Thought you were practising your guitar until Pulis had left Corky?

I've actually been having a nap. Even better.

There were games he should have been sat at the side of me and he would have had as big an effect on the game as he did being on the pitch . Totally disinterested at times

 

You must be getting mixed up someone else then.  Make an appointment with an optician

Funny thing is we now have a manager who probably would’ve got the best out of him having had success with similar players in the past:

I'm sure someone else has pointed it out, but I will anyway.

 

Luas Joao  9

Sheffield Wednesday  7

 

(as of half time, before Reachy gets his second half hat trick......)

He was crap last season too.

Evers his day, and all that.

[Lee A]

Doing well there. 

 

But no matter what he or any other forward did, they wouldn't score goals in our side at the moment.  

 

We're just ever so slightly w@nk I'm afraid.

Striker scores goals in team creating chances. It's not a huge surprise. We are creating absolutely nothing. 

 

We got great money for him. He did nothing in a poor team last year,  he's doing well in a good team this year.

 

Forget about him.

You have to create chances to score goals, Joao is now in a team that is doing that - it’s not rocket science.

 

You wouldn’t bet against him scoring against us in midweek.

[Shetland Owl]

he was always in a position to create chance for himself and not rely on others and we miss that. At the time it was a good move for the owls as we needed the money

He scored 7 in 20 appearances last season, not all of them were starts. I'd snap your hands off for a 1 in 3 striker now!

 

He scored 26 league goals in 113 games for us, but only 57 of those appearances were starts. He goals per minutes ratio has always been decent at this level, regardless of the quality of the team.

If he keeps this up at least we’ll get a decent sell on bonus - assuming we put one in but nothing surprises me anymore

He was often dropped even when he did have a good game. Why should he give a poo?

 

He was terribly managed here most of the time.

When you think of players like Joao you'd think that Pulis would hate them but you're right. Pulis managed Ricardo Fuller brilliantly, he was a match winner for Stoke so many times.

Very good player, Joao. Always knew he had all the attributes to be a top Champ player and who could play in the premier league. Only his mental application let him down which was his downfall. 
 

But we had too many strikers at the club which is never healthy. Joao was never managed correctly either, often been played out of position or been dropped regularly.
