Maddogbob Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 Only the very best strikers create goals on there own. Even then how many per season? Service is the key. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee A Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 You've got to love football supporters. We're not doing very well at the moment so the next random bloke who isn't playing and who is taking his turn as the answer to all our problems is... # RUMMAGES IN VELVET BAG AND PICKS OUT NUMBER # ...Caolan Lavery. Still not seen a Bywater at full back thread though, disappointing I must admit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
since59owe Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 A gun wont fire without ammo Car wont start without fuel A natural finisher can't score without supply All well and good, but nothing is a given, hard running and a fast work rate comes first, time and space you have to find, feeling sorry for one's self will get us nowhere, true grit is needed plus a never say die attitude, and an intrepid fired-up hit the ground running and play fast flowing football and fight for every ball and play without fear, DJ needs to be positive or players will get nervous.

Lee A Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 Or Megson as stadium guide. Megwai gets name dropped for every job going, Need somebody to clean the bogs on the kop?

Ever the pessimist Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 Madine and Bothroyd can both be considered decent finishers, maybe not natural finishers like a Jermain Defoe type but they are capable of sticking it in the net The only question then is, what are they actually supposed to finish? Agree that Madine is a good finisher - I can't remember him ever missing a 1 on 1, which is why I always think it is a shame when he plays as the hold up man rather than someone who plays facing the opposition goal I do, however, disagree with using Defoe as an example of natural finishing. His tactic is generally smash it as hard as possible towards goal. Often works, but also often hits keeper. I think Darren bent is a more natural finisher, he does it instinctively. Maybe he does not offer much else, but finishing wise he is excellent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Willing to agree to disagree and use a young Michael Owen as an example instead? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheffield_dave Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 I'm incredibly frustrated at the moment by the lack of first team football Madine is getting. He's a young striker who scored 18 goals last season and isn't getting a look in right now. Madine might not be good enough but he deserves a chance to prove so either way.

He needs to push himself in training if he does not he will not get picked, simple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ever the pessimist Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 Interesting one that, I understand what you mean about Defoe, but he sticks the ball away more often than not Bent for me is not the most natural finisher, he takes 3 or 4 chances to score and never actually looks like he's going to, saw him play for England against Switzerland at Wembley, should have had 5 at least, although I have seen him do far better than that in fairness. Willing to agree to disagree and use a young Michael Owen as an example instead? Fair enough, I wld say judging Bent on an international maybe shows up his lack of international quality movement, however I suppose if he still got the chances that night it was the finishing that let him down. Owen is a good example, always found the corner, even with a scuffed effort. Hoddle said he was not a natural finisher, would be interesting to know who he felt was. Linekar maybe?

Yea but why not? He's rated. DJ said when he came to the club that if players are not performing they will loose the shirt. What have we got to loose by trying him?

Guest Kagoshimaowl Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 I would gove Madine 5 games in a row and seee how he does. Our best finisher by an absolute mile!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
@owlstalk Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 Have we got one? No in my opinion. I'm not trying to he negative. We seem to have a wealth of holder uppers and flicker oners. But nobody running on and scoring-ers. Why not try young lavery. Been getting a few in the development team Gary Madine - Goal Machine Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
