Harrowram Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 I've been mighty impressed with how Forest have started, Assombarryscott has been absolutely excellent. BUT, I'll be interested to see what happens when they inevitable bad results come in, particularly if it's a string of bad results or if Assombashanelong gets injured. We were accused of having new manager syndrome during our good spell, but came through rough periods after the Leicester loss and the 4 match goal drought. Forest haven't proved they can bounce back yet, so the jury's still out. Why? According to the table they have played the bottom 4 teams out of 7. The only decent team played have been Derby whereby they drew at home! You must be a dog! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Papahet Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 If Assabalonga continues this form throughout the season they have themselves a bargain despite what people think. He is bound to go on a dry patch at some stage this season, where this to happen I struggle to see where the goals would come from. When Martin isn't scoring we still have the likes of Ward, Bryson and Hendrick. Who do Forest have? Fryatt? ...who's a crock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stoners Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 What the f*ck was parading Cohen's shirt during the game last night. He's got a knee injury, he ain't dead! You don't see our boys wearing t shirts with Save George's Knee on them do you? Chin up, get on with your rehab! Jesus wept... I agree Cringeworthy. He's injured ffs. I said the same thing last year when Mackie held his shirt aloft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Papahet Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 How many of those listed have scored ten or more at this level? Burke did in 2011/12 (13), not much since Antonio? Nope, granted he's had a good start but is likely to burn out Reid? Scored a handful in the league one season, but not many since and a liability with injury as shown already this season Paterson? 8 last season which isn't impressive considering the amount of league games (32) he featured. Looked a threat in the cup, but again nothing too impressive in the league. Look at Johnny Russell's injury record last season and the amount of action he missed, yet still provided us with more goals than Paterson funnily enough. So you'd expect all the above to step up and magically score goals all of a sudden, if Assabalonga were to either get injured, a suspension or a dip in form? Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daaave Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 He put 'no' to Antonio not being an attacking threat How can you take that post seriously I know I didn't To be fair he was talking goal threat not attacking threat. 1 in 5 man at Wednesday, could have a great season with you the way he has started but don't think it's unfair to argue he has not historically been a prolific goalscoring winger (edit: at this level ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What their doing this is not good for this argument. Anymore caveats? Dawkins??? Can't believe he brought up Dawkins. Although tbf he did have an excellent season in the goal shots charts for the San Diego thunder 49ers once Edit / Antonio is playing at 'this' level at the moment and he's got 5 goals and 5 assists. Not bad for a player who not a goal threat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Psycho Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 Couldn't give a toss who is scoring the goals, at the moment we have scored the most goals in the league, yes even more than the goalscoring gods that are playing for Derby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramsbottom Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 Now do the same for your lot? Not taking into account mickey MLS mouse league and Sunday league Scottish football Ha! I knew you'd ask that. With pleasure... Martin - 276 - 85 - 1 in 3 Russell - 214 - 69 - 1 in 3 Ward - 293 - 82 - 1 in 3.5 Bryson - 383 - 53 - 1 in 7 Dawkins - 102 - 19 - 1 in 5 Best - 248 - 62 - 1 in 4 So what if a lot of our players goals (well Russell's & Dawkins') goals were scored in inferior leagues? Out of the players you've mentioned only Reid and maybe Fryatt have proper top flight experience, if we're playing that game we'll chalk off a majority of Paterson's & Assombolongabingbang's goals as they were scored in League One.
