JH Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 He created the second goal himself tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldtype Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Should be first choice (pending any further arrivals). Travesty that he hasn't been so far. For the record, Shola does seem to help out the defense a lot more than Best. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEEJ Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 He was shocking first half today. But he was brilliant second half. That second goal was magic! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PM Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Great reaction for the first, superb spin and strike for the second. Well done. Stay onside though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 His second goal was absolutely sublime tbf, his first touch was perfection. No reason at all why he shouldn't start from now on, even if we get someone else in i'd prefer him over Ba. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Si Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 First touch to make the second goal was special, would like to see him and Ba starting next game and see if they can pick up from where they left off today. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dokko Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Second goal was quality, from obertans run, to Ba's pass, bests control and neat finish, all brilliant. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Si Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 A Rolls Royce strike team like Ba & Best are hardly gonna be pumped for Scunny Seriously though give em games together and the goals will come. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geordie Ahmed Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Best in not shit, what are some people on? Alan Smith is shit, Lovenkrands is shit Best does not just score goals, his all round game is good, I used to think he was average BUT that run he had in the side from the West Ham game onwards showed there is much more to his game He is very good in the air, he beat Haangeland a fair few times, he has quick feet and is quite strong Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cajun Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 How long would he need to keep.this sort of form up until we can feel comfortable that he is a good player? I have to say, despite bigging up his performances last season there was a concern it could be a purple patch (he had similar at Coventry didn't he?). This start to the season although still early days have given me a little confident. Still think Ba is our best forward by some distance but if Best is still putting them away by new year are we going to accept we do have a reliable, quality player with a genuine shout to be a first choice striker?

Klaus Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Didnt have a great first half, but a great poacher's goal and a smart turn and finish for his second. Hope he keeps his place and im sure there will be more to come as long as he gets decent service, which was probably why he didnt have much inpact first half...

Hanshithispantz Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 People still seem unconvinced because he was utter turd in the Championship it seems, like all strikers he has a tendancy to do little throughout games (although he is pretty mobile and good at taking the ball down from the air). His goal record since Wham cannot be ignored though, and best of all about half of those have been clinical. He might be a confidence striker like, can see his composure dropping a bit if he hits a rocky patch. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cajun Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Michael Owen was awful for 80 minutes in a lot of games he played. He scored lots of goals and won games though. I remember that West Ham hattrick and despite the goals Owen was shocking, did we care? If Best is awful for 45 minutes but wins us lots of games is he a bad player? Sorry, meant league start btw.
