[Ed]

When players like Sticks make it into the top 50, you can see just how badly we've done for strikers throughout our clubs history.

[Bantam Of The Opera]

Plus Stuart McCall 19th highest City scorer of all time :D

[Mallorcabantam]

Some of these names bring back good memories, thanks for the list

[Rick]

If you look at Lee Mills you have to remeber that the 34 goals he scored were in just 2 seasons, one of which he fell out with Mr Jewell so hardly got played. I'm struggling to see Danny Forrests name on that list.
Deano should move up a few places before hes done, I think he could even make the top 10!

[Bantam Of The Opera]

Mills record just out of interest was:-

Played........81
Scored........34

a strike rate of a goal of 1 every 2.4 games

[Bantam Of The Opera]

Another sad fact is Ed that any new striker next season could break into the top 100 if they manage 20 goals next season.

[Rick]

Stat man (Bantam of the Opera), can you give me the goals to games ratio of the following strikers for comparision or let me know where to find the info.

John Hendrie,
Robbie Blake,
Ashley Ward,
Paul Jewell,
Bobby Cambell
and finally Dean Windass.

[Ed]

Ashley ward must be about 1 in 50

Your being kind there Ed, I would of said 1 in 100!

[Bantam Of The Opera]

I can indeed Thorney



John Hendrie,

Played...........212
Scored............59

Ratio 1 every 3.6


Robbie Blake,

Played...........175
Scored............46

Ratio 1 every 3.8


Ashley Ward,

Played............90
Scored............20

Ratio 1 every 4.5

Paul Jewell,

Played...........303
Scored............66

Ratio 1 every 4.6


Bobby Cambell

Played...........319
Scored...........143

Ratio 1 every 2.2


and finally Dean Windass.

Played...........170
Scored............55

Ratio 1 every 3.1


Although interestingly enough prior to this season deano had scored 27 in 126 so his ratio for the 04/05 season was 1 every 1.57 games!!!!

[Barmy]

so even tho its his best goal scoring season, ratio to gettin goals has gone up? strange.

[Bantam Of The Opera]

No because before this season his goal to game ration was 4.67.

[Rick]

I bet if you took the goals score by Jewell before Christmas and compared it to the number of games before christmas I bet he'd have a 1 in 1 ratio. I remember him getting 2 hat tricks in the 1st 2 away games of the season before. One at Chester then one at Plymouth.

Thanks for the info BOTO!

[Bantam Of The Opera]

Pleasure glad your still awake ;)

[Bantam Of The Opera]

Considering that at least 30 of those games have been 10 minute run outs where he's had little chance to make an impression...
Anyway, City use him wrongly. He's not particularly strong, but quite skilful and has a yard of pace. We should try playing it either over the top or through the middle to him, so that he can actually use his pace against defenders, rather than hoofing it up to him and expecting him to hold it up.

[Parrot]

Spot on Bantamtim,

We seem to do that with most of our smaller, skillful players ie knock the ball long to them!

Forrest usually comes on when were chasing games & the rest of the team are desperately pumping high balls forward, or swing high crosses into the box.

Players like Forrest, Sanasy & Robbie Blake need the ball playing to feet or through balls into space.

Doesn't anyone think Forrest could do a good job on the wing?

[Serium]

1st!!!

[Barmy]

Deano has already got 9, which puts him up into 16th!!

How high can he get by end of season??
Top 10 easily..:D
