brummybloke Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 I think Bent has a knack for scoring opportunist goals and, with his strike ratio, will ultimately have proved a worthwhile buy. And lets face it, where would we be without the goals he's scored? Creeks and paddles springs to mind. A comment I did find interesting though, listening to the commentary the other day, came from Tony Morley who criticized DB for not sticking his head in where it hurts. There was a chance and he chose not to take it. He did'nt outright call him a bottler, but he remarked how you would never have seen Andy Gray or Withe (I think) ever do the same......which tbh I have to agree with. but you wouldnt have seen gary shaw stick his head in where it hurts. i can genuinley understand and even hoped he would make a challenge, but he isnt that sort of player, what is the point in him going for 5 50/50 balls per game and getting injured every other game? those players who go for anything and everything are people like heskey, they dont get many goals, and the reason for that is that they have expended so much on trying to win every 50/50 that they have **** all else to offer. 30 years ago when a 'war horse' such as andy gray or peter with would play with a small nippy forward and there was generally at least 1 winger who who slam the ball in from the angles 5 times per game. it worked because most teams did it. nowdays lok at most of the best forwards in the premier league, how many of those are players who go in for each 50/50? possibly rooney, who tends to get sent off / booked/ subbed after he has made his 3rd or 4th 50/50 as it normally means he is getting frustrated. van persie? not a challenger, he may throw the odd elbow or stick out the odd foot but is not a throw you head in where it hurts player nor aguero ba ? nope, dzeko ? nope i would say the 'top player who plays like this is.... andy carol. football has moved on where forcing the ball over the line will normally result in a free kick to the defending team. so while we can all look back on the days of gary thompson, cyril regis, withe, gray, mcinally the ones who have scored the most per game are platt, shaw, yorke, skillful players who didnt throw themselves at everything. i have not checked any stats for this its just my thoughts. but while giving 100% physically in each game makes players a fans favourite, nowdays it is more than just graft, there is also guile.

Mantis Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 I'm backing him to score 2 tonight. How anyone can slag him off is completely bizarre to meYeah but he aint a hard worker innit? What we need is a good old fashioned British striker who can put his body about. Who cares about the fact that he scores a goal every other game? If you don't put the effort in you're worthless innit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woodytom Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 Good Goal and great performance. Should have maybe had a couple more, but no complaints from me. It is possible to work hard for the team and still get goals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oaks Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 Whats that now 5 in 7 since coming back from injury, and 19 in 38 I think. I hope he can get about 17-18 now were creating a lot more for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodytom Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 Good lord Woody, I hope your hand is alright after all this waving. Sound as a pound. Hes finally doing what hes paid to do. You cant honestly say he was putting this kind of effort in a couple of months ago? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mantis Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 Finally? He's been doing his job ever since he arrived. 19 goals in 38 games proves this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjames333 Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 Bent is obviously class and doesn't just score against the shit teams. He's scored for us against Man Utd, Man City, Chelsea and Arsenal. So happy that the transfer rumours proved incorrect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrentVilla Posted February 2, 2012 Moderator Share Posted February 2, 2012 Yes he is and I still expect that to be resolved in the summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kidlewis Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 he scores 1 in 2, what more can people expect from him is beyond me. do they want 1 in 1? he'd be playing for United or Barcelona ffs. We need to ensure he keeps scoring and show him and the fans in the summer we plan to get some decent players in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need to ensure he keeps scoring and show him and the fans in the summer we plan to get some decent players in. People expect what hes currently delivering. Goals and playing well for the team. Well thats what I expect. He wasnt doing that earlier in the season when his goal scoring record was NOT 1 in 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
