The Poolie Bunker

...who score a lot of goals -- say 15 minimum -- regularly, without fail, season after season (let's say currently for a minimum of 5 seasons)?






Question 2: how many can you name at this level?







Question 3: how many can you name at this level who are available?

Chip, none of those players you mentioned except for Tommy Mooney have regularly got anywhere near the 15 goals a season that our second string striker and No.1 attacking midfileder both got in 2004/2005.
And if your leading scorer doesn't get 15 goals you're not going very far.
If we want a guaranteed goalscorer (1 goal every 3 games CURRENTLY and REPEATEDLY), there are not that many who fit the bill. Luke Beckett and Thierry Henry perhaps.

Neither Proctor nor Daly are really cutting it but we're talking about a guaranteed goalscorer here.

Joachim's best season ever, in the whole of his career, yielded 19 goals. The other seasons bar one earlier in his career were rubbish. By my reckoning one good scoring season every five or six years makes him as good as Kevin Henderson.
Yes he's as good a bet as anyone else we could have gone for but he's no guarantee of a scoring avalanche.

The point I'm making is whoever we bring in will be a gamble, or would have been if we'd paid up front.



And I think you'll find they haven't. That depends on what you call regularly of course.

We need an established player in the Gordon Watson mold, that can make things happen in and around the box, not the mythical 20-25 goals a season merchant. It's this type of player that can score and also create chances for other people. IMO we do have players at this club that could score between 10 and 15 a season given the opportunity. We are too predictable in the final third.

In any case, Mr Fireball, you're right in that I'd rather see Wilson go for a player in the Joachim mould than the kind of random youngsters Scotty brought here.

But if he did brought someone in (on loan obviously) who looked good on paper yet didn't deliver the goods, who would get the flack? Wilson or the loanee?

Mr Porter seems to have been stung into action eh?

Mickey Barron was doing the summarising on the Pools World commentary.
According to him, Joel said he couldn't argue about being dropped if he wasn't doing his job of scoring goals. He swore that next time he was on the pitch he'd be doing his utmost to put that right.
He wasn't kidding. Well done Jojo.
As I said, I think we'll settle down to using Brown and Porter as our main two and Daly coming on as sub, with Foley getting slowly blooded and Proctor at Grimsby or somewhere!

i'm sorry, but.......Jojo????!!!!

Get back!

Carl Dale at Cardiff always scored a few, even when they were sh-ite

Chris Greenacre??
