Guest REDCIDERARMY Posted September 18, 2005 Report Share Posted September 18, 2005 Can anyone honestly say we have a 20 plus striker in our team this season,which you need if you want auto promotion,in Brooker may be 17 if stays fit,Stewart may be 14 on present standards,Bridges 15 if stays fit,gillespie once of the mark 10. None of which is good enough for auto promotion may be with a tight defence the playoffs otherwise mid table Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robins72 Posted September 18, 2005 Report Share Posted September 18, 2005 Brooker will score us at least 20 goals this season. Hes already got 3 and has been unlucky being injured. Also I think Cotterill will score at least 10. Hes a good pacey striker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommy doc Posted September 18, 2005 Report Share Posted September 18, 2005 if your strikers score 56 goals between them, i'd say you have a pretty good chance of promotion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ziderfarmer Posted September 18, 2005 Report Share Posted September 18, 2005 if your strikers score 56 goals between them, i'd say you have a pretty good chance of promotion←agreed if all your strikers are scoring or the ones whoplay score you always have a chance.

Guest REDCIDERARMY Posted September 18, 2005 Report Share Posted September 18, 2005 Not the point I was trying to make,thats if they played all the season,so its only two out of those totals so I can reckon on us only achieving 30 to 35 goalsthis season not promotion only possibly play offs if we have a good defence.Thats what I mean about having a goalscorer who can get you 20 plus a season its so many more points and auto promotion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerry Gows' Tash Posted September 18, 2005 Report Share Posted September 18, 2005 However you look at the stats at the moment you can't see them pointing to promotion - goals scored, conceded, shots on target, corners and possesion are all poor (I think yesterday was the first time we had 50% posession and that was at home). The team is missing a key ingredient, maybe it's russel, maybe its a new manager, the potential is there but it's not come out yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest hairyshamrock Posted September 18, 2005 Report Share Posted September 18, 2005 I think to pin all your hopes on your strikers alone to score goals is misguided. Drogba scored 8 goals alone so how did Chelsea win the Premier league last season? The missing link from City's perspective is that they have no supply. If we had regular quality crosses going in the box, i could see all 4 getting 15+ depending on appearances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lukejones2 Posted September 19, 2005 Report Share Posted September 19, 2005 Agree with Hairy.quite simply, Bridges, Brooker and Stewart have all proved in the past that they are good enough to get 20 goals in a season and Gillespie I believe has the potential to also do so.In ansewer to your question, yes. All 4 are 20-goal-a-season strikers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Westonsupermare_Wednesdayite Posted September 19, 2005 Report Share Posted September 19, 2005 All I can think is a random drugs test this morning. He has been transfer listed before and came close to being sacked. Its a shame, cause when he's on his game he's a v.good striker.Send us Brooker please Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
