Ambitious Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 Was talking about Sammons goal today... brilliance or lucky? I'm a big fan of Sammon, I like his style of play as a striker - however, I would never class him as 'tactful' more of a player who will put his body through anything and move. His goal against Leeds I can't work out... First of all, the run off the ball - was fantastic left the defender caught in no-mans land. His first touch to let it run through his legs is absolutely class watching it again... really, well done. The shimmy to beat his man, and get his shot away... again, first class. Now for the controversial shout, the actual shot... did he slip or did he simply throw Paddy Kenny off and placed it? if it's the latter, such a clever goal. I think he'll now start scoring more, certainly looks a lot more upbeat about his chances and scoring is an art of being confident infront of goal, any owd turnip can swing a leg at a ball, but the bold movement off the ball, and the decisive touches in the box is the the difference... and if the finish was 'meant' then, it shows incredible composure and intelligence infront of goal. A few times we've seen him this season, either half a second to late to a ball in the box or trying to get a shot away early and just losing out. Anyway, feed the fish.

A car load were at Derby-Leeds then made the Wolves-Brum game on saturday..didn't they YoungUttoxRam? No excuse baggie boy! I'll say it is a possibility 'http://www.dcfcfans.co.uk/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=';)' /> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll admit he done well up until the shot, actually surprised me with what he done before the shot. But the finish, was never in a million year, anything more than a scuff that if Kenny had stayed still he would have saved comfortably. If anyone thinks he deliberately put it straight down the middle, anticipating Kenny would dive to his right, they're very much deluded. Sammon done ok Saturday, should have scored more than one, but he done alright. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duracell Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 Sammon's shot for the goal was one of the worst things he did all game. Hughes and Sammon had their best games in a Derby shirt on Saturday, and that was the difference between us and Leeds. Says a lot about the value of both players to the team.

ramsbottom Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 Definitely not intended. Not taking anything away from him as he did really well to create the opening in the first place but he fell over. One thing about him that has surprised me is how quick he is over 20-30 yeards. Don't get me wrong he'll never beat Theo or Wardy in a race but for a big, bulky bloke he's surprisingly nippy... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCFCfranco Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 Does it really matter if he meant it or not? He scored and that's all that matters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the match I said he had definitely scuffed it. Watching it again on the FLS it was not scuffed. Like you said it was either a very intelligent goal or just quite possibly the worst shot ever!

The Fish himself was quoted on the official site saying Meanwhile, the 26-year-old admits his fifth goal of the campaign was not the cleanest of strikes, but Sammon says he is just happy to see the ball hit the back of the net, in whatever way it comes. He added: “I haven’t hit it as cleanly as I would have liked, but fortunately it has wrong footed the goalkeeper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EastKentRam Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 I dont think many strikers in the world are rolling it straight down the middle anticipating the keeper dives out the way, not in a situation like that any way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddie Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 I really don't care, and I'm surprised so many seem to. The best moment of the game against the Dirties came after Will tore through their defence leaving man after man in his wake - and then he pulled the trigger, hit it right out of the screws and Paddy Kenny saved it. Any shot on target has a chance of going in, and by and large that's all a striker concentrates on. If he catches it flush, it can be saved - equally if he hits it with a stick of celery like Sammon did, it can make the keeper look like a fool and end up in the onion bag. Job done.
