Thread: Jozy on loan at Hull, Part IV [R]: "Brownie, you're doing a Hull of a job."

I'm not into the anxiety about Jozy not scoring. Obviously it would be nice, but Hull as a team is averaging less than a goal a game. 17 goals, 18 games. All I want to see out of Jozy on this terrible team is playing time and improvement.

Just look at last year's high scorers -- 3 had over 15.

It's weird. I remember there was one play at Villarreal when Rossi sent Jozy a pass in front of goal that Jozy had no chance to reach, so he didn't chase it. This prompted the commentators and BS posters to chide Jozy for his laziness. I don't think he displayed laziness on that play or throughout his career, but something about him invites the idea. Maybe it's because we have such high expectations of him, expecting him to...
