doddisalegend Posted 23 September, 2012 Posted 23 September, 2012 If you had to guess? I see he is already up among the PL top scorers:) 4 S. Fletcher (Sunderland) 4 R. Lambert (Southampton) 4 M. Michu (Swansea) 4 R. van Persie (Man Utd) 3 D. Ba (Newcastle) Long way to go but I could see him getting around 20 if he carries on the way he is going which would be very impressive at this level.
lordswoodsaints Posted 23 September, 2012 Posted 23 September, 2012 Lambert was running the show yesterday both verbally and with his feet,he was talking to and directing players,he was letting players know what he expected but more importantly he was doing a lot of other important stuff like defending and playing to create stuff for other players....it almost looked as if Nigel had given him a free role.....superb. I reckon he's on for 20+ goals.
Sergei Gotsmanov Posted 23 September, 2012 Posted 23 September, 2012 33/1 to be top premier league scorer. I think there is some value in that
wild-saint Posted 23 September, 2012 Posted 23 September, 2012 i had him down for 15. at this rate he will have 15 by xmas.
shurlock Posted 23 September, 2012 Posted 23 September, 2012 (edited) 13-17 erring on the lower side. Edited 23 September, 2012 by shurlock
Wes Tender Posted 23 September, 2012 Posted 23 September, 2012 He'll get 20 at least. There'll be a smattering of penalties in that figure, as we have some very tricky players who will get into the box and cause problems for some defences.
Saint Fan CaM Posted 23 September, 2012 Posted 23 September, 2012 I reckon on 18. NA has the front line playing very fluidly and that suits Lambo, Adam, Puncheon and Gaston, also playing a higher line too. It's when that clicked yesterday that we tore Villa apart. You could see Lambo and Gaston in all kind's of space.
Olallana Posted 23 September, 2012 Posted 23 September, 2012 Obviously he will only get one more since Paul Merson said he would only score five and those pundits are always right, aren´t they? If he makes that fifth before christmas we might as well sell him in the january window
B Rabbit Posted 23 September, 2012 Posted 23 September, 2012 The9 ' I don't think he'll score 10 this season' Rabbit ' ill bet you a tenner that he'll score at least 10 then' The9 'nah' Rabbit 'right.....' Anyhoo... I'm thinking around 15. The9 tell us why he won't score 10 and why you won't take a dead cert bet then
Thedelldays Posted 23 September, 2012 Posted 23 September, 2012 I don't care what the9 tells me.. lambert is and will always be a saints legend.....best £1m signing EVER
doddisalegend Posted 23 September, 2012 Author Posted 23 September, 2012 I don't care what the9 tells me.. lambert is and will always be a saints legend.....best £1m signing EVER Espeically when you compare him to 24 million pound Darren Bent playing at the other end of the pitch yesterday:lol:
Thedelldays Posted 23 September, 2012 Posted 23 September, 2012 Espeically when you compare him to 24 million pound Darren Bent playing at the other end of the pitch yesterday:lol: £30m+ of strikers for them...and lambert made them both look like utter morons...
MongoNeil Posted 23 September, 2012 Posted 23 September, 2012 I don't care what the9 tells me.. lambert is and will always be a saints legend.....best £1m signing EVER When I think back to when we signed him, Huddersfield were concerned that he was at the end of his career and had no sell-on value. I remember their fans chanting at him when we lost at their place, all seems a bit short - sighted now.
Appy Posted 23 September, 2012 Posted 23 September, 2012 The9 ' I don't think he'll score 10 this season' Rabbit ' ill bet you a tenner that he'll score at least 10 then' The9 'nah' Rabbit 'right.....'

hypochondriac Posted 23 September, 2012 Posted 23 September, 2012 15. If he gets that and we stay up then he is officially a saints legend.
Jimmy_D Posted 23 September, 2012 Posted 23 September, 2012 Merson reckoned he wouldn't score 5 'playing for Southampton' this season He's already trying to backtrack and claim penalties don't count
B Rabbit Posted 23 September, 2012 Posted 23 September, 2012 15. If he gets that and we stay up then he is officially a saints legend. Makes you wish he was 26 and not 31 (?)
Mr_Red Posted 23 September, 2012 Posted 23 September, 2012 Already regretting not putting some dosh on him for top scorer this season... Wasn't he 75-1 or something stupid at one point? I didn't learn from this mistake last year either (when he was 20-1 at the start of the season if memory serves)
Turkish Posted 23 September, 2012 Posted 23 September, 2012 The9 ' I don't think he'll score 10 this season' Rabbit ' ill bet you a tenner that he'll score at least 10 then' The9 'nah' Rabbit 'right.....' Anyhoo... I'm thinking around 15. The9 tell us why he won't score 10 and why you won't take a dead cert bet then He can't play up front on his own FFS.
miserableoldgit Posted 23 September, 2012 Posted 23 September, 2012 Merson reckoned he wouldn't score 5 'playing for Southampton' this season He's already trying to backtrack and claim penalties don't count Humble pie on the menu Sky Sports pundit Paul Merson predicted before the start of the season that Rickie Lambert would not score more than five league goals for Southampton over the 38-game campaign. Well, Lambert already has four, and there was something beautifully predictable about the fact he netted a brace against Merson's old club Aston Villa on Saturday Read more at http://www.espn.co.uk/football/sport/story/171370.html#heRziqWOTtxhfXmZ.99
SNSUN Posted 23 September, 2012 Posted 23 September, 2012 It's not just how many he'll score, it's how any he'll assist too. I think 15-20 which is a fair haul, maybe more if we're lucky with penalties, but I reckon he'll get the assists too. How many assists did Grant Holt get last season? I bet Lambert to beat that stat.
SNSUN Posted 23 September, 2012 Posted 23 September, 2012 I also tip Mayuka to get at least ten. (Of course all this is dependant on injuries and game time.)
Turkish Posted 23 September, 2012 Posted 23 September, 2012 Well he's got a few already, (assists)Schinderlins header v Man U, was it his pass to Puncheon? Also a great ball through to Mayuka to win the penalty.
shurlock Posted 23 September, 2012 Posted 23 September, 2012 He can't play up front on his own FFS. In the The9's defense, i would say playing away with Rickie upfront is a different proposition and requires different skills. He's the best we've got but I can certainly see more room for rotation and experimentation player-wise, if not formation-wise in these games. And before you mention the Man City goal, we had already committed to throwing people forward and giving Rickie more support. None of this changes the fact that he's a class player.
Pilchards Posted 23 September, 2012 Posted 23 September, 2012 It's a real pity Rickie came back from the season break overweight.I know at one stage Adkins was putting feeders out that Lambert could be available as a rocket up his arse.He will soon be playing for England at this rate as the papers will start to mention it more.
saint si Posted 23 September, 2012 Posted 23 September, 2012 8 more to bring up his ton for the club... what a milestone that'll be in only his fourth season.
Badger Posted 23 September, 2012 Posted 23 September, 2012 Sorry but he'll score less than Speedie & Dixon. But 15-20 range I suspect.
shurlock Posted 23 September, 2012 Posted 23 September, 2012 8 more to bring up his ton for the club... what a milestone that'll be in only his fourth season. A far cry from northampton in the first round of the carling cup. He's almost destined to get it at Anfield on December 1.
Amesbury Saint Posted 23 September, 2012 Posted 23 September, 2012 Sorry but he'll score less than Speedie & Dixon. But 15-20 range I suspect. Was that when Speedie and Dixon played for Saints?!
Badger Posted 23 September, 2012 Posted 23 September, 2012 Was that when Speedie and Dixon played for Saints?! It was in no way intended as a serious comment,and should have used an emoticom, purely a reference to the idiotic comment made by Branfoot many years ago. (Its a generation thing ! ) Not sure if his comment now amuses or still rankles, probably both.
Secret Site Agent Posted 23 September, 2012 Posted 23 September, 2012 I'd like to see him scoring regularly, getting 28, with Rooney on 20, and a big broohaha about him not being picked for England.
pingwing Posted 23 September, 2012 Posted 23 September, 2012 At least 20 so far, he's tearing the prem up with intelligent play, brilliant to watch
Golac's Cunning Stunts Posted 23 September, 2012 Posted 23 September, 2012 All my mates laughed when I put him in my fantasy team. They ain't laughing now :-)
SaintsAhoy Posted 23 September, 2012 Posted 23 September, 2012 I predict Rickie will score 24 goals this season, with 6 of these coming from the penalty spot
Itchen_block4 Posted 23 September, 2012 Posted 23 September, 2012 20 would be a serious achievement. Over 25 is Van Persie/Aguero territory and there's no chance he'll get that. I think he'll beat Grant Holt though.
dronskisaint Posted 23 September, 2012 Posted 23 September, 2012 20+ With many more assists than the average goalscorer. I live near Norwich and I tell them Lambert is like Holt but with skill...
sperm_john Posted 23 September, 2012 Posted 23 September, 2012 seeing as i've got 2 quid on him at 150-1 on betfair, i'm hoping he finishes top scorer with a lovely 33 goals lol
Saint86 Posted 24 September, 2012 Posted 24 September, 2012 It would be a dream him he got top scorer. Literally he should just retire. Golden boot in all divisions and no caps for England. Considering he gave up football and worked in a factory to get where he is today... he is already a legend and a fantastic role model. He will always be a saint when he's done and it almost feels like he is getting everything he deserves season by season. I don't think you can doubt his determination to achieve his goals nor his ability and work ethic to actually achieve them. He says he wants the golden boot and to get an England cap... I would not bet substantially against him. He'll get 20+ no prob if he stays injury free. But I want to see him and Adam in an England team together. **** it if we go down.. but those 2 in white would make any season for me.
