Need murray to play tomorrow, on his day he is class, and normally performs well on the big stage, him and wood up top would be ideal.
If Gus ever leaves sexy Glenn out in favour of Barnes again I'm giving up on the season.
Maybe, but it's obvious to a headless man in a wheelchair that Murray is the key man upfront. It doesn't matter who's scoring, it's just a case of us as a team only looking like scoring when he is on the pitch. To think of playing Barnes and/or Wood ahead of him is just crazy.
Did anyone else see the moment at Burgess Hill where he got leathered square in the mowt by a defender's boot, fell to the floor, lay prone for ten seconds in silence, said "fook" once, then got up and got on with it?
That was when I fell in love with him.
Just to add to the discussion, these are the average match ratings* for Glenn Murray in the league so far (I've not kept track of the cup games)
Murray
Rochdale ....... 7.63
Sheff Wed ..... 6.13
Walsall .......... 7.24
MK Dons ........ 7.39
Carlisle .......... 6.64
Plymouth ....... 6.75
Oldham ......... 6.37
Brentford ...... 7.24
Tranmere ...... 8.00
Bournemouth . 6.77
Charlton ........ 8.22
Yeovil ........... 8.58
Peterborough . 8.30
Exeter .......... 7.40
Hartlepool ..... 5.67
Bristol Rovers.. 6.42
*Mean average of marks out of ten in the player rating threads on nsc.
Why all the panic ? I fully expect Muzza and Wood to be in the starting line up with Barnesy on the bench at St Marys
'The Day I Fell in Love with Glenn Murray' should be a thread of it's own, and possibly a film.
Not so much panic but I have to say i'm a bit worried we haven't sorted out a new contract for someone I would concider to be a key player.
Muzza is going to be in exactly the same position as Fozzy , nothing will be sorted until the end of the season.
I'm not sure that will definitely be the case. Murray is a different kettle of fish to Forster, presumably.
Much respect for keeping track of that, I can't believe his average rating at Hartlepool though. He won EVERYTHING in the air, he just had noone feeding off him.
The away games always tend to have fewer ratings, and that week only 3 people gave ratings, he got two 6's and a 5.
That's a real shame, he didn't deserve a 5 for that game. He was our best player by a country mile. I'm going to look for that ratings thread and see who is responsible for such stupid ratings. Clearly, people who just don't like the man.
