Yikes. I've been surprised that Ebanks-Blake has had such a small impact. I mean yeah sure, theres a massive step up from Championship to Premiership but you'd expect a guy who scores 20plus every season in the Championship could at least get 5-10 goals in the league above. That said, as far as I'm aware he hasnt been a regular starter has he?

Confidence issues. He's missing chances that he would've buried last season with his eyes closed.
He's played a fair few games this season but at some point we had to take him out of the firing line to give someone else a chance. I still reckon he'll come good, hopefully before the end of the season...

Ebanks blake reminds me in some way like michael chopra.. can score for fun in the championship but struggles big time for goals in the Prem, said that i know ebanks is still only young so is time for him to step up.

My fear is that he joins a long long list of 1st Division strikers who could never make that step up, Healy, Chopra, Nugent, etc

There was rumour Chopra was on his way back to us (Toon) this transfer window. I'm glad it never happened because he's not a great player. In his initial time at Newcastle before we fobbed him off to Cardiff he scored 1 goals in 34 games. He just can't cut it in the Premiership.
Ebanks-Blake might still come good, after all he's got age on his side, but I wouldnt be surprised if he didnt as so many other players have failed.
