Until today, our front two, Norwood and Cole, hadn't matched that tally between them. It puts it into perspective and we've lacked bite up front this season. I'd have kept him personally.
I make comments on what I see , his goal contribution at Oakwell decided his future & I said at the time that a move for Victor might kick start his career & it has, fair play to him but it never worked for him with us & I doubt whether it would have if he had stayed , I think he would not have got the opportunity"s with us that he has had at Burton & good luck to him but yesterday he was shocking , he fell over 3 times in the first half & his contribution was to chase the ref & complain , in the second half despite Burton getting forward a lot more he never actually got on the ball , he was very poor along with his team mates & that summed up his day . I do not get this love in with ex players, hindsight is a wonderful thing & Victors popularity has risen with every goal he scores for Burton , the trouble is he couldn"t score for us , he had to go .
