Says the person who thought Slade was a rubbish manager when he first joined. I think Davies should count it as a blessing that you think he is shit judging by your judgement of everything else.

I stand by the fact Slade's record was shit to start with played 7 won 1 drawn 1 lost 5.
Davies is f***ing rubbish, end of.
How many goals do you reckon he'll score next season?

2 more by luck than judgement. I seriously would not play him though. I would transfer PDQ so he cannot miss a hatful of open goals this season which he is sure to do.

Do you get some sort of joy out of slagging off players? Does it someone define you as a person? Why not wait and see? He obviously has ability and did well at Stockport last season so why not give him another chance rather than seemingly enjoying slagging him off. I believe he is a confidence player and a goal last year during his bad spell would have changed his season.
Also, how did he cost us 12 points. He missed a one on one against Northampton and that would have won us 2 points, his sitter at MK was at 2-0 down so probably would not have gained us anything but even accepting that as a point we could have got I cannot think of any more.

I saw him miss at least 5 open goals. I do not agree he has ability. Confidence player is a cop out, either you have it or you don't , its an excuse. I don't enjoy slagging him off but Slade has seen he is rubbish and I expect him to off loaded very soon.
Would you be interested in a little wager?
A score says he scores more than 2 goals next season.

I´ll have some of that. Money where your mouth is US.
I think sponsoring him is a good idea.

What all the detractors are missing is the fact that he got into positions to make loads of misses. Most of our strikers apart from Zamora over the last decade have struggled to een make a chance. The guy will be quality imo, missing the chances is much bette than not even making them imo, he will come good.

Ow please, don't go down that avenue cause it's a rubbish argument. Mark Farringdon used to 'get into good positions' too. And Richard Tiltman. And Richard Barker who in my mind only got 20 games before he eventually scored because we literally had no one else. If that's all you judge a player, and striker more's to the point, then thousands of equally fit people could claim to be professional footballers.....

With the team we had for most of last season getting into goalscoring positions was pretty impressive imo and Davies did it loads of times in virtually every game he played. We'll see how Davies does this season, you may think it's a rubbish argument but I think yours is as well. I don't recall Tiltman missing many as he was totally f***ing clueless and playing about 4 divisions above his abilities, Farrington was not as bad as some would have you believe and Barker turned into a cult hero.
Maybe you can't tell the difference between an out of form striker and a shit one
The most depressing thing about this debate is that there will be some fans who do want Davies because it is more important to them to be 'right' in their assessment about him than the Albion succeeding.
I do think he'll score a few this season, probably 8-10.
But he was awful last season.
That miss at MK took the piss.

Seeing him run his socks off at Hereford last year days after getting a load of unwarranted abuse from Brighton fans made me love him.
In fact, chants of 'One Craig Davies' from then on were pretty much the highlight of my season. He clearly loved them as well.
The man will have a better season than Dickinson. I BET.

But we're talking PAST tense, not future!! And he wasn't very good last season. You can have bad seasons you know. And be able to call them as such.

I Wonder Whether Slade Is Thinking Of Playing Davies At Centre Half? He's Certainly A Bustler And Therefore Good In The Air And Almost Certainly A Better Player Than Lynch, Although I Wouldn't Mind Lynch Moving To Left Back To Accomodate Davies.
