He showed enough last year to warrant another go round in the role this season. Although his place certainly shouldn't feel buckled in. Like you said he needs to lift his output and consistency a good amount. We desperately need a quality crumbing forward to break through, and that's even if Motlop is stationed permanently forward. Our firepower when the ball hits the deck has been in decline over the past few years.Special talent is way over the top.
You can definitely see he has some X factor about him but overall his output isn't very good.
Would of went goalless in six or seven games last year and some very low disposal counts.
His best game was against the Saints but even then he also made some errors.
His job is to hit the scoreboard and make some goals out of nothing and his not doing it near enough.
There's a definite chance of improvement but yeah being called a special talent now is too much.
