Helgusson has ploughed a lone furrow up front for much of the season, and gets so
much flak its untrue. Yet his goals per game average is fast approaching 1 in 2.

Yet Nicky Maynard comes here, plays a few games and doesnt score, but everyone
can somehow 'see' he's making great runs, finding space, so he is forgiven for his
blank start (as he should be)

Now Velikonja scores a hat-trick in a game and still gets criticised??

Its as if a portion of our supporters wont accept that not all strikers need to be speedsters

Ask Millwalls defenders what Velikonja's running was like, how easy he was to pick
up.

Kenny Dalglish, Mickey Quinn, John Aldridge to name a few... lacked pace. But were absolutely superb forwards...
Cos the first five yards was in their heads


It's hard to argue against that tbh. Many clubs would pay an enormous amount for someone who doesnt do much apart from putting the ball in the net. Lineker, Greaves etc etc
