cmonurz Above all else, the very fact that anyone has the time to list all of a striker's goals in his Reading career, plus a description of each, when he is in the 6th year of that career, should tell us that he hasn't scored enough.

Longy has had 80 starts, a fair few in cup matches under Coppell where we put out the second team.
I thought it would be interesting to see just what kind of goals Longy has scored,
since the BS view is either he score 95% of his goals from two feet out, or they
are penalties or free-kicks, or from free-kicks. Both views are false.
An average distance only a couple of yards different from Gylfi (taking out Gylfi's three scored free-kicks)
I find that VERY interesting. And Gylfi's three in open play 35-22-22 yards are what put his average out there.
Without those 3, on average he actually scores from CLOSER in than Shane!
What I LOVE is the way Shane is pilloried for not scoring from open play when 29/32 goals, I think ARE from open play
Gylfi scored 22 goals, 7 penalties and three free-kicks, so just 12/22 in open play or 54%. Compared to Shane's 91%

You know as well as i do, the open play criticism isn't something that's 'always' been labelled towards Shane Long. Merely this season where Saturday and into the 15th game of the season he scored his first goal in open play.
So again that comparison is a nonsense.

Alan Partridge 1/3 of a season to get 1 is slightly concerning. No matter how well certain aspects of his play have improved. Great goal saturday might well start one of those bursts that he tends to have. So Yep I agree form is temporary, class is permanent. Why Shane for me often falls into that 'form' category as he tends to go through little burts of good and bad.

Saturday, one player on 3 goals moved to four, 2 players on 2 (one Shane) moved to 3.
That now puts Shane in the top 35% of all strikers so far this season. Oh and who thought we should sign Hulse?

cmonurz You've ignored all of my points and moved on to something else. Bad form.

Snowball 77 Games 27 goals = a goal every 2.85 games
Doyle got 56 goals in 145 (17) =148 games = a goal every 2.64 games
HUGE DIFFERENCE, right?
