del ete Posted July 31, 2012 Report Share Posted July 31, 2012 No idea, but isnt both Stead & Pitman out of contract at the end of the forthcoming season? In which case we need to act now and offer them extensions if Del see them in his future plans, OR put them up for sale. Pisses me off when we let people go for free after weve spent good money on them! I personally think Pitman will leave, especially if the Baldock rumour is true. Have a feeling we might play one man up top for a lot of the season, away especially. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

everreddy Posted July 31, 2012 Report Share Posted July 31, 2012 ...just look at picture 36 on the Killy gallery: he looks really p***ed off. Could be on his way, I reckon...sadly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robbored Posted July 31, 2012 Report Share Posted July 31, 2012 I've always liked goalscorers and Pitman is a terrific finisher and has scored some great goals for City. The 'problem' as I see it his twofold 1) He lacks real pace (although Teddy Sheringham was the same) and his work rate leaves a lot to be desired far too often. 2) He's a known whinger when things aren't going his way and spends far too much time complaining about lack of starts to just about anyone who'll listen. He'd be well advised to concentrate on knuckling down and trying to keep the lid on his frustration and impressing in training. Unfortunately I can see him slipping down the pecking order if City manage to sign Baldock and he could be off in the January window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super Posted July 31, 2012 Report Share Posted July 31, 2012 I think Stead will def sign a new deal. Doubt Pitman will but he is never going to be a regular starter here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Posted July 31, 2012 Report Share Posted July 31, 2012 Which is a real shame because he will go somewhere else in the championship and with the right service, will bang in 25 goals. I really feel that we need to hang onto Brett. Pitman will never score 25 goals in the championship imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robbored Posted July 31, 2012 Report Share Posted July 31, 2012 Pitman will never score 25 goals in the championship imo. I think that if started every week and got decent service he would score 25 goals. He's had limited opportunities at City plus crap service when he did start.

RedRaw Posted July 31, 2012 Report Share Posted July 31, 2012 Pitman will never score 25 goals in the championship imo. Appears to be the opinon of Sky bet also.............80/1 to be Championship top scorer I like Brett and given a run in the side and more importantly, an increase in work rate ALL the time he is on the pitch, he could really do well. Unfortunately, I dont see him getting into the side ahead of Stead or any other striker we bring in. Shame Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red-Robbo Posted July 31, 2012 Report Share Posted July 31, 2012 Pitman will never score 25 goals in the championship imo. Scoring 15 would be nice. And he's the only one here likely to even do that.

Red-Robbo Posted July 31, 2012 Report Share Posted July 31, 2012 Bournemouth fans. And how did they know? When he was there he was their best striker for years but wanted - understandably - to play at a higher level. That's hardly whinging is it. And in no way were his performances on pitch affected. I think he's just got one of those faces that look a bit truculent. Truculent or blank. He's unlikely to be turning up on Celebrity Mastermind any time soon, judging by his interviews. And as for Steady - I love the guy to bits, but objectively he's just not got the goals in him that Brett has. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bearded_red Posted July 31, 2012 Report Share Posted July 31, 2012 Got to love how Brett seems incapable of shrugging off this reputation as a whinger on this forum even though the manager stated repeatedly that his attitude was first class. But hey, apparently some Bournemouth fans said different so why not take their word as fact about a player who last played for them 2 years ago.

'Orns Posted July 31, 2012 Report Share Posted July 31, 2012 Steve Davis from Derby and Baldock from West Ham apparantly we are in for both Ah, Davis as opposed to Davies - I was thinking we were in for Craig Davies for a moment then........TFFT!

Nogbad the Bad Posted July 31, 2012 Report Share Posted July 31, 2012 Bournemouth fans. Not worth mentioning then because that's nothing but anonymous rumours from a few fans of his former club. Perhaps those individuals simply didn't like him, as is the case with a few on here. So with no credible basis whatsoever you say that 'Pitman is a known whinger when things are not going his way and spends far too much time complaining of lack of starts to anyone who'll listen'. What absolute poppycock - do you really think he was complaining about lack of starts at Bournemouth? Your quote is in direct contrast to what what Del has actually stated - that Pitman has always trained hard, been patient for his chance, and never been a moments trouble. A disgraceful character assassination from you with absolutely no credible foundation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nogbad the Bad Posted July 31, 2012 Report Share Posted July 31, 2012 Pitman will never score 25 goals in the championship imo. I've no doubt whatsoever Pitman could score 20 with regular starts. If the team could provide a few tap ins that number could rise further. Worth bearing in mind that only 2 players scored more than 20 goals in the Championship last season, so imo we have one of the Championship's potential top scorers on our books.

Nogbad the Bad Posted July 31, 2012 Report Share Posted July 31, 2012 Yet he hasn't been automatic first choice for ether teflon or Delboy Even so, Pitman was easily City's top scorer under Millen and just 1 goal behind our top scorer under Millen/Del. You back up my argument for Pitman to be a regular starter very well monkeh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
