Parsons Cross Owl Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 At last a break. Hopefully our season has turned, who knows Stevie May, might even start scoring Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrickyTrev Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Very good news for the lad, though maybe not us. Agreed, now I got to spend more time watching all this "intellegent play" he does every week that I always seem to miss and providing zero goal scoring threat.

Southie_Owl Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Yep. Why oh why didn't we sign Jordan Rhodes? Le Fondre or Maynard may have been more realistic targets with a history of scoring goals in this league Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SallyCinnamon Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Le Fondre or Maynard may have been more realistic targets with a history of scoring goals in this league Maynard has done naff all for years. Le Fondre may have wanted to go to Bolton instead? Gray isn't stupid, if he was available he would have looked at him. The player has to want to come aswell.

Guest Sheff Owl Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Talking of signing quality strikers, did we all not want Matt Fryatt? We all said he would be a quality addition, people even saying he could be a 20 goal man, yet look how it's turned out at Forest. Fryatt - 15 games started, 6 Sub - 5 goals Lets compare that two our strikers.. Nuhiu - 22 games started, 8 Sub - 7 goals Nuhiu - 24 games started, 4 Sub - 5 Goals I don't necessarily think singing a big name player is going to guarantee you goals, sometimes it just works and sometimes it doesn't. If we had signed Fryatt and he had scored 5 goals for us there would be people shouting to sign another quality striker, yet we signed one in Fryatt didn't we? The biggest problem is we haven't got the balance right, you can't expect to score goals when the supply is awful, people like Maghoma, Maguire, Coke, lee, Semedo etc was never going to give us the quality we need/crave. We have now added McGugan but he can't do it alone, we need more to help, compliment what we have in McGugan etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owls Loyal Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 No one wants to see serious injuries but a return to Man Utd for Keane might have opened the way to the signing of a proper striker. Someone who has scored goals at Championship level or above. Not a novice who should be learning his trade at Hartlepool or Bury, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrickyTrev Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Very true. Why the hell didn't we go for Chris Martin at Derby then? FFS Gray these 20 goal a season strikers were available Whenever anyone slates Gray you always come up with the same old ridiculous argument of "oh why didn't we go out and sign Jordan Rhodes", "aren't Wednesday fans so stupid", completely going over the top. I'm not saying we should have gone out and signed a 20 goal striker, I'm saying we should have gone out and signed a striker who had a better track record than Keane... Which wouldn't have been difficult considering when he signed he'd never scored a senior goal. Sadly I've been proven right, we needed a bigger goal threat when he came in and the distinct lack of chances that he's had in matches speaks volumes. Now you can sugar coat him all you like talking about his great link up play, or his great "footballing brain" (whatever that's supposed to mean??), you can even try to claim that anyone that doesn't rate him is stupid and thinks we should have signed Jordan Rhodes but the fact is he's delivered very little to a forward line that's struggled to score goals. I never thought we'd get s 20 goal striker but I thought we'd bring someone in who'd at least scored 1 goal when he signed, ALF was available for loan... Even Luke Varney has a better record than Keane!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SallyCinnamon Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 How on earth have you been proved right? Keane has made four starts! He's not really had a distinct lack of chances either, you accuse me of going over the top when you're making out he's just stood there and done absolutely nothing.

Owls Loyal Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Over the last month Gray could have gone for Le Fondre, Best, Maynard, Beccio or Kenwyne Jones who Cardiff were prepared to loan out. Even old timers like a Gudjonnson or Yakubu on a short term deal would imo have been more likely to score in the Champioship than the lightweight Keane. Let us be very clear Keane has never scored a goal in open play in the football league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
