CMS enough is enough.

[blue and white stripes45]

I'm sorry if it's negative but the guy just ain't good enough. CMS pace is meaningless when he fails in all the other departments. He banged in a load of goals for Peterborough when they played gung-ho throughout. His miss ratio was probably just as impressive. Clearly it looks like we signed a striker on a record transfer fee based on stats whilst offloading a player who is now top goalscorer in the Championship because of money.
CMS reminds me of the days when we were relying on non-league forwards to 'do the job', Gary Hart was one which worked but clearly wasn't championship promotion material. CMS looks no better.
2 strikers are needed for the Albion regardless of how many forwards we already have. We need a Glenn Murray type player (maybe Austin or Cassidy?) and a composed finisher upfront (Fryatt?). At the moment it's embarrassing what we have upfront compared to other teams. I would actually rather see LuaLua upfront based on the fact he can do everything CMS can do and he isn't even a striker.
Until our upfront disability is sorted, we wont be finishing off teams at the bottom and we wont be competing with the top end teams in comebacks.
All we need is the strike force to match the the rest of the team, then we would be a force, even with 10 men.

Should of got rid of him when Reading made an offer, hopefully he will go to Norwich in January, when CMS is on the pitch we are playing with 10 men today we had 9 after Dunky was sent off

Let Hoskins have a go, he has looked sharp in spite of a lack of match practice and his first touch is better than others. I would like to see Hosky play alongside CMS, I think they would be a real handful. Trouble is Gus doesn't look to play two up front, so probably won't ever happen.

and no amount of re-tweeting or waving at the fans is going to ease the pain.

On the other hand it does protect him from the hooded claw, keeps the vampires from his door.

What a thread full of bollocks.

Yep. I'm trying to give my fellow NSCers the benefit of the doubt, as they're all pissed, but even taking alcohol into account, this thread is full of crap.

There's nothing wrong with CMS. We were away from home and our game relies on keeping possession, which is tough when you're a man down after 6 minutes.

 

[DarrenFreemansPerm]

What a thread full of bollocks.

CMS started the season well as we played to his strengths, now we aren't and rather like last season he is isolated and our ONLY outlet.

His shooting is so awful yeah, did you miss the goal against Wolves the other week

He has scored a couple of good goals this season, but Philip Mexes has scored the goal that will probably be recognised as goal of the season, he's a centre back with a poor scoring record. Any player can hit a worldy with a bit of luck on their side, a good striker should be able to tuck away a 1on1 every now and then.

CMS and Hoskins with Buckley and Orlandi is the combination that will see us overtake the croydon scum.

The only player out of that four that is a genuine class act is Buckley.

It's not just based on today's shoddy finishing you doughnut. He lacks composure in front of goal, there isn't really a debate to be had about it, he just isn't a natural finisher.

Tough on Orlandi, he looks very good.

 

[Stat Brother]

He was put through today by Barnes and had a one on one with the keeper. He failed, so don't blame the service.

And all the time we are looking only to CMS to score all our goals this will continue.

Every single striker on the planet misses those chances, but they don't have to shoulder the expectation of the entire team.
They are able to miss knowing they will get other chances and the team will also get other chances.

CMS doesn't have that luxury, the moment he becomes marooned from the ever retreating midfield. .

Those 4 will give us all the goals we need to rise above palarse.

He misses them time & time again. I can't remember the last time he scored a one on one.

The thread's been started right after the game, and all these reactions are right after the game. He was under pressure for the one on one, and hit the post. A few inches the other way and this thread would be saying how brilliant he is. He's a good player and scores his share of goals.

I'll bow to your knowledge I can't remember him getting the opportunity time & time again.

People are finally getting annoyed with his woeful finishing, how many chances did he have against Bolton and Peterborough and still he scored 0. I love the effort he puts in and sometimes his skill and touch are sublime, but more often than not he scuffs his shot. Not good enough.

 

[PsychoPaul]

Or a larger goal

lol

Judging solely on the two he scored last season against Leeds you have not got a clue about composure or the skill set of a natural finisher.In both those goals he destroyed your argument,the composure of receiving his ball with his back to the goal,his standing on the ball to turn and the shot,and his second where he got his toe in ahead of the defender and the goalkeeper to snatch the second proving his goal pinching instinct.
CMS is a natural goal scorer who will get 20+ this season

 

[Buzzer]

Yep. I'm trying to give my fellow NSCers the benefit of the doubt

How f***ing noble of you.

There's nothing wrong with CMS.

How f***ing blind of you.

 

[Tony Meolas Loan Spell]

He MISSED A ONE ON ONE MISSED. MISSED. MISSED. TWO AND A HALF MILLION. MISSES. There is EVERYTHING WRONG WITH HIM.

 

[Danny-Boy]

Yeah..like the Smowman...enjoy that at Xmas. THe Snowman has more chances of scoring against Palace than anyone on the albion squad.
