He’s an easy scapegoat as for an attacking player, he isn’t flashy in the slightest but think some of the criticism he gets is excessive. He’s a useful player to have around the squad, particularly in games where we’re the “underdog”
There are occasions where his role is somewhat redundant, particularly when trying to break a team down, was never going to be much use chasing a goal against Huddersfield for example but think he’s got a role to play in the squad, even amongst our “exciting” wide options!
I think Camara's issue is he's just a bit average at a lot. So whilst he usually works hard and passes fairly tidily, he doesn't actually create a lot most of the time.
Which makes him an easy villain/scape goat.
I can sympathise with that viewpoint, but there can be a use for that sort of player if it’s balanced out elsewhere. We’ve seen the consequence in recent years with too much flair (Swift, Ejaria, Olise, Joao front four!) and not enough guile
*interestingly enough, we’ve only lost three games that Camara has started since the start of last season. Those games stand at Lincoln, Lincoln and Lincoln!
Besides, my point was more referred to the comments such as above^
