Show me the Hemed goals from open play NINE games into the season? Oh, sorry, I forgot, 'he holds the ball up well'. Same excuse we used to make for COG til it got WAY beyond embarrassing.

To be fair you must know more than the management team so i trust your judgement. We all know we are a top quality striker short, Like we was last year. But don't think Hemed is as bad as you say. Feel free to show me videos of miss after miss of hemed if you like?

I'd LOVE to agree with you [MENTION=457]sheebo[/MENTION] cos you're a genuine good guy. But sad to say that Hemed's feet are RUBBISH for a big man striker. 17 goals last season, of which 5 were penalties and 5 were with his head. Like I say he's not a lot better than COG 2.0. Soon as Baldock has been crucified and fenelon'ed, you'll all be thinking about Hemed next season what I'm already thinking this season.

All about opinions bro - don't agree tho. I mean his feet in open play - nothing to do with goals :)

We have the strike force that we have until at least January, so might as well get behind them, instead of this pointless whining.

3rd in the table at the moment is not disastrous.

I do wish people wouldn't JUST judge strikers on goals. Yes it's a big part of a strikers' game but it's not EVERYTHING is it... Baldock was good last season for the team - doesn't score enough, we all know that, but does contribute a lot still.

I agree. I thought Baldock was class last season in most games. Yes didn't score enough but didn't seem to remember him missing sitter after sitter.

I think you're confusing a t'internet message board with the real world.

I don't hear any pointless whinging on Saturday.

Silly old bat
Just keep quoting that 17 goals thing (incl. 5 from penalties) from last season. It's his career highlight at this level. He won't get better.

So 12 goals from open play then? I reckon he will get better. He's an international player, after all.

Btw, you have a faulty memory as we didn't flog Murray. He refused to sign our contract offer, so was a free agent.

This. I actually find Hemed quite difficult to pin down, because he has a lot of qualities: good feet, silky touches, pretty good at holding the ball up, good in the air, good team worker. He is pretty slow though, and I do accept that Murray is the better finisher. And we do need another striker.

Agree with every bit of your analyses - glad it's not just me who can see Hemed's qualities :)

With no shots on target was last night an off night or a sneak peek of things to come?
