STEVIE MAY

[taylor]

Like our other forwards, probably league one standard, nothing more

Shocking lack of faith/support.

I think that perhaps....

Wow.

Not really, currently, none of our strikers have proved they can do it at this level, doesn't mean to say they won't come good though. At the moment though, none should be starting in a decent championship side, and hopefully won't be when we bring in a striker

[Essix Blue]

Michael Owen at his best would struggle in this team ATM

Wow.

He's absolutely right- look at the evidence. He's 21, and .he's been here nearly 2 weeks. There's clearly no chance he's going to get any better.

Get rid.

May has played two games......TWO games.

I'm just curious, out of all the names you could have picked then you went with Owen. Why?

I see May is that type of striker

[Guest Harry Coy]

He's only a 62 on FIFA.

Good God!

Jimmy Greaves and Gerd Muller wouldn't have scored tonight with that creative midfield graveyard behind them.

Fair enough

[Lord Snooty]

Thought you said he was slow?

[SallyCinnamon]

Never stops running, didn't need to run that much, looks as if he was trying too hard.

I'm sure he'll do alright, lad needs time.

[gurujuan]

Thirty attempts on goal in two games, Gray wants us to average 15 a game so we are on plan. Our strikers have to do better in front of goal, no excuses

[i used to be sc_owl]

Looks exactly like a player signed after pre season and trying to adapt to a new club.

18 of those attempts were at half time with them lads trying to land it in a wheelie bin.

I don't class Maguire launching it 70 yards into the Kop as an attempt. I don't recall their keeper making a save all match. Stats can be very misleading.

[markg]

Runs around a bit too much for me but probably just keen to impress.

I think there's a key difference between headless running around though and how May played tonight.

Lee Peacock used to run around a lot. Tonight May hassled and harried Millwall all night. Chased down the right balls and the right causes and he forced mistakes from their backline in the right areas.

They won't be coming away from the game tonight thinking they've had an easy game. May's performance will be a big part of that.

If we want him to stop running around so much, we can do that by improving the service. He's quick and agile enough to react to anything that comes in the box, if we give him the chance to with the right service.
