Roland, Wise, Hignett, Strachan himself...he's not been the same since he returned.
I remember Strachan saying something along the lines of how some player can be 75% fit and still contribute but some players need to be 95-100%, I think Waghorn, at best, falls into the latter category.
he’s been a dud unfortunately
I think it’s a bit early to say that. He was showing promise before he got injured , and although he wasn’t scoring he was an important part of our system and build up playMarquee signing hasn’t worked out.

Got to laugh how he's our marquee signing. Shows how we are overachieving.
Wouldn't be in the top 30 highest paid players in the Championship
Don’t really think that’s the criteria, he’s an established Championship striker with a 1 in 4 record and apparently is/was the highest paid player at the club
I find it bizarre that O’Hare - who has years of progress ahead of him, contributes all around the pitch, actually stays fit, and doesn’t even play as a striker - is routinely slated for missing one good chance a game.
Whereas our highest paid striker who’s barely played all season comes on and misses a string of great chances, and suddenly we need to just give him (even) more time?
I like him as a player, he’s not a striker though, more of an AM/forward. He organised the press really well and has great touch and intelligence. We’ve got two 20 goal forwards, not everyone has to be.
Missed some fucking sitters yesterday though.

O'Hare misses chance after chance every week, this is essentially Waghorn's 'first offence'.
The problem is we miss chances all over the pitch and if Waghorn carries on like he did yesterday it won't be long before people start getting frustrated with him too.
To be honest I don't care so much about putting a shift in, just put the ball in the bloody net.
Waghorn missed a sitter against QPR after O Hare perfectly set him up
It’s feel more like a reluctance to shoot at times rather than being awful.It isn't really a competition between who has missed the most chances. O'Hare is the biggest blunt instrument in our attack in that sense.
Sure, Waghorn might catch him up if he carries on like yesterday, but there isn't even a comparison at this point.
End point still stands. We are awful in front of goal.

Ignoring Waghorn miss against QPR then
In terms of contribution this season it’s laughable to even put Waghorn in the same conversation as O’Hare.
You are both missing the point.
Waghorn will get as much stick as O'Hare and probably more, if he misses chances like that every week. O'Hare is getting stick because he has missed these chances most games over and over again.
