These West Brom fans want to see Kenneth Zohore given more game time after an impressive FA Cup outing.
So far this season, Zohore has played 11 Championship matches but has only been in the starting lineup 15% of the time. However, when given his chance in the FA Cup, the 25-year-old has managed to score. This has left some West Brom fans wanting to see more of Zohore.
Here’s what the Baggies fans had to say about Zohore’s performance in the FA Cup:
Zohore: “I’ve been waiting for a chance to play and to show what I can do. I think today I set a good example of myself.
I’ve been speaking with Bili?. He knows I’ve been frustrated but I’ve just had to wait for my chance.
I think I took that chance today.”#WBA pic.twitter.com/nC2Rw1qChn

Zohore was injured as Kanu and Austin hit form, since then Bili? has had a each sub as a different position and didn’t need two strikers on the bench when playing 1 so i agree with the tactics there.
The cup was always his chance to rotate and Zohore showed us why we signed him— JonW1995 (@JonW1995) January 5, 2020
Always backed him he’s what we need in a lone striker system

This is the striker we thought we’d signed last summer, let’s hope we see more of this from him

Should Kenneth Zohore start against Charlton?
Yes
No
West Brom signed Zohore for £8.01m from Cardiff on 19th July 2019, so these fans might finally want to get some sort of return on that investment. One fan had even mentioned that he was better than Hal Robson-Kanu despite the former Wales international having hit six goals in his 19 Championship appearances this season (per TransferMarkt).
Big Ken is going to get a run in the team now @AGiles21 ! Better get that £20 note handy

For me he’s done enough to start again on Saturday

What Do We Think?
Does one good performance automatically make you a starter? We don’t think so and with Charlie Austin scoring seven goals and Hal Robson-Kanu scoring six so far this season, Kenneth Zohore, who is valued at £6.3 million (as per Transfermarkt), has a real fight on his hands.
However, the Danish striker has only played 416 minutes in the Championship this season, so perhaps he at least deserves to be getting a bit more game time off the bench.
