Popular Post GrahamC Posted August 7, 2022 Popular Post Report Share Posted August 7, 2022 His goal yesterday was his 45th at Championship level for us, the same number as Nicky Maynard managed in red & he’s now 3 behind the great Wayne Allison. I cannot work out the last player to get 50 goals for us at this level, maybe Tom Ritchie? But seeing as he has now scored 24 in his last 48 league games for us (pretty sure that we can all work out that is a one in two strike rate) & of course that doesn’t include a single penalty, it is a truly phenomenal effort & seeing as he now only needs 5 more, he looks odds on to get there. I know some are now regretting their stereotyping of him as someone who “just runs around” “almost stealing a living” but let’s be completely honest, we would be absolutely fecked without him, wouldn’t we? 42 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CS Red Posted August 7, 2022 Report Share Posted August 7, 2022 Always thought Wiemann is excellent player at this level. Did Lee Peacock score 50+ goals? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BCFCGav Posted August 7, 2022 Report Share Posted August 7, 2022 Fam reached 51 for us, but some were in the cups, not sure how many he did accrue in the league. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LJ brought him in and played him up front, I think he got 5 goals in 5 games at the start of the season ? LJ then decides to play him wide, and the goals dry up. Play him up top, or behind a front two, and the guy delivers. Long may it continue ! 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I looked it up, Tom “only” scored 37 at that level for us, but that’s because he also scored 40 top flight goals. Peerless since Atyeo for me. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbored Posted August 7, 2022 Report Share Posted August 7, 2022 (edited) Tony ‘tap in’ Thorpe scored. 50+ goals for City - he hardly gets a mention these days. Edited August 7, 2022 by Robbored Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedEd73 Posted August 7, 2022 Report Share Posted August 7, 2022 My first City match was in 1988. I've had my favourites over the years, but Andi is my all time City fave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just about to post exactly the same RR. And that's an incredible goals/game ratio - 1 in every 2 he started. Nice to see him yesterday. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably the best single bit of business Nige has done since he has been here was getting Andi to sign a new contract last year. He is a superb player at this level IMO. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benny Lennartsson also said he was the worst professional he ever worked with, which is why he sent him off on loan. He was brilliant in the third tier, but never did it above that.

shelts Posted August 7, 2022 Report Share Posted August 7, 2022 Lots of humble pie and myself included . He’s proved to be a very good signing and what a comeback after a serious injury . Fingers crossed he stays with us for a few more seasons . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As last season showed , he needs a number 9 next to him or in front of him to do his best work. LJ was too bothered trying to shoehorn lesser players into the team so moved him wide. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A couple of quick intelligent players around him will see the runs he makes and which are currently ignored. It would also allow us to keep the ball on the ground. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
