Think he's a player who will benefit from playing week in week out as such a lump. Desperately needs help but credit due to the lad who I had down as non league at best.

I agree.
Still very raw and has a lot to learn. Needs to get his head up and be more aware of players around him.
But he's becoming a real handful for defenders and is getting much better with his hold up play. As you say, for a tall lad his heading is poor and he's no real threat from set pieces but he's working hard to improve and when you consider where he was when Warnock arrived he deserves plenty of credit for the way he's made himself our main striker.

Imagine he could head the ball!! What I like is he looks like he's lost control then somehow sticks his arse in and elbow then he's got it again. A bonus player, like a new player but needs help. I like the lad who went to shef weds from Barnsley scored two against us.

Could he be another Gestede?

We should remember he is still only 22 and, like Rudy Gestede, he will get better with more experience. For me at 22 years of age he is a better player than Rudy and we should remember Gestede was 25 when he had the 20 goal season with Blackburn.
Is Zohore the answer to our striker problems at the moment, NO, but for me he is the best CF we have at the club at this moment in time. Certainly he is better than Lambert who has gone well past his sell by date. I hope NW gets the opportunity to sign the forward we desperately need, even if it's a loan, but not to replace Zohore but play alongside him.
Going back to Rudy he set an all time Premier League record yesterday when he had played for Middlesbrough at Watford. 31 games without being on the winning side. Ouch.

I would like to see Healy have a game. Scored 7 at Newport who are bottom of their league.
