He seems a good striker, 3 goals in four games is good rate, hope that continues.

Strike rate is good, reflecting that he appears to be quality in the box, but I don't think he works hard enough to make himself an outlet when we're trying to play out.  Even when we were going 3-0 up they were dominating possession because we were turning it over so often.

I would agree with that, except maybe he is not familiar enough with the team as yet to do certain things instinctively depending on who the ball is with.   However, if this persists, then I would argue that we are just a shop window for his real A-League career in the following seasons.

All sensible points, but what do they have to do with me talking about crowd numbers?

Your topic was too factual, so we felt uncomfortable. As a result it was quickly shifted sideways to something more speculative, with no basis in any facts, to relax us nicely.
