reckon.
It wasn't a terrible miss, he should have scored or at least hit the target, but it was nowhere near as bad as some fans (that are clearly out to get him) are saying.

 

[Tazzy]

Slated for his miss but harmer 2 yards out was miss of the season

 

[54yrblade]

Chris says he'll come good, so thats ok then.
He waited years before Rhian scored at S6 and did some good stuff
Cannon is here unless/ until Wilder moves on

I don't disagree that he has been a disappointing signing, but some of the comments are ridiculous. The chance today was a good one, but the ball was behind him with the keeper charging out towards him and two defenders on the line. Hamer smacked one miles over the bar from two yards out, whilst unmarked and the keeper out of position yet doesn't have a pile on thread.

Cannon will score the winning goal at Wembley.

YHIHF

He won’t

YHIH ? (Cos I haven’t read the posts following yours so I don’t know if someone else has said same )

 

[RecordBreakers]

He had service for the chance the OP says

Think u miss d the irony

 

[RecordBreakers]

Obviously tyrese to start and cannon is Obviously struggling to live uproar the price tag in front of fans who don't want him

Try and be a supporter

If people want u or not u still do your job your paid to do, do u not?

There was a shocker from BBD in a game. Sliding in, back post, put it wide from a yard. Another bad one at Loftus Road. Cannon crossed it low. He somehow put it wide. There was an absolute shocker from Campbell in a home game. The miss of the season: imo:

Cannon was signed in conjunction with the new owner's data analysis and scouting.

 

[54yrblade]

And CWs agreement

 

[3Cheers4Ramirez]

If he'd scored it Wilder would have probably started him v Bristol so we should be grateful he missed

It wasn't only that miss, it's the rest of his game too. It's embarrassingly bad. And physically he looks like he's never broke sweat to try and improve himself

He should be nowhere near the squad for the play offs. Just look at it:

Moore
Oné
Brewster
JRS
Brooks

They're the attacking likely non starters, and all are clearly better sub options than Cannon

Then there's:

Davies (GK)
Holding/Robinson
McCallum
Gilchrist
T.Davies

Who are all important

And one of these 10 still need to miss out. There's no merit based case for him to make the squad

 

[BornOnShorehamStreet]

Nah, most of the world's top strikers would miss that.

Ronaldo missed one from 4 yards at t'Lane end

 

[nopigfansintown]

And CWs agreement

They don't need his agreement. It's the other way around. He definitely wanted him on loan in January though.

 

[mattbianco1]

There was another example with Cannon in this game in the second half.. He peeled off near post and got a yard. The ball was played to him but behind him. He had to check and shoot from an awkward spot when his superb movement should've been rewarded with a great chance to score.

True.
The miss aside, I thought he played ok today. His movement is great and he also drags a CB out of position to let our other players exploit the space.

He had a couple of other half chances but the balls into him weren't great

He's a trier but done little to justify the fee yet. Worrying considering the enormity of what's coming up and potentially next season

 

[Blademan89]

Take a bow Tom Cannon

Hope he is nowhere near the squad for the play-offs.

With that said nice to see him applauded off by our fans, very sporting.

Didn't play too badly today, but that kiss was pretty bad, that's a player low on confidence.

 

[ISZA ⚔️]

Absolute wanker of a poster

 

[Snowflake]

It was served up to him on a plate. In front of him lots of time and at perfect height.

It was behind him ! He did well to control it, but should then have scored.

 

[secretchief]

I don't see how we signed him on data when his numbers are bang average

 

[The Bear]

Bet you wouldn’t have missed it in Concord Park, eh superstriker? Got to love these perfect fans…..

You gotta remember it is Cannon's job. If you were as shit underperforming in yours during your probation I don't think you'd be kept on (pre April 25 employment changes)

Should play in the reserves till either he starts scoring or a decision is made (don't hold your breath) to get rid/loan out.

 

[Upton_Blade]

Wasn't even the worst miss today.

Put your Manpon back in you absolute fanny .

 

[The Bear]

Peck will, if its anyone

Yes I think if we get there Peck will score at Wembley. The most deserving player to as well.

Hamer's was quite difficult if you can watch it on tv.

 

[originaltrueblade]

Peck will, if its anyone

Peck was unlucky today

 

[247Blade]

Give the lad a chance FFS.. getting on his back when he's not had any service all season

How many? Loan him out ASAP!

 

[b1ade4life]

Just seen the miss on the highlights, give the lad a break FFS

 

[bakeblade]

They must have been hacked then

 

[Need4speed]

Play him with Moore and it would be totally different
