The difference when Davis came on was freighting. Agreed, Zungu hasn’t delivered the goods so far. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluenoz 30,836 Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 I'm not seeing this "takes an age on the ball" stuff. The problem I see with Zungu is he needs to be more assertive. You would think a player trying to earn a contract would be willing to be more inventive. When Jack came on, he took the game by the scruff of the neck, that's what makes him special. Zungu has the qualities but he needs to impose himself on the game more. Maybe he just doesn't have the fire in the belly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
left winger 14,168 Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 He was rotten today, like most of the team. I doubt we'll keep him, but he wouldn't be the first to start slowly and be a good signing for us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balls gone Not true more than not he found a blue shirt just not defence splitting passes. Tidy on the ball does the simples things. I’m not too fussed if he goes in the summer, I think for 2 or 3 million we could get better but some of the stuff posted here is just baws. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MayboleLoyal_atb 3,688 Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 He’s not terrible just have a lot better on the bench. Seemed to slow our play down more than anything else. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
fin8577 402 Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 Every time I’ve seen him he Is impressive at all I think we need to look at other options. I would be very disappointed if we signed him permanently Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
B1872 20,718 Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 Don’t think we’ll be seeing him next season some how. Today and St Mirren show our squad isn’t there yet in terms of missing 4/5 key players. However we are still building and we’ll definitely get there. 👍🏻 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

G.E.C. 18,769 Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 All I’ll say is I’m glad he’s only on loan and we didn’t pay £3m for him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
EMRFC 4,780 Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 He’s ok to bring on for 10 mins to help see a game out but clearly not good enough to start, plays like it’s walking football and gave the ball away a couple times today. Player from Bournemouth, currently on loan at Wycombe coming in next season suggests Zungu won’t be signed permanently... thankfully Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimfanciesthedude 24,540 Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 The fact a lot of people are having a go at him for not being creative and not driving forward to assert himself attacking wise is utterly mental, especially when two of the three number 10's who are actually meant to do what people want from zungu, havent kicked their arse in weeks or months Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
steven33jackie 1,920 Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 Davis can't be expected to play at his current level game after game season after season. Replacing a player of his quality will take money, not a free transfer or development fee for a player with a handful of games under their belt. One thing for sure is that Zungu is miles away from having enough quality and is no more than a bit part player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

miracle 7,799 Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 This years useless loan signing. Send him back to his parent club, he offers nothing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Traive 22,756 Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 Not a chance he’ll be here next season, even if we were offered him on a free. Seriously hope that Ross Wilson has his Big Bumper Book Of Midfielders by his side from now until the next window closes. Davis looked class today but we can’t keep relying on him. If we get a serious offer for Kamara, he’ll be off and Aribo has talent but he’s no midfield grafter. Thank fuck for Jack. Maybe the lad from Bournemouth will help but he looks more like an enforcer than a craftsman. Be good to see some of our own youngsters (Dickson especially) get a chance once the title is won. But Zungu is a big NO from me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Negri's lovechild 14,050 Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 Massive difference today when Davis and Jack were on the pitch. The guys who came in didn't step up or even play well in spells, so wouldn't be disappointed if we didn't see Zungu again. Disappointed in Itten as it was a chance for him, but Zungu looks like he hasn't got the step up in quality that Davis or Jack bring. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCDBigBear 10,825 Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 I haven't seen anything in Zungu's play to merit making him permanent. A very average player for another team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clemdog 39,389 Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 It's just such a weird signing because he's so unsuited to our style of play (unless we're playing in Europe (potentially). Starting him away from home on a tiny plastic pitch is the opposite of what he'd enjoy. I'm sure he found today as uncomfortable as we did watching it. He's probably a decent footballer, but slows our game down something rotten due to the amount of time he needs on the ball. All in all it's just been a bizarre signing.

falkirkNS 6,298 Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 id rather see Ciaran Dickson,Stephen Kelly or Jamie Barjonas getting the chance, dont think any of them would be any worse than zunga plus counting as a scottish player for Euro squads. We kept giving barjonas contracts and now 22, i led to believe he was away permantley to Orange county, that cannot see that confirmed? Like Ojo, Ejara before, the loan season bizzare signing.

Disappointed in Itten as it was a chance for him, but Zungu looks like he hasn't got the step up in quality that Davis or Jack bring. To be fair to Itten, he took a knock quite early on and was limping for a while. In normal circumstances, he could well have come off. Not sure whether he soldiered on because we’re so short in that department or if it was because he didn’t want to blow his opportunity. Still happy he’s here (especially as Roofe has gone off the boil) and his hold up play is good. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
