    The New Useless Website does not tell you

    Also the New Useless Website still puts the scores wrongly for away matches

    When we win 1-0 it shows as 0-1 !!!!
    That is correct. The home side's score should be shown first - as in Doncaster Rovers 1 Brentofrd 2

    On here its sometimes wrong, but it should always be home team first, much easier to understand.

    This is no coincidence as clayton gets to goalscoring positions 3 times more anyone else.
    For example Clayton will finish 10% of his 6 chances while farid will finish 50% of his 1.
    Alagui hadnt yet got the game time Donaldson has or as the main striker,i reckon he'd score more,wether he'd have the same amount of chances or not,he wouldnt waste as many.
    Donaldson is getting praise for getting in the right positions all the time but not converting enough

    I agree, but it's all academic now as Alagui is going to be out for some time.
    What can be asserted without proof can be dismissed without proof

    You think he will do well... You think he will surprise a few of us.
    I'd rather he didn't surprise us then and does indeed do well.


    bugger, more than I thought... Meant to quote 'Hanwell'.

    It is NOT easier

    You always have your own team first

    Then when you copy it into Excel you just add up one column for Goals For and one for Goals against !!!

    Chest infection? He was on the bench wasn't he? Who picks a sub with a chest infection? Did the doctor give him a 45 minute course of antibiotics and say he'd be better in time for the second half? If this is true it's plain stupid .
    If we beat Southend.

    Bit harsh, that miss seemed to me that the bloke was trying too hard and was gripped by nerves. Its unusual for you to "write a bloke off" for one miss. Have you seen alot of him for the dev squad or something? From the glimpses i have seen of German he looks alright and i think he would have offered more than Hayes has so far.

    Yes quite amazing from someone who continues to support Clayton who does the same in most games,German is many years younger than Clayton and has played at a higher level.Would like to see German given a chance.

    So would i mate, could tell that he was nervous and desperate to impress during the Crawley game. I dont think he did any better or worse than Dallas on the night but on this thread Dallas is getting rave reviews. Seems odd.

    I am a pragmatist . I would love us to have other options than Clayton, but we haven't and I can't see us binning one of our highest paid players with one more season yet on his contract.

    We need 4 strikers who know how to score goals.

    CD is a 12-15 goal a season man at best in our league and we need to find at least one more.

    German is an unknown quantity but this is a tough profession and he was given a wonderful opportunity and blew it.

    Hopefully he will come again but I am only interested in the mess we currently have to endure with our strikers and I honestly don't see German as providing an immediate solution. We need someone who can score goals NOW.

    Maybe Spencer will help but I see him as a lower cost option and an educated gamble at best.

    We caught a cold with our last 2 experienced loan strikers in Morrison and Clarkson but given our circumstances and Hayes inability to contribute to the level we need the money had, yes HAD to be found within the remaining playing budget to fill the gap with a proven goal scorer.

    They are out there but cost at least 3-4 k a week but for whatever reason, maybe good, maybe bad it hasn't happened.

    It is all very well criticising UWE but maybe in this instance he hasn't been supported as he should have been. I am sure if he had 2 strikers he could rely on then he would play them but he currently doesn't.

    I've said this before but if it really is down to £5k a week for a striker who could get us promoted which would equate to £100k in total some or all of which would in all probability be recovered in gate receipts as we started actually winning games I cannot understand why the funds are not available.

    Problem as I see it is he can't find one that fits the bill and scores the goals needed, who at £5k a week will guarantee us the goals put of interest?

    because if that £100k doesnt work then its "oh just another £100k" and if that doesnt work repeat over and over. we've already got a budget above our means thanks to a generous man that should get us challenging for at least the playoffs, if uwe misspends it he'll be struck off and we'll try and find someone who can spend it better.

    Correct but we'll still have presumably unwanted forwards on high wages that we have to ship out unless the new Manager can get them to deliver.

    Agree with a lot of that, i still think your being harsh on German though, the fella impressed away at Bournemouth last season and came out with pride a few days prior at Orient (when most others didnt) i thought his general play (in his short cameo) was decent against Crawley also, 3 games and he hasnt let us down yet,i think he could feel hard done by when you say he blew his chance.
