Also, if you don't include any of the games he scored in he's crap. Get rid.Very knee-jerk opinions on here as usual.
5 games ago we knew our season was effectively over, since then we have played fairly gung-ho football. Our average goals a game has shot up. Naturally our main striker has had the share of them, 7 in 5 games.
In the last 5 games we've scored 12 goals, the 5 before that were crucial matches we scored 6, the 5 before that 6 again. You get the point.
Furthermore, 5 games ago he was on 8 goals for the season and being labelled a poor signing. During that crucial period where we fell away he scored 3 in 8 games.
Essentially, this is what the youngsters might refer to as stat padding.
If he starts next season in a similar vein when the games count for something, and the team talk isn't 'seasons over go have a bit of fun and score a few goals lads', it might be a different conversation.
No one should be getting plaudits at this stage, anyone can perform when the pressures off. The team, manager and ownership can't be given that luxury. The pressures on to recruit better and perform better next season. The last five games are meaningless in every respect.
Thank you for helping me see the light.
