dubai_phil Posted 15 August, 2008 Share Posted 15 August, 2008 Before this season started he had played 80 times with another 18 sub appearances. Cheers, that seems pretty close to 100. Especially as he had quite a few first team games out on loan. Probably more than Davies?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wildgoose Posted 16 August, 2008 Share Posted 16 August, 2008 Yes they are. The PROBLEM is I haven't seen an alternative. We are broke, the expenditure vs income is horrific for last year. The alternative "boards" appear to have made the mess Lowe left us with worse. Nobody has bought us or given us 10mil and I and many on here are struggling to find an alternative which is why although we are REALLY p*ssed that Lowe came back we have a grudging acceptance that there isn't really any choice. If we don't stem the losses we bleed to death. We undergo nasty radical surgery and we may survive. The only alternatives we have seen so far have been "should have kept NP", "shouldn't sell players" or simple "abuse" at Lowe for only wanting to protect his investment. Nothing actually creative that gets us out the sh*t. I like you hate it, but I see it as the only hope as I honestly do not believe that we would ever recover from administration. Getting out of it is NOT easy as others have found out. Other than backing Platini or lobbying for changes to the way TV money is allocated I just don't see an alternative.. That's about it I think! Frustrating as it is.......good down to earth post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Professor Posted 16 August, 2008 Author Share Posted 16 August, 2008 Stern's name on the team sheet changes the whole look of the team and will give any opponents, including Birmingham today, cause to worry. But I do just wonder how a thread I started about Stern has turned into another Lowe debate... I do enjoy Lowe debates, but it is also nice to have football and player threads that are Lowe-free. I feel Stern will score today, and I can see him having another 20 goal season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaintRobbie Posted 16 August, 2008 Share Posted 16 August, 2008 The OS quotes Poortvleit as saying that Stern could start against Birmingham. JP says Stern is 'back in the squad' from which we must conclude that up until this week, he was not. So what has changed. Stern's commitment in training is quoted as a reason, and his performance as sub at Exeter, but the other change could be Rasiak's move to Watford. Maybe that has cleared up who will be the other main striker with DMG. Simple fact that Stern is our most ecperienced and best striker. WE MUST NOT SELL HIM if we are to stand a slight chance at staying in this league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
