DJMortimer Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 1 hour ago, FreshOwl said: 47 goals in over six years for a striker, and an average of around 3 assists a season. Come off it His average season for us so far is 20.1 starts, 19.7 appearances from the bench, 7.1 goals and 4.3 assists. Not the stuff of legend to be sure, but neither is it commensurate with the avalanche of abuse he has faced, especially when so many other strikers have had far worse returns, including in some of the same squads he has been in. Having spent the majority of his tenure being anywhere from 3rd to 6th in the pecking order, it seems respectable enough to me if numbers are your be-all and end-all.

But, believe it or not, Clinton Morrison actually got 5 assists in one game (6-2 vs Bristol Rovers in the 2010-11 season. Best left foot to ever come out of Airdrie? Brian McClair will be more fuming about that than when Chris Turner saved his header at Wembley in the cup final In seriousness Bannan has been brilliant for Wednesday and the stats prove it.

Rodger Wylde Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 Is it just me that hears finger nails scraping on a blackboard when someone mentions asists? Assists. What a load of nonsense. Surely, even some of the qualifying descriptions of them makes them a complete farce. Please make it stop! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May not be many fans player of the decade if any but he's been an influential player regardless of anyone's opinion of Atdhe Nuhiu. Well you would expect so hes only been here nearly 10 seasons Looking at that list I miss Lines and Wallace. Totally forgot about Mellors spell and he banged a dozen or more in. Ahh the forgotten days... when we were truly terrible and yet people still grumble now. Shame on you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McRightSide Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 (edited) Couple of things stand out... Pretty good assists return from Bannan esp given that usually the wide forwards are typically the most prevalent creators of goals How disappointing are Liam Palmer’s figures given that he not only scored highly on appearance, but also was on 7 assists by the end of 2013/14 Edit: make that 5 assists, as I counted his Tranmere ones...but still I think the point stands Edited December 31, 2019 by McRightSide Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like a lot of said her one of those players who attract comments from both ends of the spectrum. He's not as bad as some make out but equally he's not as good as others make out. My opinion is that we do need better than him, JR and Winnall to move forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tend to shy away from most Nuhiu Nuhiu arguements as I've left the ground many times slating him and as you mentioned I've also left the ground singing his praises after witnessing some ridiculous tekkers (I believe the youth of today call it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McRightSide Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 The only thing I can work out from all of this info is that Nuhiu is easily our Player of the Decade. Well done Atdhe 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think he'd just maniacally yell "NUHIU" at the top of his lungs, foaming at the mouth at every single one of them no matter what it looked like? So it appears now that Nuhiu is the sole cause of our mediocrity over the last decade. Swivel-eyed loon. Some observations are not always appreciated on here. Particularly in the countless, weekly, Nuhiu threads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AYs the same things before and after his yearly visit. ”Is that donkey still playing up front ?” And “I think this will be my last visit” You can set your watch by it.

Although I do recall someone called Pecjnik getting more game time for his country than he did for us - whilst he was contracted to us. The ghost of Godje Sedkowski.
