Juke was a strange one, never prolific but he did score a few for all his previous clubs and he's scored nearly 50 for Birmingham since leaving us, but for Burnley he just couldn't buy a goal, not one. I thought he was a good replacement for Vokes, big strong lad, good in the air, could hold the ball up, very similar to Sam, but it was bizarre watching him, chance after chance, but they just slid past the post, hit the bar, stunning save from the keeper, kicked off the line, you thought one had to go in sooner or later, but none ever did, not a one. Then off to Birmingham and the goals flowed again, scored in his second game for them and has never looked back, weird.
I think Jutkiewicz found his true level in the Championship, but oddly Vokes seems to be struggling at Stoke. I sincerely hope Garlick is suffering pangs of guilt for accepting £9 million from the Potters?

Somehow, I'll bet he is sleeping like a baby.
