33 Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 My son came up with this question, so I will credit him, but it got me thinking and so a genuine question: Out of the 19 goals we have scored this season, how many goals have we scored when COG wasn't on the pitch...? i can think of JJ's first against Millwall and Barkley's penalty against Bolton...! If the answer is I suspect the majority of them, I wonder how this potentially impacts any view that he shouldn't be part of our starting 11. This and the fact that he has scored FIVE times as many as any other striker we have...! Yes, I'm pro-COG, but also more so pro-playing our most in-form striker, whether that is COG or anyone else...! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hdan450 Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 How many have we scored when Kirkland wasn't on the pitch, does anyone know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Innes Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 Oldham- all 4, subbed on at 45 Derby- all 3, played full 90 Birmingham- 2 of the 3, subbed 81 Millwall- 2 of the 3, subbed on at 58 Fulham- 0/1, didn't play Palace- 1/1, subbed of at 61 Hudds- 0/1, subbed on at 78 Bolton- 0/1, subbed on at 75 Burnley- 2/3, subbed off at 82 (bizarre) I am pretty sad looking all this up but interested me as well. Of course, it's all relative- he has been playing quite a bit and naturally will be on the pitch when we score. How many he gets involved in, and scores (more than I realised), however, is the more pressing matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
