Same as a Center half primary job is to clear danger. Goalkeeper primary job is to make a big save. Who cares about his “performance” he is not a playmaker, he has done his main job put one in the net. It’s all about goals for strikers. Who cares about “works hard, good pro, doesn’t score” type strikers? My most hated category of player, non-scoring strikers. The boy does **** all except score?

OTT Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 I want the lad to go on and prove everybody wrong. He had bags of potential but much like every other scottish striker he's stumbled when its came time to realise that potential. At.. what 23? he's still got time on his side and could easily be on for a decent move in 2 seasons time (provided he makes the step up).

Flops We have followed the sammon and watt “failed at a higher level” non-scorer formula again with Washington on paper. And again we’ve passed on an in-form goalscorer from a lower level. Fingers crossed Washington will get his head right and get himself amongst the goals as we all know, that’s what strikers are judged by. Today he was anonymous whereas Shankland is on the scoresheet. That is all that matters in the mind of the true predatory striker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
