idiots doubting earnie

He has scored more goals than any 1 in league. He has averaged 1 in 2 for last two years. He deserves a run and miller deserves a brake. I'm not anti miller or loved up with earnie from the past. I'm just pissed off again we let lead slip twice and looking at facts

When Forest offered Earnie a lower deal, can you name all the Champ teams that were interested.

Us and errrm, well, errm...

Still, it's impossible to argue against logic that claims playing Earnie would cause us not to let leads slip.

Scoring two away from home and it's because earnie didn't play :?

Im not anti earnie but everyone know his ability to hold up the ball is minimal, very minimal.
We needed a sub to come on and keep the ball not lose it.

Not saying it caused the result but we needed someone to chase the balhl olding up is great but miller wasn't doing that. All last night was attacking bra our defence again. They not as quick to come forward in numbers when you have a proven goalscorer on halfway line ready to chase the ball on the counter. He will still hive any defence a run for its money after 60 mins

But that's where your argument falls down :roll:

I love Earnie but he hasn't got the pace to worry defenders any longer, yes he would get the odd goal but the systems that Malky favours aren't geared around a goal poacher, it's all about running the channels and dropping off defenders, that simply isn't (and never has been) Earnie's game.

Earnie could have signed for forest, cov, millwall, blackpool, pompey , They all wanted him these are facts but he signed for us as he wanted to come home and be near his mum/family for his own reasons, so for them who say nobody else wanted him you are clearly deluded trust me :lol:

Chopra, Dale and Earnie were all goal poachers. nightmare to pick up in the box

There the similarity ends.

Chops and Carl would run their bollocks off to close down opposing defenders when
they had the ball.

Not quite sure which Robert Earnshaw you were watching when he was at his peak?

I don't doubt the fella at all, & i find it very puzzling that he can't even make the bench.
He must have fallen out & pissed off MM big time, that's the only reason i can think of!

Anyone who saw him play against Costa Rica knows he's got no first touch anymore. I know he's never had the best first touch, but now it's even more awful!

And btw, this is from someone who loaths Kenny Miller.
