McGoldrick is never a goalscorer, but he's a good player who'd likely be best in a good footballing team behind the main striker, given how we are set up atm I cannot fathom why he keeps getting in the team need a big man upfront with Chopra!!
22 goals in 16 appearances for Coventry and League 1's top goal scorer? "Never a goalscorer"...are you sure?
You might want to look at your stats before giving it the big I am welly!! So on the evidence of what you have seen, do you think he could score 20 goals in a season for us?? Or even 20 goals in 2 seasons? He's a good player but he doesn't take up the right positions to be a regular scorer, which is why that run in the Coventry team was by far his best run. Most of his goals for Coventry were great goals but they weren't tap ins they weren't him finishing off a move they were all mainly scored like his goal for us outside of the area. I could quite easily say 1 in 9 for us, I geuss if you take the literal meaning of a goalscorer he would be one, because he's scored a goal for us. He hasn't even looked liked scoring!! He may like Stead go on a scoring run from time to time (you'd have to be a pretty poor striker not to) but he will never score be a consistent goalscorer because he simply does not occupy those positions!!
Before "giving it the big I am"... You need to re-read your post and see the inherent contradictions within, unbelievable! On the basis of your post I'd say that my 13 year old son knows more about football (or at least, logic) than you...
why don't you argue against my point rather than being a dickhead? I was merely pointing out you got your facts wrong!! Lets see shall we, I hope he does score alot of goals for us but I can't see him scoring 20 goals in a season. He's so far managed 1 goal in 9 and that's after his about 20 goals in 120 appearences at this level?? Good player but not a goalscorer
No need, mate, you're arguing against your own point far better than I could, and I'm too busy playing Angry Birds to be bothered...
Ok, let me give you a starter... So most of his goals for Coventry, (which made him League 1's top scorer at the time we got him), were, as you say, "great goals", not tap ins...but that makes him "not a goalscorer" in your opinion... Contradictions...
DU, just because you don't rate McGoldrick doesnt mean it is his fault we are not scoring, you really do have tunnel vision at times.....!
I don't think it's a contradiction. Do u believe he could score alot of goals in this division then?? So you consider him on the evidence of what you've seen a goalscorer?? I'd call a goalscorer a player who scores alot of tap ins, who comes alive in the penalty box as to being able to score goals like he did there on a consistent basis would require a significant amount of skill!! He isn't going to score 20 goals like the one he scored for us yet I believe the majority of goals he will score for us will come from positions like that because he doesn't get into the positions required in the box enough. 1 goal in 9 shows this and I can barely recall him missing a chance in the penalty box!! You could've made your point without being snide, although apart from getting your facts wrong you've still not managed to back up your argument
I actually think the forwards and the midfield are the problem, although certainly our forwards would be doing better if our midfield improved
Well it sort of is his fault and it's McCarthy's fault for continuing to pick him and for having released Scotland. You look around the squad and it's not easy to see how to improve it either.
Well i think he has scored in those 8 games and from what i've heard and seen he has played well in most of those games. We need to drop Hyam and replace him with someone that can look forward for a pass he has had his chance and failed .............so its not gonna happen now i'm afraid...
So following your logic, Gareth Bale isn't a goalscorer as most of his goals are great goals, and not tap ins... You carry on, mate...
Ok I see what you're doing now, you're taking the literal sense of a goalscorer. Going by that Tommy Smith is a goalscorer, Brad Friedal is a goalscorer so is Peter Schmeical and Paul Robinson. So you think we've got a team of goalscorers!! Gareth Bale is not a striker, he's an attacking midfielder. For me on the whole a goalscoring striker scores goals mainly in the penalty box, either as a goal poacher which McGoldrick isn't or as a target man attacking the crosses which McGoldrick isn't. For me he doesn't get into the positions in the box to be considered a regular goalscorer, he might have the odd purple patch!! I don't even know why I'm bothering trying to reason with someone who's decided to be moronic tbh, though I wish you'd just stick to angry birds it's probably more your level atm
