    Well it seems like we now have one in Campbell.
    But it just brings me back to my previous comments and questions on the subject ever since Maynard got hurt.
    I commented then that the teams who had one of these players relied on him and when he didn't spark or didn't play they had nothing else to offer. Cardiff on the other hand didn't have one and we had goals coming from so many different directions on the park that defences didn't know how to cover all the potential threats.
    Now we have Campbell and he is so obviously another great bit of business by Malky. He has scored 5 goals in 5 games, far more than even the most optimistics of us probably imagined. By this rate he will have about 15 by the end of the season.
    But people always said they wanted such a player because then we would be winning comfortably and not by the odd 1 goal. My question was always, would he score goals in addition to the ones other players were getting then, or instead of other players?
    We are beginning to see the answer.
    We won 2 - 1 today and he scored them both. given the team we have and their work ethic does anyone really believe that if he hadn't been there we wouldn't have scored today?
    Do people really believe that this wonderful team would have lost the last 3 games if we hadn't bought him?
    I believe someone else would have stepped up and done the neccesary.
    So are the team starting already to expect him to come good?
    If this is how the season is going to go on we will end up with no more total goals, just the other team members making the undoubtedly classy Mr Campbell even better than he really is.

    XS....frankly, if we go up I do not give a flying f***.....I think that's what Clark Gable said anyway.
    On another point, as I lay in bed this morning looking at the scores elsewhere, I pondered on the idea of our position getting better even when we don't play. Maybe other teams don't like us and since we won't allow ourselves to get relegated, they are contriving to send us up?
