[Albion] How many goals will Bobby score?

[Bold Seagull]

I'm agreeing with the judges on this one...

Bobby is currently 7th in the list of all-time Albion scorers. If he gets 17, he'll move up to 2nd. 41 will put him top. 13 would see him overtake Peter Ward.

Show us the list FFS (pretty pretty please)

T Cook 123
K Napier 99
P Ward 95
B Stephens 94
A Mundy 90
B Zamora 83

Sixth?

 

[perseus]

31 games. 19 goals. That was Bobby Smith.

B Zamora 83

Thanks for that. It would be nice (albeit massively unlikely) if he scored 11 or even 12. No chance he will ever overtake the great Kit Napier

 

[Munkfish]

I'm going for 6, his first at Fulham away. Coming off the bench. The Cottage away end will be one of those great Albion Moments.

Bobby Farrell, super inside forward, number 7 1928-39, scored 84 goals in 430 appearances. That's according to my records, hopefully agrees to Tim Carder, but I'm not at home so can't cross-check.

Ah - the list I found had Farrell equal with BZ on 83. Either way, you'd hope he's soon past that mark

 

[hart's shirt]

Would he be taking the penalties?

If so, 12 would put him up with Peter Ward - a fitting honour.

Can you imagine the 2 of them ever playing alongside each other in their prime? *drools*

Either way, I'd certainly fancy our REMF team in the years to come....

12 1/2

Yes, I think we could safely say that the comeback was not a success if he didn't overtake Bobby Farrell one way or another.

Don't worry. He will. Be happy.

 

[Biscuit]

17. It's written in the stars.

Hmmmm - looks like secret code. Thinking either we're going to sign somebody called McFerrin, or maybe Bobby Farrell's name reminds you of Bobby McFerrin. Probably the latter. But don't you worry, I AM happy - I'm happy with most new signings - Buckley, Bennett, maybe even Spanish Dave would all be welcomed back by me, plus any speedy winger with a decent cross, of course. I suspect that wherever you're getting your Farrell data from excludes his goal in the FA Cup 1st round on 30 November 1929 against Peterborough & Fletton United - a game we won 4-0, of course. We beat Bournemouth & Boscombe Athletic 4-3 in a thriller at the Goldstone that season. Attendance 6,753.

Don't expect miracles. Just let Bobby be Bobby and see what happens.

 

[Don Quixote]

No more than 8.

What 40! Seems a tad optimistic.

 

[Finchley Seagull]

I think he might get to double figures. I know that seems a lot, given what he's scored in recent years, but he and the club will be lifted by his return and if he stays fit (and we can sign a couple of wingers to give him, Baldock and Hemed chances), I'm confident he'll score more than last season. You only have to look at that goal against West Brom to see he still has the quality.
