CHAPEL END CHARLIE Posted 19 April, 2011 Share Posted 19 April, 2011 Guly 19 league starts, (sub 11) goals 8 Antonio 14 league starts, (sub 14) - goals 3 This does little or nothing to answer the goals per minute question.

dannysfc Posted 19 April, 2011 Share Posted 19 April, 2011 If this is true then I for am will be Gutted to see Barney out for the next 5/6 games or whatever we have left of this coming season but hopefully he will be able to play some part at least by the Plymouth/Walsall game but we'l see with that one! Also I hope Guly/Connolly get us the goals that will see us go up to the Championship for next season too and now would be a Good time for Rickie Lambert to step up again and also score us vital goals as well to get us up !

NickG Posted 19 April, 2011 Share Posted 19 April, 2011 Potentially misleading. From memory Papa Waigo & Michail Antonio were (in the main) used as substitutes last season while Guly on the other hand has actually started plenty of games. A more telling stat than a crude tally of appearances would be the number of goals scored per minute played, or would that not fit your argument? As you have raised this matter the onus is on you to prove your case. Guly 19 league starts, (sub 11) goals 8 Antonio 14 league starts, (sub 14) - goals 3 assists Guly 6, Antonio 2 This does little or nothing to answer the goals per minute question. Fair minded fans will also bare in mind that Antonio was a mere teenager while Guly is a experienced 28 year old processional in the prime of his career. it does pretty much answer it!

modern matron Posted 19 April, 2011 Share Posted 19 April, 2011 Guly has won both Charlton home and Bristol Rovers home with 2 goals and one assist despite playing wide so get off his back! Barney has been doing well but is hardly a world beater - Connelly was different class and well up for it on Saturday. It's midfield that is more worrying, Deano is holding things together at the moment with Chaplow and Stephenson struggling.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brmbrm Posted 19 April, 2011 Share Posted 19 April, 2011 No it really doesn't. A substitute appearance can last for 30 seconds or 89 minutes. Alright then, let's suppose Guly came on in the first minute every time he was a substitute. Lets also suppose Anotnio came on n the 90th minute, one second before added time ended. then those statistics become: Guly 19 league starts, (sub 11) = 30 games @ 90 minutes = 2700 minutes for 8 goals: 337.5 minutes per goal Antonio 14 league starts, (sub 14) = 14 games @ 90 minutes = 1260 minutes for 3 goals 3: 420 minutes per goal Plus of course your assumption (Guly always gets 90 minutes as a sub, Antonio never got 1 minute) is total nonsense.

Fair minded fans will also bare in mind that Antonio was a mere teenager while Guly is a experienced 28 year old processional in the prime of his career. Oh look you lost another arguement and are now changing your original one to try and bend it around your agenda, strange that. Besides, I said at the start of the season we should worry about our lack of cover upfront more than anything else, Guly did well to assess these fears but is not an out an out striker. Its a shame, I don't doubt that we attempted to get someone in, and it must have been difficult convincing someone of the required ability they MAY be playing second fiddle to Lambert and Barnard. I just worry about Connolly, it is IMO just a matter of minutes until he is injured again and I worry about his impact, don't get me wrong, he was great at the weekend but then absolutely dire against Plymouth earlier in the season.

dubai_phil Posted 19 April, 2011 Share Posted 19 April, 2011 So after the arguments about golas per game, maybe one thing to watch out for Saturday IF Guly plays up front. Who takes the "on the shoulder" role and "who drops off"? When Barney plays RL drops into the role of provider our wide. HOPEFULLY the injury to LB means that RL now takes this role & (finally) starts getting into those positions many of us hoped all season, with Guly being the man to drop out wide. Now THAT could be interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the saint in winchester Posted 19 April, 2011 Share Posted 19 April, 2011 For me, I hope they move Guly back up front with Lambert and use Connolly off the bench. Guly's outstanding form came earlier in the season when he played in this role and for me its his best. All the "Taxi for Do Prado" and recent criticism, come from when he plays in a wider midfield role. Yes, agree with you on this, man from Brussels, 6'4 and full of muscles.

dubai_phil Posted 19 April, 2011 Share Posted 19 April, 2011 go back to end of Dec / early Dec to see how well Guly / Lambert can play together - Barnard couldn't get a start Ah yup, agree with that Barnard - goals & 120% effort cannot knock it, defending from the front, Guly weak link out wide. No LB defending from the front no Guly making the mess in midfield being in an un-accustomed role - probaly will balance itself out Guly/Lambert, like you said LB doesn't get in the team because IMHO they fit the formation better. (but LB is the better natural striker) I'm sure you'll have the stats about more goals/wins Goes back to my Taxi for Barnard thread. We will miss him but it is not as totally catastrophic as some think IMHO, Guly & Lambo should be OK, more important our right side Midfield should be more stable and allow Butters to get into the game more instead of waiting to pick up the Guly mistakes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wade Garrett Posted 20 April, 2011 Share Posted 20 April, 2011 I agree with OldNick, Forte and N'Guessan have not exactly set the league alight. Forte came on as sub against MK Dons and scored 2, came on as sub second half v Rochdale and played well, and I thought he had a decent game on the left with Dickson on Saturday. If Barnard is out, then we could play Guly up front (not sure who would play right), or keep Guly and Forte wide and play Lallana with Lambert. They played together a bit last season and did well. Or play Connolly up front and have Gully and Lallana playing wide. For all the moaning about not signing this player or that, we aren't exactly chucking youth teamers in are we.

NickG Posted 20 April, 2011 Share Posted 20 April, 2011 (edited) Despite all these clowns without a clue critiscing Gully, goals win games and Gully has scored the same amount of goals in half the combinded appearances the supposed footballing gods of Papa Waigo and Antonio did for us last season. Don't think Antonio is any better than Forte and N'Guesson - his only experience other than non-league was here. Expect if club wanted him on loan rather than those two could easily sorted loan. There is not way that Peterborough would have sold CMS to us for anywhere near the figure you mentioned - or even double it. Doubt CMS would have signed any way he has made it clear he wants to look at higher level options at end of season and knows a potential premier league side wants him.

The footballing god that is antonio has gone from teenage hopeful to SFC legend and the answer to all our prayers since he has left it would seem. Clearly the managers of championship Millwall and premier league Blackpool think he is a better player than Antonio, maybe they should have come to you for advice first though. And as for your comments on what might have happened had two players who left had stayed, well lets speculate on what might have happened if they were still here and ignore all the evidence that Guly has been more effective than both of them.

NickG Posted 20 April, 2011 Share Posted 20 April, 2011 Antonio - raw, some good performances for us, decent player but would hope we could do better for first 11 (and we have Ox-C, Puncheon, Guly, Forte) Puncheon - noticed him playing for Mk and very impressed. Lots of ability, probably better in more central role as at MK - clearly fallen out with club and therefore not good for team but as playing in prem not due to lack of ability Guly - better than both, easily. ~Our best period this season was with him upfront with Lambert. Good control and speed, will always try something different - unfortunately as doesn't play it safe can give away possession, vital when teams park a bus and he can open them up - like Saturday.

I neither agree nor disagree, i could see the value of signing him, but i dont think he is the answer to all our prayers like some seem too. Squad player, no more no less, quick, strong but raw, i dont see him bringing anything more to the table than Forte. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHAPEL END CHARLIE Posted 20 April, 2011 Share Posted 20 April, 2011 Antonio - raw, some good performances for us, decent player but would hope we could do better for first 11 (and we have Ox-C, Puncheon, Guly, Forte) Puncheon - noticed him playing for Mk and very impressed. Lots of ability, probably better in more central role as at MK - clearly fallen out with club and therefore not good for team but as playing in prem not due to lack of ability Guly - better than both, easily. ~Our best period this season was with him upfront with Lambert. Good control and speed, will always try something different - unfortunately as doesn't play it safe can give away possession, vital when teams park a bus and he can open them up - like Saturday. You go to games but do you actually watch ? Guly is not really that pacy (but quicker than Lambert I suppose - is that what you mean?) and his first touch can be comical at times - as witnessed by the entire Chapel Stand at the last home game. Do try and pay attention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHAPEL END CHARLIE Posted 20 April, 2011 Share Posted 20 April, 2011 yes lets, if you can let us know when Antonio & Waigo make their premier league debut that would also be most welcome. As for Guly, you are right, he falls between the two descriptions you have mentioned, but i'm not unhappy having a player who averages a goal almost every 2 games, over a 46 games season that would make him in the top 5 scorers in league one, not bad for a moderate player who produces a rare moment of inspiration, but not often enough to warrent a start in this divison. A prime example of the misleading use of statistics - only if and when a player actually plays "46 games season" can you draw the conclusion you have.

NickG Posted 20 April, 2011 Share Posted 20 April, 2011 Forte has more goals and assists in championship this season than Antonio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barry the Badger Posted 20 April, 2011 Share Posted 20 April, 2011 Guly is not really that pacy (but quicker than Lambert I suppose - is that what you mean?) . Not sure who you're looking at but the Guly I've been watching is f*cking quick. Perhaps not the acceleration of Chamberlain but at full tilt he can go some.
