Does his goal against Southend not count as a goal then? Stop the press! We only won 1-0 at Southend. :thud:

Obviously! On that note Forster hasn't scored in 5 leagues games, if we ignore the goals against Crewe, Brizzle and Southend;)

Infact, Bobby Zamora never scored a league goal for us if you discount every single league game he ever scored in. Tottenham are mugs for buying him for £1.5m.

He's a quality player, but you have to play to his strengths or he looks shit. So, you've got to get to the byline and put crosses on his head. We DON'T do that. Or, play low passes into his feet for him to use his skill in the box. We DON'T do that either. So, as a result, he looks poor. Granted today he didn't put the effort in, but usually the faults are with the team and not him.


Agreed.
Yet in a game in which he was poor he still lokked the most likely to score a goal.
I think he is a quality player that is suffering from the crap midfield we have.
Sadly I think he will be driven from the club by a bunch of muppets who will then watch him score loads of goals for another club before moaning at the management for selling him.

TOILET Service = No Goals

Poor Murray, he has no hope in hell of scoring a goal if every ball is going to fly over his head the whole game.
Or if the fans jeer him.

f***ing hell, this club has one of the most fickle fans.

Manthorpe I'm completely staggered by you posting this today

yes quite a few games he has played in you could've said this and had a valid point but however today the service was lacking and what half chances he got at least went goalwards

but for me the team played without belief today , where is that passion they have shown in previous games on the road when we've needed it?

Withdean Wanderer - f***ing hypocritical ****

Why? I'll slate people when they're bad, and i'll give evidence.

But let's look at your first post.

Absolute shit! he is shocking.. he can't turn any defenders, he's really slow and has no accuracy with his headers. Worst 300,000 quid ever spent. He is so over rated and fails to perform on most occasions, but suddenly becomes an albion great if he scores a goal, which infact is what he gets paid to do. 4 league games and no goal.

Murray out!

1) "Absolute shit" "he is shocking" - 9 goals last season and 1 this season, combined with 10 goals for Rochdale last season would suggest otherwise.

2) He can't turn any defenders - watch his first touch, watch goal against Cheltenham last season, against Southend this season. He CAN turn defenders, DOES turn defenders, and certainly does it with a bit more unpredictability than Forster.

3) He's really slow - can't really disagree there, but can point out that WORLD CLASS players like Cantona, Bergkamp and Zola were also slow.

4) Worst 300k ever spent - Juan Sebastian Veron, Dean Richards, Massimo Maccarone, Ade Akinbiyi...i can't be arsed to continue

4) Overrated? Not really, sensible people can see though that if we have wingers capable of putting balls into the box he'll score.

5) Fails to perform on most occassions...but scored 9 last year, has scored 1 this year and set up three

6) Suddenly becomes an Albion great? Not really, certainly when half the stand is made up of dribblers like you slating him and will come up with shit like 'forster is better' even when he does score.

7) 4 league games and no goal. Correct me if i'm wrong (which i'm not), but it's only been 3 games since he scored.

8) A general summary - you're an ignorant MUPPET. And that's being polite. :thumbsup:

Where are these jeering fans exactly? Are they in the North stand because from my position in the H block I never hear fans jeering him, just the usual groans when he does something wrong, much like with every other player at every other club.
Jeering and groaning are two very different things.

Evidence that Jake Manthorpee can be filed under clueless.

We are not going to get the best out of Murray if we continually smack balls at his chest and with a lack of support to play off. He had two or three men on him and no-one to pass to. What is he supposed to do?

a little bit of competition wouldnt go amiss - not at the expense of a midfield though

Well, today his second touch was always a tackle. Just couldnt seem to bring the ball under control today, and seems to want far far too long on the ball before picking a pass. Also missed two one on ones. A bad patch I hope.
