Mrdc Posted July 29, 2012 Report Share Posted July 29, 2012 Having just watched the interview with Martyn Woolford, he is certainly being optimistic for season ahead or he has been smoking a crack pipe by aiming for 10 goals for the season. Oh well good luck to him.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ciderincornwall Posted July 29, 2012 Report Share Posted July 29, 2012 Well, seeing as he hasnt afaik hit 10 in a season yet, delusional would be my thinking Optimistic ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob k Posted July 29, 2012 Report Share Posted July 29, 2012 +1 Rather he had this attitude than any other. I got a funny feeling about woolford this season, I'm very much in the camp that you don't become a bad player overnight and he's still got something to offer. Not sure he will get 10 but I'm hoping hes now settled and I'm pleased with his positive attitude. Here's hoping the fans can wipe the slate clean and get behind him rather than giving him stick, it would do wonders for his confidence and will hopefully give us the player we all thought we had signed.

Super Posted July 29, 2012 Report Share Posted July 29, 2012 Seen nothing in the bloke to suggest he will be a key player this season, hope to be proved wrong though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BITW Posted July 29, 2012 Report Share Posted July 29, 2012 Nice to hear him acknowledge he hasn't played particularly well for BCFC so far. I have been a critic of his but fingers crossed he improves this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eastonboy Posted July 29, 2012 Report Share Posted July 29, 2012 What would be more believable? Woolford suggesting he's going to score 10 goals this season? Or Woolford suggesting he's going for a foursome with Jessica Alba, Kylie Minogue and Bar Raefael? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robbored Posted July 29, 2012 Report Share Posted July 29, 2012 Fair play to him for admitting that he hasn't been at his best yet for City and for being optimistic and upbeat about this coming season.

Tins Posted July 29, 2012 Report Share Posted July 29, 2012 A player wants to do well for us and what do people do? knock him. He will never do well if everyone keeps knocking him, lets back him and hopes he does well instead of criticising him for wanting to score lots of goals.

Nogbad the Bad Posted July 29, 2012 Report Share Posted July 29, 2012 He'd already scored 8 goals in 27 apps. when we signed him in the 2011 January window. So he has got 10 goals in him and it's a perfectly reasonable target if he can rediscover that form. After such a disappointing 18 months at City it would be great for Woolford, and the club, if Del could finally get the best out of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Posted July 29, 2012 Report Share Posted July 29, 2012 Credit to Woolford. Your baffling post trail continues, with a confusing random outburst of positivity?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swede Posted July 29, 2012 Report Share Posted July 29, 2012 I think he's actually getting better. I saw 100% improvement towards the end of last season. You have to remember that his move from North Yorks/Lincs was a massive one for him and I venture that he underestimated the affect it would have on him. Unfortunately for him he has that languid style reminiscent of Chris Waddle ( or is that mullet hair do?) Either way he is a team player and that is what DMC and the rest of us ultimately want to see Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bristolcitysweden Posted July 29, 2012 Report Share Posted July 29, 2012 Credit to him for setting a goal tally and most of all for admitting he has been underperforming for whatever reason (which goes for +90 percent of the current squad) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom_from_the_city_team Posted July 29, 2012 Report Share Posted July 29, 2012 If he scored 10, by last season's standards he'd be our top scorer. What odds would you get on that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex_BCFC Posted July 29, 2012 Report Share Posted July 29, 2012 He either improves this season or I think that is that for him here. Showed the odd glimpse of being OK like Birmingham and Barnsley away last season but far too little for '10 goals next season' to be a realstic claim. Prove me wrong.

B.red Posted July 29, 2012 Report Share Posted July 29, 2012 And in the next 16 or 17 of that season he scored zero for us. Correction he scored for us away at derby when we lost 2-1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hippy273 Posted July 29, 2012 Report Share Posted July 29, 2012 Correction he scored for us away at derby when we lost 2-1 The only goal he's ever scored in the time he's been with us. 10 goals for a winger and the Premier League clubs would come in for you, very ambitious at this level.

DaveF Posted July 29, 2012 Report Share Posted July 29, 2012 Christ if he'd said he aims to score 5 goals next season people would probably have a dig at him for not being ambitious or some other crap! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well he did score against Forest too but it was wrongly ruled out for offside (he was on by at least a metre when the pass was made!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Ian M Posted July 29, 2012 Admin Report Share Posted July 29, 2012 Yes, loads thanks, however I happen to try and remain a little grounded, rather than getting completely carried away. People immediately interpret this as being negative or anti city as I'm not blindly following everything without question. If a player who has never scored 10 goals in a season before now, and comes out and says that is his aim for the season, despite being rubbish by and large for us. Should I seriously entertain the idea? or should I quite rightly have huge misgivings about it because it is very likely bunkum. There is positivity about things, and then there is living in cloud cuckoo land. If Woolford does manage to score ten, then bully for him, however in the interim, it's completely churlish to be suckered in by such outlandish claims and try and look on it as realistic or indeed say he should be supported for being 'positive'. Saying ten goals isn't positive, it's a different level entirely with a load of naivety thrown in, but it's the same kind of thing that some things will lap up and use as a boon to chastise other supporters who for some reason dont share the same blind optimism in things. How about when a player who has scored 10 goals in a season before comes out and says it, such as Martyn Woolford for example? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Ian M Posted July 29, 2012 Admin Report Share Posted July 29, 2012 Sorry, I stand corrected, Him clearly scoring 10+ goals in a season for Frinkley, and York in the Conference or below, over 5 years ago and more clearly means that he is going to smack in 10 in the Championship, when he has no pedigree for us for doing anything of the sort. So sorry, for still not being convinced of the outlandish prediction. I wasn't saying it was any more likely, just that he has done it in the past. Regardless, I still think Del is trying to build a 4411 formation and now has Pearson, Anderson & Woolford who have played the "in the hole" role with previous clubs. Perhaps that is key to his outwardly optimistic target? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
