climbon Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 I think bamford was exactly who we needed on 75 min yesterday...something different, not afraid to shoot and can score when it looks for all the world that we won't Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anag Ram Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 I heard a few fans say Bamford should have come on earlier. However, Ward looked the most likely to create something before he went off. I think Bamford was probably being saved for extra-time when he would have had 30 minutes to prove himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-JW- Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 Bamford's just tweeted his goodbyes, that just leaves Thorne now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TopRam Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 Any one else think that the players meeting might be now? Like Steve's already spoke to Liverpool and Chelsea? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Srg Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 I think he (or Evans) will have discussed both possibilities long before today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L_J_DCFC Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 Have a feeling Thorne wants to stay. You can tell he has feelings for the club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

climbon Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 Scored some great goals. A bit wasted on the wing but could never displace Martin. Was screaming for him on 80min at Wembley. Good luck to him...nice chap for someone who started at Forest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord_Ram Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 yup, i was desperate to see him come on after the hour mark... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
To_Tell_The_Truth Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 Personally I think there is a blinkered view of Bamford's contribution during his time with us. Maybe this will help and is based on the time that Bamford joined us (06/01/14). Martin: starts 22 played1895 mins scored 6 goals from open play, 2 pens, 1 free kick. Ward: starts 13 played 1057 mins scored 0 goals Russell: starts 14 played 1163 mins scored 4 goals from open play Dawkins: starts 8 played 669 mins scored 1 goal Bamford: starts 14 played 1271 mins scored 8 goals from open play. You can do the maths to see the comparison between goals scored per minutes played. Do you still think Bamford should be selected behind other choices? Was Bamford ever played in his correct position? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YorkshireRam Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 Not a fan of Bamford! Me neither, he's a good finisher, granted but his overall play on the ball is well below par. Not too fussed if we don't sign him. However, he is playing out of position most of the time so depending on the price he might be worth going in for as an alternative option upfront. I wouldn't pay over 1 mil for him though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd have him back though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I 100% he is a great finisher but thats about it. We should try and find a new striker I think. But I can't see him playing for Chelsea so who knows!

Gary Teale Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 I'm amazed people don't want him back, the lad can score goals, that's the hard bit when playing football. We are going to get a lot of teams Parking the bus next year and defending deep as dare I say it QPR did. Let's be honest if he had his record with us, ran around like salmon and linked the play up like Martin he would be walking into a prem side Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bris Vegas Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 Problem with Bamford is he's not a target man and he's not a wide striker. He is played out of position here, and we're not going to change to a 4-4-2 just to fit Bamford because that's not the correct thing to do - plus he's not good enough to change a whole system over. I don't think he ever seemed that happy here, probably because he was forever played out of position Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mafiabob Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 Would have him back in a heartbeat.... Scores goals, doesn't work hard to achieve this. You don't need to be hustle and bustle and chase down defenders to be good. Strikers that score goals are more important than workrate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddie Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 He's also a kid and still learning. Where better to be in order to improve than under the wing of one of the game's finest coaches? I wish Ben Pringle was still here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
