Robbored Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 Bit of a time filler, I know but who was the last City midfielder to score 10+ goals over a season? Scott Murray doesn't apply - he was a winger in my book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are aware that the world moved on from the 2-3-5 formation about 50 years ago? of course a winger is a midfielder, particularly if you're playing 4-4-2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone on another forum highlighted the lack of goals from Citys midfield and I wondered if that is a fairly recent issue or actually a much longer one. I couldn't recal a City 10+ goal scoring midfielder at all. I didn't include Murray because he was a winger and therefore didn't qualify. The question about whether a winger is a midfielder is another debate altogether. As there are some statto's on here I thought I'd ask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BCFC_Dan Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 Seems to me that if wingers aren't counted as midfielders then you can end up with all kinds of silly rules that render the discussion pointless. Scott Murray actually scored a number of his goals as a wing-back, which by some definitions would make him a defender. It is fair to say, though, that City rarely seem to have had a goal-scoring central midfielder in the team. One of the few that springs to mind is Steve Robinson who was on loan from Bournemouth for a short period during Danny Wilson's tenure. Perhaps Nick Carle could have been one had things worked out differently. It's hard to think of many others. City midfielders seem to have generally been either the all-action Doherty/Elliot/Smith types or deep-lying passers like Johnson, Skuse and Pack. Given the number of players and managers that have passed through the doors at Ashton Gate over the past 20 years I can't imagine that this is down to any particular factor at the club and I wonder if the goal-scoring central midfielder itself is a rare phenomenon. Maybe City haven't had many simply because there aren't that many. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Dawe Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 You've got wingers (wide midfield players) and then you've got out and out wingers (players that race down the touchline and cross the ball down the keeper's throat/onto the centre half's head/ over oeveryone's head/into the crowd/shoot wildly into the crowd/run the ball out for a goal kick/turns around and passes it back to the fullback/very occasionally pick out his centre forward).
