I have heared that Le Fondre is apparently going to Sheffield UTD along with Brayford?

Any news on this or is it just rumours?

If it's true you watch him score for fun.

Le Fondre is shot for confidence, he should have been taken out of teh team for his own benifit.

Problem is also that we offer no kind of service to our front men, the midfield is so overrun and we cant keep hold of the ball.

That's the issue. It's not that our Strikers are poor, lazy or can't score, they're not given the opportunities because we have no midfield.

Give all bar 4 or 5 strikers in the world the ball in the center circle, with 4 defenders and a holding midfielder in front of them and see how well they do against them.

Le Fondre has barely had the ball in the box this season, so much so he can't remember what he needs to do with it anymore, so it's hardly unsurprising he hasn't found the next as much as he should have.

We will never get anywhere with Whittingham as CM in a 4 man midfield.

Gunnar and Adeyemi with 2 wingers, maybe a chance but Whitts just isn't dynamic enough to pull it off.

I think we can all agree that the midfield is where we need the work.

I have no doubts that if we had a midfield formation which didn't get overrun constantly, Le Fondre would have had a couple of goals on Saturday. Never stopped working

Get shot of le fondre and get shot of whittingham if we playing 442 cos he aint got the energy to go box to box too much of a luxury. We need a new jordan mutch in that midfield

Early in the season I would have agreed but lately Le Fondre has missed some absolute sitters and therefore we can't solely blame the midfield.

Without doubt he is working hard and cannot be faulted for effort.

However, he had a massive chance on Saturday after our best move of the game. He was played in 10 yards out and his effort was weak, no conviction and didn't even test the keeper. At other times he looked as if he wanted to do anything but have a shot at goal.

It may well be that his confidence is shot but he was signed to score goals and, quite frankly, he isn't doing that nor does he look like doing that.When he got that tap in away at Watford I thought he would go on a run but, arguably, he's missed more chances since that goal.

Without a goal scorer we have zero chance of finishing anywhere near the play-offs so, in my opinion, his days are numbered.

Going off his cameo in the second half I think Revell & Le Fondre could be great together.

Does he need a lift up to Sheffield? Shocking player.

He is hiding in effort...... No a bad trait, but he is paid to score goals goals.

442 Vs 451 means you should surrender the pocession stat in favour of goal attempts.... We had far more attempts on goal than Fulham (19 vrs 7), we just scored from a backward flick on.

He's lost it. He's the Championship equivalent of Torres.

League 1 is about Le Fondre's standard now.
