I am not sure that is entirely fair. It is being said he has missed 22. I have not counted them, but Its not really 0/22 is it - more like 6/28 or something. For most forwards, I supect their scoring rate on a sample comprised solely of misses is not that great..

There is the conundrum. He really could be the top scorer in the country right now. However to say that to be content with him, because of how the rest of the team is doing, he would have to be the countrys top scorer is setting the bar very high indeed. It is very frustrating, but if we were tighter, I think we would be celebrating his winners much more than his misses. I think...

Well its all about views I guess. Just find it odd those who have a go at our front two for missing chances, as if the chances created are delivered like Xmas presents and completly unrelated to how the two are playing. To be honest, I can find the workrate, missed chances as frustrating as anything to. I cannot think of a City side that so consistently creates chances - I just happen to think a fair bit of that is down to Jet and Sammy themselves!

Some of his finishes have been decent. I to would have liked him to have scored a few more of course, but I refer you to my previous question. Given those chances, how many would he have to have scored at this stage for you to have been content?

If to win, Baldock needs to get a hat trick, then we are in trouble.

Serious question - for those writing him off, given the chances he has certainly had, how many goals do you believe he should have had at this stage of the season, for you to have been happy with his finishing ratio?

Could double that for both the Dongs games this season. For all the frustrations with his, is it our goals for, or goals against that is the core of the problem?

I do think some of the crititism of Sammy if a function partly of just how close most of our games are. It will always be the case of looking at the one that got away. We win 2-1 todayand his misses get less of a spotlight than his two goals. Should he score more for the great chances he gets. Yes. Would any replacement we could conceivably get get those chances in the first place? Much more of an open question, but most likely not. As for JET clearly from reports a bad one today. It cannot just be goals - would we take starting each game with ten players all game if we started every other one, one up? Does need to be more consistent, but one of the few players you feel you enjoy watching when on form. Sammy got two today. Sure he could have got more. The reason we did not win, was letting two in, however, in my view.

Ummm...still to small a sample I guess, but nine points from last five. Its just so tight at the bottom. For us more than most it has been tight margins. 12 draws and 8 losses by an odd goal. Feb will tell us whether we are going to be fine, or deep in the brown stuff. The rest of this month, points are a bonus.

Everyone will have to play them eventuallly. Drawing to many games, but rather fancy our season will turn more on the Feb fixtures than the Jan ones. No reason not fo feel confident looking at that run of games. I hope.

Obviously wanted a win, but MK were in pretty good form, sounds like a decent match, and um, have you looked at the table? Hardly certainly down yet?

Sounds like a hard earned point in the end. Random fact of the day - we won half the points won away in our league today. Home form to see us over the line - I hope! Fancied us to win at 3.00. At 3.01 would happily have taken the draw.

I think gd shows just how tight most of our games have been. Hopefully we will start seeing some confidence return. THe games I have seen we have been competitive, but no more than that. If we can push on a little now, it would be nice to watch a game without unduly worrying about the bottom of the table. Fingers crossed.
