Is this Part of the Reason we Cannot Score?

[London Irish]

Not allowing a strike pairing to develop HAS made a difference, and that is MM's fault, IMHO...

And which two players would you have selected incessantly regardless of form or results?

Can I make an appeal to people who agree with this daft theory to at least state the names of two players.

Would've been Knight and CKR. But seeing as how that isn't going to work now i'd go for CKR and McPhee. Pace, Power and Work Ethic. Sorted!


But I suppose should these two do the business on Saturday, but then not perform at Bramwall Lane, We should chop and change it, because that does young players confidence no end of good.

 

[Brighton Breezy]

Kazim - Richards and Robinson

 

[Spiros]

With what we have now I would probably start with the Trolley as an out and out target man with either Robinson or CKR playing just behind him. CKR does not play well with his back to goal - if he plays as the leading forward he'll get booked every game and be suspended again before the end of January. While I know Trolley is not the greatest he does at least hold the ball up - I don't know the stats but I would guess that more of our chances against Coventry came once he was on as he at least helped to get others into the game.

For the time being I would probably opt for Trolley and Jake (he does at least put defenders under pressure) with CKR resuming his supersub role in the last half an hour if we need to freshen things up.

Peter Ward scored goals for fun because he had consistent a strike partners - sometimes not even a very good one. The same could be said of Bobby Zamora.

Do you remember Peter Ward, Stephen? No? Oh never mind - any two from trolley, El Turi, CKR and Robinson it is then.

Kazim - Richards and Robinson

CKR and either McCammon or Robinson. I don't mind - just as long as the partnership is given an extended run.

but you're missing the whole point (again). It's not about WHO plays there it's consistancy you rugby loving goon.

Yep, consistent UNDERPERFORMANCE.

It's great, isn't it, that all the goons who replied to my challenge haven't named one common partnership, and arch-goon Simper has just named all the strikers!

Will the penny drop that we currently don't have two strikers who are clear of the others to be picked incessantly regardless of results and form?

 

[Simster]

Yep, consistent UNDERPERFORMANCE.

So when was the last time the same two strikers played in 4 successive games for Albion?

You need to play consistently in order to pick up form, you muppet.

Have you ever played the game? Ah no, another silly question I fear.

When was the last time we had two strikers who were good enough to demand that right?

*is the real question you should be asking Simper*

Ah yes, I'm sure your football credentials outshine that of McGhee, Booker, Hinshelwood, Wilkins, White etc.

Do you forget, Simper, that it's not me you are arguing with, but them?

And come on, stop sitting on the fence, who are your two best strikers you would stick with come what may, come bad form, come bad results, and, why the heck not, come injuries?

Have the guts to name two players!

The bizarre thing is that all the people who support this daft theory have picked different partnerships. You would think they would be interested in debating the merits of their different picks with each other? Oh no! Just pick any two, as long as it's the same!

 

[Les Biehn]

Extended run of Trolley and one of CKR or Jakey. Would pick one and give the other about 20 mins at the end, more or less depending on how the game is going.

Bless - you do like to do that. i.e. Fail to answer the question because you can't, so you resort to the old "well Mark McGhee agrees with me SO THERE" flounce. I guess we shouldn't give our opinions here then, because they're obviously wrong because McGhee doesn't agree with us.

And come on, stop sitting on the fence, who are your two best strikers you would stick with come what may, come bad form, come bad results, and, why the heck not, come injuries?

*sigh* I'll say what I've been saying for the past 2 months. I'd start with CKR for sure, and play him with either McCammon or Robinson. I'm not sure which, I think they bring different qualities to the table, but neither are all that good. However, what I do know from my experiences playing the game, is that the weaknesses can certainly be improved upon by playing regualrly and forming an understanding with your team mates. See John Crumplin* for details (amongst many others I suspect). Now why don't you f*** off to the search facility and spend 20 minutes trying to disprove what I've just said.

So f***ing what. It's a message board you silly rugby loving dork.

Thanks Simper, you've saved me the time of arguing against your post by doing it yourself

The penny may not be dropping, but it's getting slightly dislodged

No, no I haven't. The fact that I'm not sure who the second striker should be does not mean I want McGhee to change the second striker every game. :simpleton:

I think McGhee should make the decision which of the two should partner CKR - but that he should in fact make that decision rather than chopping and changing every single game.

Spurs Lose on sunday for the first time in ages, they looked crap up front and neither striker really looked like scoring or knew where the other was, guess what? it wasnt there first choice striker PARTNERSHIP.

Re: Re: Is this Part of the Reason we Cannot Score?

There's a flaw in your hypothesis as, with the greatest respect to Bobby's team mates at the time, Bobby Zamora played with part time DJ's and for all he cared it could have been turds week in week out and he scored goals. I concur, either a striker converts the chances into goals or he doesn't, ours or wannabe strikers haven't. If he needs to hold hands and go steady with another striker to get that 'understanding' then he ought not turn out for Brighton because actually we're doing alright for chances, just no-one manages to get their blessed banjo within an inch of the barn door.
