Apologies if this has been covered in another post but I see that CMS scored his 100th career goal for Peterborough today, which is a terrific achievement.

Many congratulations to him from all of his friends at the Albion.

I am not on Twitter but it would be nice if an NSCer could send him a congratulatory message on behalf of all of us who enjoyed his time at the Albion. I always admired his boundless energy and his hand flapping goal celebrations!

No.

Square peg in a round hole here

Don't see why anyone would dislike him. The wrong player for Poyet's system and never the same after his achilles rupture. But could never fault his attitude.

If we had kept Murray to play upfront with him we'd have made it to the PL at least 3 years ago IMO.

Difficult to disagree with

CMS never quite made his name with us . However he did have a bad injury,gave his all and was a perfect club ambassador(apart from scoring goals ) .Well done CMS !

CMS will always, for me, be remembered for the cross which Ulloa clattered into to score in the last minute at Forest.

Wrong player wrong style of team hardly his fault was it.

If we had kept Murray and signed Maybe Ulloa, for less money than CMS, we would have walked this league by then.

As a manager, Poyet was not a winner (and is not). As others have said, if we had kept Murray then he and CMS would have ripped teams another one. Under a manager different from Poyet .....

Anyway, congrats to the lad. Well done.

Ifs and buts. But what is for sure is we wouldn't have had this current season.....which I'm loving. I wouldn't have changed a thing.

Not Championship quality, especially top of Championship quality.

Poyet blew £2.5m of TB's money on that, whilst arrogantly refusing Muzza a pay rise.

CMS was/is by all accounts a lovely bloke, he always gave his best and good luck to him.

Interesting point. I wonder how CMS would have fared in this team under Chris Hughton?

Good luck to CMS, part of Albion history with his 21 goals.

 

[lawros left foot]

Congratulations to CMS, the scorer of one of my favourite Albion goals, the overhead kick against Burnley at Turf Moor.

 

[BensGrandad]

I think that he would have been successful as he has many of the attributes of Sam Baldock and with GM would have done well but for the serious injury he had.

 

[Biscuit Barrel]

His goal today looked like a cross to me. They all count though

 

[Westdene Seagull]

No.

Really He's certainly better at being a professional footballer than most of your colleagues are being professional railway people !

Actually, if we'd just kept Murray.......................................................
