  1. I think Freeman should have been brought on around 60-65 min and JET around the 75 mark. What's he going to do in 1 minute? :facepalm:

    We can wave goodbye to JET imo...

    ...Cotterill is not the sort of manager to build a team to accomodate a luxury player...

    ...quite rightly if you ask me.

    We all know what JET can do, but he doesn't always do it.

    Our promotion sides under Jordan, Ward and Johnson could not have accomodated a player like JET, despite his quality.

    It's unfortunate, but I fully expect JET to have gone soon... and as I believe that we have finally got the right manager, I am happy to go along with it.

  2. An old woman had a parrot that was prone to swearing.

    One day, the old woman said to the parrot, "The vicar is coming this afternoon... please please don't swear".

    "Ok", said the parrot.

    The vicar arrived and immediately noticed that the parrot had a ribbon tied to each leg.

    "What are the ribbons for?", he asked.

    The old woman replied, "Well... when I pull the left ribbon, he sings Abide With Me... when I pull the right ribbon, he recites the Lord's Prayer".

    "Amazing", said the vicar. "And what does he do when you pull both ribbons together? ".

    "I fall off my ******* perch, you *****!", replied the parrot.

  3. Maybe so but he scored just 20 times in nearly 80 games. If Baldock isn't driven out by the time he's played 80 games for us he could be on 30-35

    I don't know how often he starts for Bournemouth but he's on 5 in 24 this season. So still VERY strange for people to be lamenting him as the one who got away when our only out and out striker who starts games is considerably more prolific.

    Less clinical perhaps, but still by far the more prolific striker.

    I don't know how much Pitman starts for Bournemouth either...

    ...maybe you are right.

    I do know that I wish we'd had Pitman on the bench today.

  4. The stats are still incomparible.

    Pitman finished better than Baldock in the one on one environment, but Baldock scores more goals.

    Personally I'd rather have someone who will give you 20 a season than someone that is more "clinical" but doesn't make enough chances. 1 in 2 is better than 1 in 4 whichever way you slice it up.

    Not if you break it down to minutes on the pitch. Baldock is ever present.

    Anyway, I don't wish to slate Baldock. As I have stated in a previous post, his goal to games ratio this season is as much as the most optomistic fan could have asked from him.

    I just don't happen to believe that he is a 'natural' finisher. Pitman was one of the most 'natural' finishers I have seen in my time at the gate, along with Bob Taylor and (in his time with us) Leroy Lita.

    Oh, and Andy Cole, of course.

  5. He wouldn't have had them!!

    Common misconception re Pitman due to his (unjust) "lazy" tag.

    He knew when to make runs and saved his energy for those situations...

    ...therfore it is highly likely that he would have indeed had those chances.
