The Fish Seller 0 Posted January 3, 2009 [quote user="we are rubbish"][quote user="GJP"][quote user="we are rubbish"][quote user="GJP"] [quote user="Fabregas- Poor Mans Ian Crook"]Personally i would rather start a game with 10 men than start cureton. So i wouldn''t have wasted the money bringing him in. From our current squad, Lupoli and if he goes back one of the youth strikers. [/quote]Same. Playing Cureton is pretty much like playing with 10 men anyways and it''s easier to keep the ball without him. [/quote]is your name kermit,gonzo or miss piggy because you are a muppet my friend.Jamie scored 14 goals last season .he has started 3 games for the rodent this season,how on earth is that giving him a chance.I hope he moves to barnsley and scores shit loads of goals.Roeder is the worst man manager i have ever encounted and that includes that muppet grant.People like you should read satistics rather than talk shite![/quote]Here''s one for you, how many different league games did Jamie Cureton score in last season? I mean if you want to look at statistics then at least try to look at the ones that are important.And then if you want to look beyond stats you''ve only got to watch Cureton play to see how very little he does on the pitch. His few goals aren''t enough to justify his place in the team. It''s just really, really, really obvious.[/quote]you my friend are obviously a pratt,he might do little on the pitch but he scores goals,as of this moment in time we have fu@k all up front,you are a loser and its people like you who make this excuse of a board believe they are doing an ok job[/quote]Since Colchester JC has made the following appearances in a yellow shirt.Total apps- 21Mins on pitch- 950Goals - 0Matches started 9Sub- 12Sub-not used 3Jamie scored and was not played in the next match 0 times during this period (unlike certain others).GRmade Jamie Captain for the Ipswich match on the 13th April, a proud dayfor JC and hardly the behaviour of someone intent on destroying him.Duringthese matches the Clubs record was P24 W6 D5 L13 points = 23 points,points per game = 0.96, points per (46 game) season = 44 Relegationform.Then I looked at his record with BarnsleyTotal apps - 7Mins on pitch-533Goals-2strike rate 1 in 3.5 (JC''s career championship average rate coincidentally)Matches started -6As sub - 1Sub not used 0So Jamie has needed a whopping 1483 minutes of Championship football to score the two goals which some people seem to think is a pretty good return.Thewonderful new regime at Barnsley have got Jamie not into hotgoalscoring form as some might believe but playing to exactly hiscareer average for this division that is 1 goal in every 3.5 games.As a 1 in 3.5 Champs striker JC is decidely average at 12-14 goals per season.Wewould need to field four strikers each match with this strike rate toachieve a goal scoring record good enough to challenge for promotion or a minimum of two to avoid relegation.Asa comparison Leroy Lita and Robert Earnshaw are both 1 in 1.8 gamestrikers at this level but again the mathematics tell me we need twosuch strikers per game to compete for promotion.We are in trouble but Jamie Cureton is not the answer except as a third striker behind two more competent goalscorers.Ithink there''s still a place for him at our club but that place isn''tneccesarily in the starting lineup and certainly cannot be main striker.Now remind me again how many minutes was Earnshaw on the pitch last week?

BGG&YPOS 0 Posted January 3, 2009 [quote user="Binky"] From today''s Pink Un home page:The other option up front is out-of-favour Arturo Lupoli, with Roeder not tempted to recall Jamie Cureton from his loan spell at Barnsley, where he has scored in the last two games but is ineligible in the cup trip to West Ham today.“No - he can stay there for three months and see what happens after,” he said.(I think Cureton can already see what will happen after Glenn - if you are still manager that is).[/quote] So is GR expecting us to still be in the cup in 3 months? I cannot see why he will not let him play for Barnsley v Hammers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As proven by the fact we''re still struggling despite having: Lita, Sibierski, Lupoli and Cureton. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
