zolton Posted December 4, 2010 Share Posted December 4, 2010 Carroll scored 17, Nolan 17, Lovenkrands 13 and Shola 10. Hardly a miss-firing forward line is it. If you read my posts you will see that I never denied late season improvement, I remember early season when you were slagging off Ameobi and hoping Best would bring you some goals, I did'nt rate our forwards and we scored one less goal than you, Nolan is a midfield player.

Huh? Shola started the season really well and nobody expected anything of Best. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
zolton Posted December 4, 2010 Share Posted December 4, 2010 I think the main point he was getting at was that our success was built upon the fact we were sound defensively. We won a lot of away games 1-0. Most of the goals were scored at home. Exactly, talk about rose tinted spectacles. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can assure you sir no one here has ever slagged off Ameobi or questioned Alan Smith's goalscoring record. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nolan is far more of a forward than a midfielder. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
zolton Posted December 4, 2010 Share Posted December 4, 2010 A good strike record in that division is someone like Kevin Phillips who scored 30 goals in our Championship winning season of 2007/8. Blimey, I'm hardly slagging anyone off here, I was originally making a point about relative team strengths and weaknesses and how we have moved on. Tetchy lot ar'nt you, must be nerves!

I pretty much agree with everything but this fella. First half of the season we weren't as clinical as the second half, but Shola was injured for the large parts of the season. If he had been able to stay injury-free I wouldn't be surprised if he had finished the season as our top scorer. He looks brilliant them first few games in front of goal.

He scored 22 that season. Also, he was far and away your top scorer that season with nobody else getting anywhere near. Ours were spread out between strikers that were rotated.

madras Posted December 5, 2010 Share Posted December 5, 2010 they have a bit pace and movement which could trouble us but i think it'll come down to centre mids. we have tiote and for me, hopefully barton, they go with dorrans and brunt i think, should be a good match up. we have nothing to fear and are capable of getting something......same goes for them though.

Segun Oluwaniyi Posted December 5, 2010 Share Posted December 5, 2010 Feel like we will lose this game. They troubled us last season. Obviously, both sides have improved a lot, but they have remained impressive when I've seen them this season at the higher level. Very decent team. I feel like we are due a close defeat anyway.

Mick Posted December 5, 2010 Share Posted December 5, 2010 I think we should have too much for them and if we have Barton and Tiote in the middle then we're more than a match for them in the area that should control the way that the game is played. I just hope that we go with two proper wingers to get at the fullbacks and don't give them space in front of Simpson, I'll go for a 1-2 score-line in our favour.

Taylor Swift Posted December 5, 2010 Share Posted December 5, 2010 Hi Toon fans, difficult one to call tomorrow, Carroll has really come on this season and given you a real threat which you lacked last season, our defense is much improved on last year, even though Ollson is out (you know you love him), I'm going to predict a draw, but in truth it could go either way, depends who gets the run and a bit of luck. Nice to see all three promoted teams giving it a go! Erm... I don't get the erm, your success last season was built on strong defence and a robust midfield, not your forward line, Carroll was not the same player and Leon Best was a panicky very average signing at best, we had a weaker defence, a better midfield and a very average forward line as well. Carroll has been excellent for you this season, I doubt many of you thought he would get an England call up last season. Carroll was excellent for the second half of last season and Lovenkrands scored loads of goals as well. To say that we have a "threat that we lacked last season" is ridiculous - we blitzed the league in the end and were scoring goals for fun after Christmas. I love this line Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
