FreshOwl Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 Also. Neil mellor was a much much better striker than Madine and his 20 goals the season before seems to get overlooked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue and white Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 (edited) If you look at the scrutters from down the road the only times they have done well we're when they had James Beattie and Ched Bundy, soon as they lost those players they were useless. It just goes to show that a 20+ goals a season is vital. I do believe May could be that mam now he has had a season to settle in.

FlyingOwl Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 Fuuuucking hell he really wasn't 'class' was he? Few pens and tap ins against shower opposition. Really has got to stop this imaginary talent people associate with him based out of thin air So penalties and tap ins don't count? Steve MacLean was loved for it....

F. Spiksley Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 In a good season in the Championship, there will be about 5 20+ goal strikers. Last season ; Ross McCormack Leeds United 28 Jordan Rhodes Blackburn Rovers 25 Troy Deeney Watford 24 Lewis Grabban AFC Bournemouth 22 Danny Ings Burnley 21 Chris Martin Derby County 20 Dave Nugent Leicester City 20 Sam Vokes Burnley 20 It's no surprise that the top clubs are the ones with the 20 goal strikers, but they've got them because they can afford it. Who of those could we afford, and would we have the ammunition to supply them? 20 goal strikers don't often come as half season loans, and less often to teams who do t create mountains of opportunities. It takes more than a striker to get a 20 goal striker. Value of these players? e.g. McCormack showed class against us at Craven Cottage that is what £11m can do.

F. Spiksley Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 In my eyes, if we are in championship next season, then May will definately be close to 20. I'll go out on a limb here. He's not shown that promise so far, arguably glimpses. Maybe May needs a higher calibre of striking partner and supply from midfield. Or maybe St.Johnstone had a purple patch in a very different level of football competition. Dare I say it, the team set up doesn't suit him. He has had over half a season at this level. He is young but then again so was Madine in league 1 but look what has happened there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlyingOwl Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 Ings and Vokes never looked like 20 goal championship strikers before last season. Things change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I hope, like many do that May could be our Ings or Vokes next term. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Frickley Owl Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 I love May, I genuinely think he has quality but for some reason it just isn't working for him here. Hopefully he can turn it around, but I honesty expect him to leave for half a mil or so in a season or two back to Scotland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FreshOwl Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 So penalties and tap ins don't count? Steve MacLean was loved for it.... both rubbish strikers, one plying his trade in scotland and the other will soon be at a similar level Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really has got to stop this imaginary talent people associate with him based out of thin air Gary Lineker's career was based on tap ins and penlties. It's strker's instinct. The ability to go undetected into an area where goals are almost certain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
