He can't be far off He has scored 6 as has bobby, but 2 of fams goals have been in cup while only one of bobbys have. So no don't think he is leagues top scorer. not sure about all competitions though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whale Eye Beef Hooked Posted September 30, 2017 Report Share Posted September 30, 2017 I find it amusing, so many clueless people can't see that it takes at least 3 months to settle into a new team especially in a different country , most of us could see he was a good player. I think people play too much football manager and FIFA and forget about the real life Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose part of me decided to write it at half time because I'm hoping it might come back to bite me on the arse. However, I'm into watching my third or forth game this season and I've seen Fammy do nothing. Nothing at all. It's almost like we're playing with ten. Now I know it's going to take time for him to adapt to the Chamionship, but we can't just keep playing with essentially 10 men. Someone else has got to have a go at starting. He isn't effecting the game at all. He's not doing the running that Taylor does, or being a big lump like Đurić (I do accept they're both injured!). So he big question is... a storming second half versus Reading aside, when will LJ have the balls to rest him? This thread has to go down in fokelore. The thing is fammy is worth ten times what Matt Smith is now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd never have thought of moving to a self congratulatory position but you're setting an example for many to follow..... Posters never hated "little" Lee or wanted him out - they were just giving him some tough love and encouragement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never seen him look so fit, as he is usually knackered after an hour or so. But today he was still sprinting in inury time. His hold up play was superb, won plenty of headers again, just like the Bolton game. And no doubt he has plenty of pace. I hated reading posts about him being useless etc. Got to give these players a chance. He has adapted quicker than I thought he would. Great signing. I guess it's because historically we haven't made that many big name signings from abroad and people are still learning that sometimes they don't adapt immediately. In recent years when we've made big signings (Trundle, Maynard, Baldock) that were all domestic - they hit the ground running. It's far easier moving domestically. Diedhiou is a young guy from a very different culture - obviously it could take him a while to reach his best form. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

South Somerset Red Posted September 30, 2017 Report Share Posted September 30, 2017 Clueless fans judging him on a few games giving him no time to settle, well he isn't doing to bad now. Like to hear what the two muppets who were stood behind me in the derby game have to say about him now. Calling him useless and shit at every slight error, funny how he seemed to score late in that game which began his good form. Good work rate and great physicality to him and to be honest thought he did alright in early games but obviously didn't have the one thing that the football manager pros need which is stats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So perhaps we ain't seen nothing yet! It's a big factor - LJ always talks about how Đurić's family have moved here and that helped him (pre-injuries!). Pisano's are here too. I think Kodjia's moved here too eventually. With Baldock, Trundle or Maynard they could just pop up the motorway to see their family. Not so easy for Famara.

Alessandro Posted September 30, 2017 Report Share Posted September 30, 2017 I saw the other day (before the Ipswich game) that Fam is also 10th out of all the forwards (100 odd) in the Championship for aerial battles won. I'm sure he will be looking to get the won % up, but shows that perhaps he is better in the air than many give him credit for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamesBCFC Posted September 30, 2017 Report Share Posted September 30, 2017 Enjoying that this can still be bumped, but let's stay grounded, he will hit a dry patch this season. 12-15 goals from him would be great, any more is a bonus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keeps debate going, also people enjoy dredging up posts from months ago to prove people stupid On FD , watched the steam today. Thought he looked twice the player he was just a few weeks ago. Stronger , hold up play vastly improved , he even looks quicker. Hope we haven't seen the best of him because we could have some player on our hands after Christmas. Also , I don't think I've seen a player seem to enjoy himself so much, massive smile all the time he's playing, specially after he scores. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What makes me laugh is the posters that get abusive about their "opinion", and call you an idiot about their "opinion", however, when you come back at them when you have the facts you then get called sad for proving said abusers wrong.

A forum needs debate and this requires differing opinions, yes. But those opinions don't need to be ultimate extremes like "I'll take 4th bottom now" 2-3 game into a season, or getting carried away because we are in good form now. I have seen posts today talking about playoffs by the same people announcing we were doomed to League 1 6 months ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
