Play 256 mins for them so basically not a lot of time to impress

He also scored about 1 in 3 at Bristol City and over 15 in Turkey.

Lies damn lies and statistics? Funny
How easy it is to manipulate them to look bad rather than take the whole picture in context...

Spot on.

Some people were waiting for us to sign nobody so that they could moan about it. Now we have signed players, they need to try and put a negative spin on it.

Not putting a negative spin on it that’s his stats I hope he scores lots of goals for and moves up the table starting at Watford tomorrow if he’s available I’ll be there cheering him and the rest of the team on

Exactly. The sad thing is that I genuinely believe that one or two are hoping that they fail. Sad really.

Probably in minority but I much prefer him to km based on his previous championship showing ...as I think he's more suited us given our new signings and returning Rambo.

Sometimes players lose their way a bit.Glatzel struggle here for goals but no=one doubted his ability. Then he moved on and scored regularly for his next team. Grant struggled at WBA and you would struggle to find one of their fans with a good word to say about him yet here for us he's in the running for player of the season.This new fella is a bit of a gamble but deserves his chance on his overall record and not just some of it.

C'mon sneggy you know some wouldn't give a player a chance if he's not the one they wanted.

His best form is in the championship, horses for courses.

Bobby Glatzel didn't adapt to championship football (or our version of it) popped back home to his level and took off from where he left off, hopefully, Famara can as well.

All i know is we need a 9 who can hold onto the ball and give it to an oncoming player to set up attacks, its a lottery if any of the starters this season retained the ball and it saps the confidence of the team.

Jules, you're giving them way too much credit for actually 'knowing' what they want...

It's mostly a 'smoke screen' to hide their engrained negativity... :roll:

That is LITERALLY what you did.

He has averaged about 15 mins a game or less than three 90 mins if you add up all his minutes.

Just had a look at some of his goals and - wow! Many Championship defences will find him hard to deal with. BUT - we must give him the service he thrives on.
