lack of goals

Has any one looked at Craig Mackail-Smith's championship record last season

Played 45 games - Scored 9 goals

Compared to miller who played 40 games and scored 10 goals . - and CMS is also known as a goalscorer in this division, yet im sure he didn't have the abuse and criticism Miller had!

In all competitions CMS scored 10 goals in 50 games and Miller scored 11 goals in 50 games. Very tight. :ayatollah:

Didn't flop, I think CMS was played in a wrong style of play, big targetman like himself in a formation where it suits attractive passing football he doesn't really stand a chance does he?

Since when has the pacey, tricky 5ft 10 CMS a target man

Its well documented that KM didn't have the best season, but certainly a great start at West Ham got me thinking....
Here come all the goals, he is a proven striker, at this level he can do a lot of damage.

He was unlucky at times but also should of been more clinical.

Good luck Kenny and thanks for your efforts :ayatollah:

A better comparison would be CMS and Whitts and personally I would take Whitts. Miller was an out and out striker who did not have the game to goals ratio that was expected of him. He would not have been getting us promotion this coming season so had to go. Simple!

What good would any midget be when all we done for 90% of games was smash it up to him vs 6ft 2inch center halfs it wouldnt have made any diffrence weather it was kenny miller or roger miller ffs the shite dire hoofball didnt help at all for 50% of the season and CMS played out of the right wing for most of last season anyway so how can u compare stats :shock:

Gutted Miller left..
Wish him all the best..
Laugh at the people who say 'Earnie is better' or 'Earnie might get a chance' you can have an opinion but hes poor at this level and should just leave now.

Targetman? CMS is a nippy little nuisance not a targetman

But did CMS have the same level of expectation from his fans like Miller did?

They spent £2.5-3.25 million on him so I'd expect so yes.

What these facts show was that both had piss poor seasons in terms of goals :(
