bringonthesevco Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 So obviously we all hoped one of our new strikers would be banging them in , however, it looks like they could all fall into the "more to his game than scoring goals" category .... So after 7 league games and 1 LC match our striker position is . Watt and Sammon 1 goal each Johnsen and Muirhead 0 goals each So who'll come out top in the "first to 2 goals" race ???

kila Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 If Watt elects to shoot instead of twisting, turning and taking too many folk on while drifting wide of the box then he'll be the first to two Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Beni of Gorgie Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 Walker Nicholson Cowie Paterson all have 2 or more. Anyone can score, not rightly fussed who as long as we do. Team game sometimes the strikers tee them up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo Bill Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 European goals are considered as part of a player's tally for the season so Sammon is on two. I like Sammon and rate him as a good team player but neither he nor Watt are goal-poachers. Watt seems very keen to go deep and try and create rather than play on the shoulder of the last defender. It will probably turn out that we'll get a spread of goals this season with the likes of Walker, Djoum and Sam Nic chipping in with a few; as well as Paterson and Rossi fom set plays. One thing I would add is that I've liked the look of Muirhead and I'd like to see him get a bit more game time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whilst I'm glad that Sammon has improved/settled and is holding the ball up well, he has had several really good chances to score and fluffed his lines. Agree about Muirhead. Always looks hungry to impress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am in the only one who isn't that impressed with muirhead? Looked ok, hardy impressive tho, imo he fluffed his big chance to score v Celtic when he fell over when through on the keeper, ball bounced perfectly for a left footer and he fell over. Looked keen, been ok but I'm not seeing how he is better than watt or Sammon in his, admittedly limited appearances. Seems to have really impressed some, why?

The problem with fringe players and several fall into this category is that they need a run of games to get fully fit and to gel with their team-mates. Very few players can come on as a sub and make a genuine impact and unless Muirhead is to get a run of games from the start I don't think he will improve. Robbie had confidence ion Souttar and played him even when he was making mistakes and look how well he has progressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Debut 4 Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 I'm very much in the camp that believes in having numerous goal threats within the team but you still expect the main forwards to contribute well. They play in the most likely and dangerous area of the park to produce goals. You have to start asking questions sooner or later if they continue to draw blanks. When Hartley and Skacel or McCann and Flogel grabbed a handsome amount of goals in their respective sides it was good forward play and intelligence as much as their own desire that brought the goals. But the forwards then still chipped in. There's plenty time yet this season and it can turn around quickly but hopefully soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
