If he could score goals in a Pulis team he can score goals anywhere and certainly more than Gestede, Britt, Fletcher or Akpom. He certainly was - got a grand total of 17 in the 2014-15 season. But don't forget he was playing in a team with Leadbitter, Kike, Reach and Adomah, among others. Worse manager but better team. Think Woody was still playing for us at that stage. I still maintain he'd not have got anywhere near that the last couple of seasons. Who knows - he may have been frozen out like Britt, Fletcher and Akpom...not considered a "proper" striker...

I re read this a few times and I don't know what you mean by worse manager? Do you mean karanka was a worse manager than Warnock?! Link to post Share on other sites

Karanka didn't exactly let loose with his strikers at the time either although he did expect them to cut in from wide areas and create their own opportunities. These days Watmore puts me a little in mind of Bamford, i.e. not a lumbering neanderthal. Bottom line is hitting the target is a good place to start for a striker, something which since Bamford left we seem to have a succession of problems with. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Redcar Rioja 5,872 Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 If we all have a whip-round perhaps Oneboro could put a bid in to buy them, the price must have fallen through the floorboards by now? £47.37 and a 1970 Triumph Herald with a seized water pump might clinch the deal? Heck we could even post pictures of someone else's Triumph Herald if the EFL became suspicious. We could structure the deal around the rental income we get from the Derby Multifunction Arena (that isn't built yet) and ask for sponsorship for the dome that Mel was going to erect instead of sponsoring their non playing Manager. It may need a bit of creative accountancy but that in itself is unlikely to raise any concerns with the Derby faithful or indeed the EFl, well at least not for a few seasons. 4 Link to post Share on other sites
