tylswhite Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 I like Petrov and think he brings a lot to the team I think we have enough tackle in midfield to cover his lack of I wouldn't put anyone on the left before him he's what we've been crying out for, particulary under Megson He brings a lot to the team? Like what? I seriously cant see what good he does for us at all. The last two away games City and Sunderland he has been so bad we could of played lofty (the lion not the legend) in his place and got more out of him.

Gonk Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 We've scored 30 goals in 18 game 4th highest goalscorers in Prem so attack play is not issue but just one clean sheet all season which proves we're struggling at the back compared to 9 clean sheets for Mackems. Anyone know how many points goals scored conceded after 18 games last season as a comparison. I can't be arsed researching it either, but Id hazard a guess at less, less, less.

Apart from ONE pass I would totally agree with that - at 57 I would have done better than that waste of space And after a few ok ish games our beloved Taylor is as bad; well maybe not as bad as Petrov Play Chunky and Moreno for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The big disappointment for me is his crap crossing. I thought this was going to be his main strength, but Taylor's delivery is vastly better.

The last two away games City and Sunderland he has been so bad we could of played lofty (the lion not the legend) in his place and got more out of him. pace, goals, a direct approach, will run at defenders, not afraid to shoot, capable of taking set peices, got a good left foot, experience the last 2 away games you mentioned - pick a player who left the field having had a good game - as all round we were pretty lame throught the side Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jules_darby Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 maybe he's got glandular fever or something Very good, but Taylor always puts the effort in - it was just that he looked knackered all the time during the "glandular" period Petrov barely breaks sweat Which is remarkably what he was like at City Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All he does is shoot, shoot, shoot and he rarely gets it on target. Them two games though he stuck out like a sore thumb because he was that bad even when most of the team was poor.

Anyone know how many points goals scored conceded after 18 games last season as a comparison. Last Season: Pld 18: W4, D6, L8 Goals for: 26, goals against 36. 18pts, 18th position So, this season we're 8 points and 11 places better off. We've scored 4 more goals and conceded 11 less. So, the defence has improved more than the strikeforce! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Supporter Ratwhite Posted December 26, 2010 Site Supporter Share Posted December 26, 2010 (edited) apparantly we are in talks with some Bolivian striker no name as yet , maybe in case Elmander is sold Will he get his name before we sign? Or how do we chant his name if he scores? "One bloke with no name, theres only one bloke with no name, one bloke with no name, there's only one bloke with no name" Or can we have a vote on his name? Or auction his naming rights. I like the sound of Keith Reebok Rodgers. Any one else got a view?? Edited December 26, 2010 by Ratwhite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
