Won’t judge him till he’s had a start

I reckon kelechi starts and cannon gets a cameo again. I think Enzo will keep him on a leash.. need to keep him fit and ready for January and not run the risk of him picking up an injury whilst the others are away

 

Vs Plymouth he had good movement and looked sharp. Had casadei used his brain he'd have had 3 chances.

 

Vs Millwall, one sniff on goal  deflected to riccy and goallllll

 

Tonight, 1 snatched half chance other than that not alot of feeding to him. Had kdh on the wing so already took a bit of the creativity out the way.

 

I think he'll come good but I won't be surprised to see him just get 20 to 30mins a game until the afcon not worth the risk

Looks like he'd struggle to win a footrace with Vesty imo, but maybe that's just through lack of minutes after the injury.

Yeah he’s not  rapid but thought looked quicker tonight compared to last couple of appearances. 

[iancognito]

Four months out, no pre-season and still getting used to the style, his team mates and his role.

 

I know this goes against the Leicester fan habit but he needs time and patience because we'll need him in January.

[Devonfox1884]

He’s very Nugent isn’t he, which is by no means a bad thing. Needs a start, Rotherham could be a good opportunity.

Yeh not seen that much pace from him as of yet which seems strange when he said in his interview last week that he models his game on Vardy in his prime. In his absolute prime the GOAT was as rapid as a whippet and it was a key part of his game alongside world class finishing. 

[James_lcfc]

Still like the look of him, but he’s in desperate need of a little run of starts now - Like Daka has just had.

Are you joking? Looked very lively when he came on

He's busy all right. But he doesn't look very fast to me. But like I said, he's still working his way back from the injury.

[BenTheFox]

Just me that's has been quite encouraged by his cameos then?

Nope, looks quite positive from what little we have seen

Watch his goals for Preston last year. He might not be quite as quick as Vardy or Daka, but he's definitely no slouch:

If his cameo is for the statue department then perhaps so. 
 

Im not convinced he’s even a footballer, he looks terrified when he comes on, a bit like then you were at school and they took you on the dry ski slope trip, and on the forms where it asks if you’ve done it before, you tick expert, and then get to the top of the slope and realise what terrible mistake you’ve just made. 
 

Perhaps he is still injured? I don’t know but he’s not shown anything at the moment to convince me he’s an improvement to what we already have……

How has he not been flagged offside for that second goal at QPR? 

 

Lovely finish against Blackpool.

NO WAY.

HE'S HAD HIS CHANCE.

BURN THE WITCH!

Ridiculous 

 

He's had ~20 minute cameo's in games that have been largely dead attacking wise.

 

...Having been out since what? May?

There are some very tidy finishes amongst them. So he's not just a striker barging through the championship. Evidently got some skills.

For the same reason that KDH was wrongly flagged offside early in the second half when he was about to score. No VAR means being exposed to the slings and arrows of real-time human judgment.

This is the worst post I've seem for some time and not only that, you capitalise it just to emphasise the stupidity.  Nice one!

Seriously?   We buy a player with a broken back and its a good signing?

Nice video, thanks for posting. No chips and can knock in a cut back. I would say he probably needs to work on his back muscles as his chest muscles seem to be sticking out a lot, but that might be a moot point now. I did notice that in his appearances for Leicester, but thought it was just pride in the shirt. Anyway, time he was in the starting line up.

I know this may be a little radical but I’m contemplating basing my judgment on the decision to sign him on the contribution he makes throughout his time with us as opposed to whether he is or isn’t in the starting eleven v Rotherham

Great contribution thus far.

Enzo said the club knew he had an injury but he's been signed as a long term investment as he's young and has a lot of potential. Fortunately we haven't needed him as we've has Iheancho and Vardy and more recently Daka but that will change after Rotherham when we lose Daka and Iheanacho for a month. Nobody really knows whether Cannon will be a good signing or not but no point slating the club or the player until we've actually seen what he can do. Worst case scenario long term if he isn't good enough is we sell him and we won't lose a great deal as we didn't pay that much for him. Of course we could have waited until he got over his injury before we signed him but then many other teams may have wanted him and/or Everton may have upped his asking price.
