Pieman Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 16 minutes ago, alanharper said: 2 years ago WBA had 2 strikers who both scored 20+ league goals, with 55 league goals between them, and didn't go up. Last season their two top scorers both had 10, and they were promoted - goals throughout the team is probably more important than relying on a single good striker. Similar at Leeds mate. It’s very much about attacking as a unit and goals coming from many different areas and players. I much prefer this approach to a lump at number 9, meaning we just hit it long or focus on putting crosses into the box. Total football from all angles is the future! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
83owl Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 9 minutes ago, royalowlisback said: If Kachunga had signed for Toytown or the Dingles, people would have been falling over themselves laughing at them. Saying If you sign a forward with 4 goals in 75 games, you get everything you deserve. Now he has signed for us, he's going to turn into Roy of the Rovers, score loads and lead us to promotion, because he was part of a side that got promoted over 3 years ago. Then the self appointed poster of happy thoughts accuses anybody that doesn't agree with the above, to be a narcissist, despite the fact that message boards are designed for people to post their views, and by dismissing those views, is only acting in a completely narcissistic manner themselves? Rhodes has about 90 goals in 180 championship games when we signed him. How well did that work out? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quick question - how many goals does he need to score for you (this coming season) to be a decent forward? If he passes that number can we blow raspberries at you and call you a silly sausage and a negative nancy Let's do it anyway 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
latemodelchild Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 Managed a few pages before skipping to the end, only to find more negativity and moaning. We've signed someone with pace in an area where we need it. If he comes in and scores goals or creates goals than that's brilliant. Nobody can predict whether he will or not. The way some of you are going off I honestly don't know why you bother supporting us. You need to go and support man City or summat cos they make loads of big name exciting signings that we can't. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Willow Owl Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 (edited) Some of our fans need a reality check. We are not the big club some of our fans think we are. We are not entitled to players just because we are SWFC and players should be falling over themselves to sign. We cannot spend millions just because we are SWFC and expected to compete for players that are frankly out of our range. We are a mid table championship team with a big ground and decent support. A club who haven’t been in the premier league for over 20 years FFS, stop slagging players off before they have kicked a ball for us, it’s embarrassing. rant over Edited September 2, 2020 by Willow Owl Spelling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ashley8 Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 Underwhelming.... so far the clear out which was necessary yes but we are buying and bringing in players to make a good league 1 team. We didn't get relegated. So far so many players who could.... Could be good but could be squad fillers. Please those complaining about negativity... complaining because you want better is not negative. Clapping crap doest get results or better quality. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S25OWL Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 I really hope Monk turns this around with these players as some of the comments on here are embarrassing - some players don't work at one club and then do at another - lets give the lads a chance before writing them off. P.S. Can you leave owlstalk and get back to TWS on Facebook as I have left the group so don't have to read negativity any more 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely everyone has known we needed some pace in the team so that's the main positive i'm taking from this. Build up the options we have to play the way the manager wants to play. Pacey players who play on the front foot. Is he a likely 20+ goals a season man? No. However he good help us create and score enough to get ourselves out of this hole. I hope he's more of a bench option but he's another player who's proven he can be a threat at this level - like Brown. More and more pace please. Completely agree. And with Beattie coaching I can see him adding plenty of goals to a much more mobile attack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HOOTIE AND THE SHIT TU Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 Does anyone know how many goals and assists he's got? 2 Just a bloke, who used up all his luck in one go when he met his wife. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
