Re: The Npower Championship 2010/11 Season

Sorry to dissapoint' date=' he's 20 - almost 21.

I think he'll push Haynes for a regular place in the starting line-up, better then Ched Evans so he's not far off a place in the Wales side either.

[b']I doubt he'll score more then 5 or 6 goals this season though for a side like Bristol City[/b].

and what is that meant to mean???

Re: The Npower Championship 2010/11 Season

Davies wants 5 or more players apparently.

whose everybodys bet for top goalscorer this season?

Id stick a quid on steve morison. Decent goal scoring record for Millwall and if they do well he could be a contender.

Smart money would have to go on Boyd though, i hope he brings his form down to England as i like him. TBH i thought he could have managed it at premier league level.

Yes, you are seeing right. They may get special dispensation from the Football League to break their transfer embargo to sign Jamie Ashdown, but they only have 13 players for tomorrow's game. And John Utaka is currently mulling over a move to Rangers or Blackburn, and K-P Boateng wants to go to Genoa, but they have received a higher offer from Lazio, which the club would obviously like to accept the highest bid, but Boateng has his heart set on Genoa. So it's strictly 11, but theres nothing stopping K-P and Utaka playing. Id imagine Portsmouth will be starting 3-4-3, as thats all the players they have.

Re: The Npower Championship 2010/11 Season

lmfao. i would love for those 13 players to go out tonight to celebrate still being a team and end up getting food poisoning.

Id throw them robbie sav and a couple of hundred K for tommy smith though.

Portsmouth have good players, Boateng, Wilson, Utaka and Mokoena are EPL quality, Nugent, Smith, Brown and Sonko should do the job at Championship level, but the point is, Boateng and Utaka will be on EPL wages, and Wilson Im sure will attract interest from the likes of maybe Fulham, who can promise higher wages. I think you can afford to be optimistic.

When he was at Wolves he scored a fair few goals, but he was at Wolves - like Iwelumo, Ebanks-Blake, Vokes & Keogh all scored bundles of goals, they ran away with the league by miles. Now at Bristol City i don't think he'll score more then 5 or 6, he's got the potential to score goals but in 5 months you've got to be a very good player to score more then that.

Mhm, I forgot about the 5 months bit.

Over a whole season then it will be about 10-15 goals, 5 months probably about 6 ish.

By the way, Keogh never scored that many goals, he was more of a play maker, he ran a lot.

Bloody hell, he's growing up fast Nearly 21, dayum.

He should be first team at Bristol, he played a few times in the Prem and played quite well, he just needs first team experience . I would loan Blakey out to a champo team in January if he doesn't pick up his form, but hey he is a natural goalscorer, something was wrong with him last year Vokes plays for wales anyway, Already has like 15 caps or something.

Sam Vokes: 16 Caps, 2 Goals

Compare that to the other Welsh strikers:

Jermaine Easter: 8 Caps, 0 Goals

Freddy Eastwood: 10 Caps, 4 Goals

Ched Evans: 12 Caps, 2 Goals

Simon Church: 8 Caps, 1 Goal

Craig Bellamy: 58 Caps, 17 Goals

Not bad compared to the others, he will be a good player but i'd give say two seasons before he can start being as clinical as he's capable of.

Can't belive Eastwood has 10 Caps, he was one of the worst strikers I've seen in a Wolves shirt, comparable to Ade Akinbiyi when he was about to leave. Saying that his debut was one of the best, I can only think of 2 that were better, Adlene Guedioura (Still plays with us) and the mighty Robbie Keane when he debutised against Norwich about 10 years ago.

Not too shabby, I agree with you, another couple of years and he should be pushing Doyle or Fletcher.

Wish him all the best in the 'Fizzy Pop' league, or Electric leage now xD

Re: The Npower Championship 2010/11 Season

Sam Vokes? The same guy who missed an absolute sitter against United in injury time:D Heskey would have scored that

[LiamSmith 2,088]

Re: The Npower Championship 2010/11 Season

Probably a bit of an outside bet but I think Martin Paterson will end up top scorer. He looked good for Burnley towards the end of the season. Aside from him I can only see Kris Boyd or Nicky Maynard being in contention.

Re: The Npower Championship 2010/11 Season

Nicky Maynard!!

there are plenty of other contenders, Boyd will be interesting to see how he actually does in the championship IMO a totally diff league than the SPL bar 3-4 teams maybe.

Another contender for me would be Billy Sharp he's at a very good side in doncaster who play some good stuff on their day.

I see they have Jamie Ashdown on the player profiles page again now so they're up to 14 players.

I don't know wether to be really optimistic as a Coventry fan 2moro or very worried. We all saw what Pompey did with their backs to the wall in the FA Cup last season.

Either way, it will just be great to be back at the Ricoh for a league game (however i'd really like a win)
