I'm sorry Oddball, I was with you right up until this but you've gone to far. Jay Bothroyd is the most disinterested lazy lump we've had in a long time. Rob Hulse tries but he's just past it.

I agree, Zamora did his job very well last season. People have to accept that he's never going to score many and that his type of play looks boring and one dimensional - just like Emile Heskey. However, its a vital job and when done correctly, it allows others in the team to shine.

I firmly trust MH on this as he must see something that he can motivate with these players. Let the Hughes effect soak into them as they may well surprise you.
 
If he doesn't score 10 -15 goals next season one of our midfield will have to weigh in with a 20 goals, can't expect to do well with just Cisse's goals. He may make that possible (I hope so) but he'll still need to score a few himself.

I posted on here the other day, there is a good striker in Bothroyd.
He needs to learn to be more aggressive, we've got a boss who used to be one of the nastiest around!<grr>

Swords just can't understand these knockers can you? ;) ... Had to give a aggressive A5 driver the learning this morning ... kept getting inches from me and ducking and diving while I was smoking my peace pipe and staying well within the speed limit ... the road went dual and suffice as to say he did not pass and his face as he hit his limiter was one of shock.

You're right North, there's no doubt he has the ability. COLIN put all his faith in him and this time last season was saying he could be the new Andy Carroll. COLIN was totally correct but unfortunately was let down by a lad with no "eye of the Tiger" as it were. He ain't got it in his heart, therefore I see him as a lost cause.

You know what they say about an old dog and new trick. Bothroyd isn't going to change, he is a Championship player.
 
The problem with Bothroyd and taarabt for that matter, is that their absolute best position is not upfront, midfield or winger. But behind the striker dropping deep to get the ball. Bothroyd is very comfortable on the ball and has a deadly shot, but because of his size and frame is confused for a target man or striker but has never had the attributes to truly excel in these positions. He is a good squad player to have because of his versatily but we will not see the best of him until he plays in his best position, which we dont have the luxury of doing..........and in a 442 Zamora is king by the way, people who knock him dont know about football simple as.
 
I thought he done really well last year. Came to us at a really tough time and ended up holding the line on his own for most games. Miles better then Bothroyd and the same sort of player.
 
But thats the problem Bothroyd is not a "target man" because off the ball and work rate he's championship level, but on the ball he's definatley prem quality.

Can I also remind the bashers, that 3 seasons ago most talked about HH in the same tone people talk about Hulse today. He couldn't do a thing right for us, but look how he's played for the past couple of seasons.

Give Zamora a chance, because if he becomes settled then he's a very dangerous forward to have. Let's try and be positive about our players for a change and hope for the best, rather than expecting the worst.

Totally agree Lone Ranger. Let's back the team and have the faith.

That's a really good post, especially the last sentence. (I still think Bothroyd hasn't got the desire to make it though)

Well said that man.
