SnowballSvlad CjelliMr Angry And so another thread falls to that crippling disease; Snowballstatitis.
Indeed - it assumes that just one measure (goals) are all that counts, wheras Mick McCarthy has been singing the praises of Doyle all season for the way he holds the ball up and keeps possession whilst others join the attack.
But as that can't be measured in numbers it doesn't count.
And where exactly are Wolves in the Prem?
Oh yes, second bottom with a GD of -17, Doyle has 2 Prem goals in 18 Starts this season.
Of course he's a great player, loved him to bits, but it's this list that says a strikers job is to score goals
and when Shane was working like a trojan for the team and NOT scoring, you all reminded me, of, what
was it again? Oh, yes, "A strikers job is to score goals and Long isn't doing it."
Well this year, his fourth year in the Prem, just like his second year in the Prem, Doyle is failing to score goals.
So, right now, if you had the choice of one and one only of either player playing for Reading, which one would you have; Doyle or Long?
