Ambitious Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 So two goal scoring strikers is a no go? As I said, if I was in charge I would start it for a few games... We haven't go anything to lose and when we lose a couple the fans will inevitably be asking for Sammon back in the starting line up. It's a bit **** up, but at the minute the fans won't appreciate what Sammon does unless we show what the alternative is, if that means writing a couple of games off as an experiment then so be it. Also, I could be wrong - and Robinson and Ward might be fantastic together, although I doubt it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TroyDyer Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 If Varney can't hit a barn door, I dread to think if Sammon can even hit the farm. 40 goals in 214 performances, including the Irish & Scottish Micky Mouse leagues. Wow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCFCfranco Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 Already said we won't know how good sammon is until he misses a few games. Apparently I was wrong to think that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TroyDyer Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 In his defence, we're talking English football though. And in that, he's faired rather well. A staggering 7 goals in 64 games. How did we back him for anything less than 5 million?! Bargain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mary Hindge Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 Frank Fielding has let 18 goals in this season, Adam Legzdins has let in 35 goals this season yet this bloody Nigel keeps on playing the keeper who has let the most goals in play!!! Numbers / Stats mean fook all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcnram Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 Strangely, people involved with football on the inside seem to appreciate what Sammon brings to a team. Some who have never played the game at any meaningful level just watch a ball without the slightest inkling of what else happens on the pitch.

Numbers / Stats mean fook all ...numbers and stats mean "fook all" when you have no idea what you're doing. It's like letting a baby drive a car. Just because they can't drive it doesn't mean that it's worthless. Here's an example: Fielding: 18 conceded in 10 games (1.80 per game) Legzdins: 36 conceded in 26 games (1.38 per game) ...

Some who have never played the game at any meaningful level just watch a ball without the slightest inkling of what else happens on the pitch. I agree. Lot's of Rams fans failed to see the value in players like Jon Stead (when we had him loan) and David Jones (people concerned he was lightweight). People laughed when we signed Kuqi, but others knew what he would bring to the team. Sammon will fit in to the Eddie Lewis category for me. Cannot fault him as a professional. Wish many other players had his endeavour and integrity, however, whatever he has in effort and effervescence, he lacks in skill and ability. Perhaps he's another Porter, but without the finishing ability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh well, these things happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alph Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 I don't judge Sammon on goals. He's still crap. 'Challenging' a defender for a ball 100 times and losing possession 99 times isn't good work going unnoticed. For less money I can do all that. His first touch is very poor. He's not great in the air He's indecisive and inconsistent on the rare occasions he actually has GOT the ball. Booing him is bang out of order though. Shouting "Theo, Theo" is just as bad considering how much stick I hear him get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
top 6 finish Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 Has anyone else noticed a section of the crowd shouting "shoot" wherever Sammon gets the ball?thats worse than booing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mostyn6 Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 Has anyone else noticed a section of the crowd shouting "shoot" wherever Sammon gets the ball?thats worse than booing. a few of the crowd just shout 'shoot' whenever within 40 yards, regardless of who has the ball.

Derbiean Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 Sammon was poor last night however whenever he received the ball Bolton were all over him, he's also not getting the breaks, that time he actually held off Knight and got through on goal the referee said it was a foul 'http://www.dcfcfans.co.uk/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/huh' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':huh:' /> Some of the fans treatment of him was shameful in my opinion especially those who got on his back from the first minute.

Ambitious Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 As I said - play Theo ahead of Sammon for a bit... It wouldn't be long until fans are asking for him back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boycie Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 Opposition players are normally all over Sammon when he receives the ball, because, he has to run after it after attempting to control it. Normally towards the opposing players. He takes the fight to them I guess you could say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derbiean Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 I'm talking about Bolton last night, Sammon very rarely got any amount of time and space, only 2 moments stick out in my memory when he actually had some room, the one i already mentioned and one very unfortunate moment where despite having a free header he misjudged the flight of the ball and missed it leading one guy behind me to exclaim "even with a free header he can't ******* win it!" Made me chuckle i'll admit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davenportram Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 Has anyone else noticed a section of the crowd shouting "shoot" wherever Sammon gets the ball?thats worse than booing. one guy next to me shouted shoot at Wardy When he did shoot he shouted "what you doing on your weak foot from 25 yards" i felt like pointing out what a,**** he had been shouting shoot and then shouting ward was wrong to shoot - let alone that if it was 25 yards out the penalty box had grown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
