doddisalegend Posted 23 September, 2012 Share 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 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wes Tender Posted 23 September, 2012 Share 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 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olallana Posted 23 September, 2012 Share 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?

miserableoldgit Posted 23 September, 2012 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SNSUN Posted 23 September, 2012 Share 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 Share Posted 23 September, 2012 I also tip Mayuka to get at least ten. (Of course all this is dependant on injuries and game time.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turkish Posted 23 September, 2012 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shurlock Posted 23 September, 2012 Share 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 Share 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.

Saint86 Posted 24 September, 2012 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
