Agree with you Ian. Mills is the worst in my view because as captain he should be setting an example. The only example he sets is a poor one. He needs to grow up.

He is GROWING up, one day at a time.

pea Snowball, your list of if only's doesn't name any player more than three times.

It was, and I said it was, a very incomplete list.

Long misses a one on one or a free header every game.

No he doesn't

cmonurz If Gylfi is a wasteful player, what is the definition of a player who scores 1 in 34 attempts on goal?

A Gylfi

You don't expect Sigurdsson, our set piece taker and player who scored a good number of long range free kicks, to score with the same ratio as Shane Long when his shots were, on the whole, taken a lot further out? A 28% conversion rate for shots on target, the majority of which were mainly outside ...

You don't expect Sigurdsson, our set piece taker and player who scored a good number of long range free kicks, . A good number? THREE, all about 22 yards to score with the same ratio as Shane Long when his shots were, on the whole, taken a lot further out? A 28% conversion rate for shots on target,...

Comparing Doyle's Shooting-Goals-Games to Long Actual Figures then Percentages Doyle ON OFF Goal Year 51 37 19 2005-06 24 21 13 2006-07 26 41 06 2007-08 43 31 18 2008-09 144 130 56 Doyle played 145 (17) = 148 Games so you can see he did not average two shots/headers per game. (1.85 chances pg) LONG...

Snowball, In 100 pages or so you have given us your version of Shane's life story ever since he came to our club and occasionally bits about his achievements in the old country. However I don't think I have read anywhere whether you actually think he is any good. Most of us on here see him as yet a...

Up to the end of last season Long was 29 goals (2 pens) so 27 in 6,885 minutes, 1 goal every 255 minutes. What about up to now? Why stop last May? BECAUSE, Dearest, this run this season is extreme and distorts the truth. I HAVE however, already posted the figures INCLUDING the current run and EXCLU...

WITHOUT PENALTIES 2,609 minutes = 13 goals Gylfi 2009-10 1 goal every 201 minutes (includes free-kicks) 2,609 minutes = 10 goals Gylfi 2009-10 1 goal every 261 minutes (open play) 2,686 minutes = 11 goals Long 2005-08 1 goal every 244 minutes (open play) 4,549 minutes = 19 goals Long 2005-09 1 goal...

I couldn't give a rats arse what Sig's accuracy or goals to shot ratio was. He scored a lorry load full of goals for us. Something Long has never done in his time for us, despite being a striker, not a midfielder and having multiple Premier League & Championship seasons experience. As usual, Mi...

Your point was to try and say how well Long had done in only having 15 shots off target - if you like we'll make it more stat-friendly and remove the number of games played and base it on a per-game basis - even then practically every player (Hunt excluded) has a lower number of shots off target pe...

19 ON 15 Off. So he's averaging a shot on target per game, a little less than a miss per game :lol: he's managing to get a mere single shot on target each game? F*ck me, that is even more woeful than I expected. Guys, how many chances do you think strikers actually GET? Here is Doyle's last season....

Hunt has hardly set the world alight down here and I doubt Rooney would be any better.

13 Goals in his first season in 29 (10) playing 60 minutes most starts. That's pretty good

Gylfi was shooting all the time in 38 (5) games he had 131 shots to get his 20 goals, about 3.6 shots per game but remember he was taking all the penalties (9 taken, 8 scored) Take those out 122 shots, about 3 per game, and he scored 12 goals (3 of which were FCs) So he was scoring 1 in 10 shots . T...

According to the OS Long has had 56% of his shots on target, this season (compared with Gylfi's 27%) In the whole season he has only had 15 shots off target, less than 1 a game. If we're going to have statistics we could at least have standardised statistics please. If you're giving statistics comp...

Gylfi has got 5 goals but we have to ignore two of them as they were penalties. Incidentally, they must be playing him in a totally different way This season for us he was 03 On target 08 OFF Target Last season he was 71 On Target 60 Off [38 (05) Appearances] He was converting 28% of his on-target s...
