Nothing like reading a reasoned argument ... then ignoring it and harping on about a statistic eh Nick? Let's take a good look at his record this season.
Kettering replay - pointless goal after how many missed sitters? Kettering away. Saved our blushes. Last league goal - 21st NOV! 2nd of 3 V Brighton 3rd V Grimsby in Tin Pot trophy 3rd of 4 V Yeovil - League 31st Oct 2 of 4 V Bristol Rovers away Extra Time winner V Norwich Only goal V Carlisle in 1-1 draw Last goal of 4 V Gillingham Winner V Colchester away 2nd of 3 V Tranmere WInner V Walsall So what does this tell us? Well Upto Norwich he was bloody important for us statistically, bagging us 7 points directly from his goals (Although I hope he sends the Norwich keeper a christmas card cos he did just about sweet FA for 85 mins uin that game). Other than Kettering away since, he's done nothing in front of goal of any huge importance. He's disappeared at Millwall (Again), Liverpool, Charlton (i.e. when we need him most) and scored 2 league goals since 31st Oct both in games that we won comfortably. More and more people are beginning to think "Hang on, he's not performing anymore. Why?" 25-30 goals last season or the season before ... Great, well done. What good is that to us NOW? That's a great one for the history books, but right now we need him working for the team AND doing what he's there for. He ain't doing the latter which is why people are starting to question him. You don't bag that many goals without having some talent, but why is he not turning up now? Has something happened behind the scenes? Has he been told he's staying here no matter what until the end of the season and basically taken his bat home? Has he realised no-one is actually going to come in for him? Whatever it is Nick, he has not performed for 2 months and that is why some of our fans are effectively saying "Well bollocks to you, you prima donna".
