Batman. Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 Would you bang 18 goals in the onion bag though? No. Football's very simple big man, and any pleb could run the channels. Not many can deliver where it really matters though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pick32 Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 Yak got the goals but he was useless come secound half. Was so frustrating to watch, robbo would kick the ball for him to hold up but if it wasn't in a 5yard radias he wouldn't bother chasin it. The amount of times teams pegged us back because e couldn't be assed gettin hold of the ball was ridicules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dingles staying down 4ever Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 Yak got the goals but he was useless come secound half.

The amount of times teams pegged us back because e couldn't be assed gettin hold of the ball was ridicules. To be fair, when he got the ball, who was around him to lay the ball off to? The team's tactics were flawed because playing with one up front needed players running from midfield to support him. We couldn't do that which in turn showed Yaks lack of mobility. Also if he was mobile he would have been at a better club than Rovers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kmkywapful Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 10 in 42 for Newcastle in the Premiership though and that's not being the main striker. It is actually 10 in 29 top flight, the first 13 were in the Championship where he wasn't starting all the time and struggled to settle straight away. I think he will be a good signing for you. Willing grafter, decent on the deck and as long as he's playing regularly will sniff out goals. Get used to the offside flag going up though.

kmkywapful Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 Also, somebody mentioned Shola Ameobi being picked ahead of him. That is not strictly true, ever since Best got into the side after Carroll left he has generally been a starter ahead of Shola - particularly last season where Shola was used almost entirely as a substitute. Shola also hit 10 goals in 11 starts (+7 sub apps) in the Championship! The drop off in quality is fairly big. You also saw how Jason Roberts did for Reading towards the end of last season, players with a physical and/or technical advantage can be very effective in this league. Danny Murphy is on paper an extremely astute signing and should run games in this division. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rovers_Dan Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 Wasn't it Leon Best who scored a great hat trick last season? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharpysharps Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 I seem to remember he scored a hat trick on his full premier league debut for them shortly after Carroll went to Liverpool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rovers11 Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 It really is a bizarre situation we're in. Best and Murphy? I wouldn't have given us a hope of signing either one given our situation. For the Championship they're both really good signings. Really don't know how to feel about our situation! Outstanding signings for the championship. I would been pleased last year if we had signed these two players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roversfan1 Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 Quite pleased with the signing of Best and feel that with a run of games he will score goals in the Championship and Murphy should provide him with those chances! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Torgeir Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 Good replacement for Yak, should be a good quality Championship player. Add another striker, preferably not Nuno Gomes, and re-sign David Bentley and I think we're onto something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clitherover Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 Another Premiership quality signing, I'm quite surprised he didn't sign for one of the Prem teams who were after him but I suppose money talks. We might do alright this season with a few more decent signings, hanging on to what we've got and above all else a new manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
