Ronaldo Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 One improved us, one didn't. It's pointless, though. Shearer's not a manager. Never will be. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomson Mouse Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 Tbf no one expected Carroll to do what he did so there's every chance Mitrovitch could do it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geordie Ahmed Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 Tbf no one expected Carroll to do what he did so there's every chance Mitrovitch could do it. Exactly, loads of people thought Carroll was awful and had no chance of making it Mitrovic has at least scored goals in the Premier League and had chances to score a few more I have no doubts he will score goals in The Championship BUT I don't want us to rely on him, need to get at the least a proven goalscorer in and have Mitrovic with Armstrong as support Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest firetotheworks Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 Yeah it did. He was pretty poor at the start of The Championship season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wullie Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 Yeah it did. He was pretty poor at the start of The Championship season. Everything suddenly seemed to click for him after he scored twice against WBA in the cup. Remember when he came on against Man City at home and was a complete waste of time, everybody was absolutely foaming with him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronaldo Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 Carroll had scored goals in the PL too, by the way. If there's one player I totally misjudged it was him. Thought he looked absolutely awful in the first half of the Championship season and wrote him off. He's mostly been brilliant (when fit) ever since.

Wullie Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 Some of the posts from that match thread, including one from me: just one negative to mention, Carroll, that was fucking embarassing, i could teach a monkey to run at a man in possesion of a football, he never moved his arse once. if he thinks that the only job he needed to do was get on the end of long balls then he shouldnt be anywhere near a football team. Carroll Utter shite. Shola might be shite but when you put him up against Carroll, he looks like Shearer reincarnate. Carroll is useless. Jogs around, does nothing, can't head the ball. Geez Carroll is making me want to have Ameobi back, which is quite something I have a better touch than Carroll - hes awful. Carroll is absolute wank btw. He was shocking like.

Wullie Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 Carroll had scored goals in the PL too, by the way. Equalised at Stoke late in the relegation season, think he'd scored against West Ham as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 Carroll was one of those I was unsure of tbh. While he looked like he had two left feet when he was running with the ball I can remember he scored a pretty smart finish where he cracked a left footer low into the corner of the net. I haven't seen that from Mitro at all. He's decent as a target man, but he looks like a player who is more comfortable with his back to goal. Too early to write him off, but we shouldn't be relying on him for goals if we want promotion first time of asking next season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liverpool when we put three past them, I even did a pic in the 'Football in Paint' thread on it That was the game where Pardew took all the credit for Hughton's work wasn't it? Now the stupid cunt is trying to talk up Dwight Gayle after ignoring him for most of the season in favour of Connor Whickam. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest firetotheworks Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 As good as he was in the Championship, I was still really dubious about him until we were promoted because despite his quality, he's really not my type of player. He is now though because he made his style of play just so enjoyable to watch. Watching him batter centre halves all over and be ridiculously dominant in the air was just an absolute joy. The moment for me was that header from a free kick against Wolves, I think I described it at the time as being a header that would get a lass pregnant, and it really was, we all fucking loved him in that season.

So maybe it was a confidence thing, maybe it was right place/time or down to the players around him. None of us know but I've seen enough Mitrovich to think there's the possibility of the same thing happening to him. I doubt Carroll would have made it through had we been in the PL.

Superior Acuña Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 I miss how when he played for us and we scored away from home in the relative silence, if he was in/around the box you'd often hear Shearer's YEEEAAHHH - often when it was someone else who'd scored. (e.g. I think it's that you can hear on the first and second when we won 3-1 at Highbury) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
