He didn't have his best game but there's something about him I really like. He just seems to be such a problem for CB's. 

Yep agree. It wasn't his best BUT you could see the effort and willingness. And before the goal, to take advantage of thier slow pass was excellent. 

Other teams have done it to Saints numerous times over the years, so nice to see the opposite!

The goal was cracking too.

Works hard as well

Loved that moment in the 1st half when he chased down a lost cause towards the touchline and won us a free kick in a dangerous attacking position. 

Impressive goal, when he gets going he has got some pace. Just a constant nuisance for defenders, hope we can keep hold of him

His finish last night was reminiscent of Shlong's in the semi final at Anfield. Great goal.

[Give it to Ron]

I have to admit that his goal surprised me in his pace and finish didn’t realise he had that ability.

Loved that goal.

Really couldn't understand the stick he was getting in the match thread, in my eyes he did everything he was bought into the side to do, hold up the ball allow us to break through the lines. Can't blame him for being manhandled with no consequences and the goal was a peach. Also the header was delightful shame we decided to play crossbar challenge but hey ho, onwards!

He was really unlucky with the header that hit the bar. If that is a couple of inches lower it's up there with some of the great Ron Davies headed goals.

He's very intelligent with his headers. So often you see players get a great header chance and they just hit it straight at the keeper. But that one last night that hit the bar, and his late equaliser at WBA recently, show he puts a lot of thought and skill into them.

I've never been able to figure out if he's fast or not, but last night showed me that he's like a train: Takes a while to get going, but once he's at full tilt there's not much nearby that will be faster.

I was shocked, i expected him to get caught and try and get fouled but his pace and finish was class. As others have said his header was good and his turn and volley drew a good save. 5 goals so far plus his all round play have been good. Can be frustrating at times but been a very good find, a lot of us were critical when he signed but he's proved us wrong.
