QuitYourJibbaJivin Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 i get what you are to trying to say and i agree but we should have a very attacking team on against birmingham I think/hope wel go back to the 4-4-2 thats seen us destroy so many teams at home this season. Maybe even the return of Jamie Ward? Hes got to be back soon surely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gcdcfc28 Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 All of them? Connor Sammon's hardly a 20 goal a season man. I don't know why Clough had a erection for so long over the prospect of him playing for dcfc. That 1.2 mill could have been spent on 2/3 other players who'd be just as good. Doyle? luckiest man in football, He only ever scores for the under 21's and thats only because He's up against kiddie winks. Tyson hasn't been a goal scorer since his Wycombe days Ball? Doing wonders at Coventry ain't He? Robinson is the only out and out goal scorer at the club, FACT! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe out of our main strikers, they have all scored goals...FACT.

Duracell Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 Robinson is the only out and out goal scorer at the club, FACT! No, that's an opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gcdcfc28 Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 Ok mate, who currently at the club looks like they can score 10 a season, based on current form. It's not an opinion, Robinson is the only one of our strikers who knows where the back of the net is. If he were to leave then I struggle to see where the goals would come from. Ward? Bennett? Or will clough get another loanee who scores the goals like giles sunu did? Oh wait... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doing wonders at Coventry ain't He? Robinson is the only out and out goal scorer at the club, FACT! Conor Sammon was never brought here to score goals. He's not playing well at the moment, but he isn't an out and goalscorer. When he's doing his job properly, he holds the ball up, brings other people in and is also capable of tracking back and defending. I've seen it with my own eyes this season in a couple of games. His start has been disappointing - but if you were expecting 20 goals out of him you're bound to be disappointed. I think he'll come good at what he's good at. You make a valid point about a lack of goalscorers though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gcdcfc28 Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 Steve Howard held the ball up whilst bringing others into play and frequently helped out the defence, he also didn't have a problem finding the back of the net.... Yet sammon can't score goals because he's simply holding the ball? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clough's been talking about bringing in a 20 goal a season striker for about 3 years now, the first time he actually spends a bit of money on a striker and you're telling me he paid £1.2 for a player to hold a ball up? No, that's just crazy talk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just think that he'll come good eventually, it's early days yet. He was unplayable against at Watford and had a good game against Blackpool, so we've seen glimpses of it.

No, that's just crazy talk. Robinson has 7 goals in November. What's to say he won't get 20? I'm not defending anyone here, I'm just saying Sammon isn't an out and out goalscorer, and I don't believe he was signed as such. That's clear by looking at his record. Has he proved he's worth £1.2m? Absolutely not, but after 16 games I'm not going to slate him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EastKentRam Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 Every striker at the club has poor ball control, im not really sure how they'll ever consistently be good with this major flaw in their game. They all offer something physically, but with the ball at their feet, they're all p*ss poor for professional footballers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jourdan Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 Lo[size=3]sing your leading goalscorer is never a welcome prospect and it would concern me if Robinson left. [/size] [size=3]For all his shortcomings, Theo scores goals at a more consistent rate than any of our other strikers so his value to the team shouldn't be underestimated.[/size] [size=3]He's not irreplaceable by any means but without significant investment or Tyson, Ward or Sammon taking the mantle, we'd soon start to feel his absence.[/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheron85 Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 I think Robinson's positioning is better than any of our other forwards... he seems to have that innate ability to find the right position in the box which none of our other strikers do... and he has pace... However... The rest of his game is WOEFUL... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even when we beat Blackpool 4-1 he was atrocious everytime the ball came to his feet.. It was a case of a poor first touch, no awareness around him, and run like a carthorse into the nearest defender.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
