    I was all for him until I actually saw him play for us at Coventry. Then I knew he was a dud.

    I want to change my prediction to 11.

    The last 8 will be on loan to St Albans City.

    They wouldn't want him. They have Sean Jeffers who is a much better striker.

    Maybe Raj could be the makeweight in a January transfer bid.

    Doesn't bode well that he has already been dumped to the bench and given brief appearances at the end of games...

    Shows how bad he has looked that he can start with that sort of scoring record and not even make the starting 11 a couple of games later.

    He's pi55 poor and I've always said that but there have been worse, Dixon, Mickey Quinn, Senior, Roger Willis, Moralee to name but a few. I don't believe he will score more than one or two goals from now on though

    Not playing to his strengths. Let’s go 5-0-5 and then see what happens……..

    I think playing to his strengths would look more like 0-0-0.

    Wonder if the signing of this fella, likely the recommendation of Manga, and how sh1te he's looked so far, was the final straw for Gino et all to give Manga the shove.

    He's going to end up with 4 or 5 goals all season.

    I'd said 8.5, how wrong was I?

    Not saying he's been a roaring success, but what is a £1m signing these days? Yes, there are diamonds in the rough out there, but I wouldn't have thought Rajovic would be far off an 'average' £1m player these days, we've had worse signings!

    What’s the consensus. Will he make as many appearances as Scott Fitzgerald or fewer?

    SF had 55 league appearances. Dominic Foley had 41. I really hope Rajovic is shipped out before getting close to any of those figures.

    Amazing. I had no idea. I would have put both down with 20 or below.

    How things can quickly change !

    I think people thought after his first couple of starts, he was a Malcolm Poskett sort of player. Never seemed to do much except score routinely. That evaporated when the penny dropped that unlike Malcolm, he was technically poor and not physically yet ready for the Championship. I would ship him off on loan in January to a League 1 side to see if he can cut it at that level. If not then send him home.

    Remember Foley had a loan spell before later being signed permanently. The Fitzgerald total is surprising, though.

    I predicted 16 goals I think and I'm too proud and stupid to admit I'm wrong. Give it hell today Mileta.

    Then you’ll be even more surprised to hear that Fitzgerald was our top scorer in 03/04 in a team that also included Heidar, Webber and Bouzza.

    So we've established that if you leave him free in the 6 yard area he's deadly, if not, he's a carthorse then

    If you put crosses in the box he’s effective. Outside the box he isn’t. It’s that simple.
