Longacre_red Posted October 29, 2007 Report Share Posted October 29, 2007 Fair point- slaggin off is not the right word. When you have skill like he does to waltze past that Norwich defender, you don't always need pace. An average of almost one goal for every 3 starts he has made says he is good enough so far. 15 goals would be a fine return.I think you need to see how well he played live yesterday to appreciate what he adds to the team. If he isn't good enought then we are left with only one capable striker at the club...Agreed, his best game in a city shirt!!Did a lot of running which he wont get credit for.wasn't quiet, he played very well and could have had a goal and an assist.Trundle and Byfield sat please, Noble wasn't fit and was a waste of time playing him, waste of a sub and probably made his injury worse. Give him a rest on sat, theres plenty of football left this year for him to play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greyfriars red Posted October 29, 2007 Report Share Posted October 29, 2007 But according to the Championship highlights and Stoke city site review (See above) he was quiet! Whos right or wrong here. All I saw from Lee was a chance in the first 20 secs, and a pass near the end??What else did he do? Please don't say he created space for others :noexpression:Lee scores a goal v Norwich, after coming on as a sub, after the rest of the team did the hard work and thats enogh for you?If you watch the highlights without listening to the commentary you will see trundle was involved in most of the build up to the chances we had in the game. Lee at times can work very hard off the ball to create space for other players. I think him playing just behind darren it aloud him to turn and drop deep, which seems to suite his style of play.

Seend Red Posted October 29, 2007 Report Share Posted October 29, 2007 trundle is just fat and is a waste of space. i rather see richard walker up there for us!!!!!!!!! So what are you then child? Rovers I assume!Trundle did well, his work rate was improved on recent performane's and he also held the ball up well, ironically against one of the most phsyical teams in CCC. Maybe the penny has dropped for Lee that he can't be a luxery here like he was at the Swans!. Still did the tricks as before but also ran his b***ocks off and looked strong.Play like that Mr Trundle and i'll have no problems with you.

greyfriars red Posted October 29, 2007 Report Share Posted October 29, 2007 He can't be that fat - have you seen who he shares his bed with? I not laughing with him.I was laughing at the fact he would rather see Richard Walker in a City shirt than Trundle.I've only just managed to get back up of the floor from laughing so much!!!! :goingup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bartolona Posted October 29, 2007 Report Share Posted October 29, 2007 All that was missing from Trundles game Saturday was a goal. His work rate was good and he seemed well up for it. Maybe being "rested" has done him good, but probably more to do with the ball now being played to feet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seend Red Posted October 29, 2007 Report Share Posted October 29, 2007 Probably more to do with the ball now being played to feet.That wasn't the case,I just think he looked more up for it, battle and contested every ball and won more than his fair share. Those Stoke defenders were all big lads and probably some of the most phyiscal defenders he'll come up against this season and Trundle more than held his own.Tells it own story really on how little he contrbuted earlier on in the season. Keep it up Lee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nibor Posted October 29, 2007 Report Share Posted October 29, 2007 That wasn't the caseYes it was. I can't recall us hoofing the ball to him once on Saturday but we'd certainly done that lots in the first 8 or 9 games.As a result it stuck to him and he had a far better game.He didn't look any more or less up for it at all IMO.

Just shame that shot in the first couple of minutes just flashed wide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seend Red Posted October 29, 2007 Report Share Posted October 29, 2007 I think it is Byfield who'll be on the bench if Noble is fit - as per the start of the Stoke game.A lot of people want to see Noble and Trundle in the side - and it appears that GJ is of the same opinion or he wouldn't have risked Noble on saturday.GJ stated Byfield wasn't drop but rested as he though he looked jaded due to playing that lone role up front once to many times,I expect to see DB in ther starting 11 against Wolves.

Play it on the ground he is useful- lump it in the air and he isn't going to win much regardless of how hard he tries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0738parkway Posted October 29, 2007 Report Share Posted October 29, 2007 If you look passed the LT hype......do you really think Lee does enough to justify his place in the first 11?Be honestYes i do ,have been to most games and he is an integral part of the squad as are all of the players , its now a squad game not a bare 11 team , you keep reading reports from one eyed moody championship sides supporters who think we are lucky while i keep watching the city picking up more points with trundle in the team or on the bench , like i say its a squad game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am happy to wait until then and drop my five pence worth in when others see it from my point of view Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Eddie_Mulcahy Posted October 31, 2007 Report Share Posted October 31, 2007 I think he is in their class. He's just in a lower league. I reckon he will be our top scorer for the next 3 seasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
