SnowballWycombe Royal Seeing as you want to continue with your endless stats - show us the percentage of matches played in the Premiership....
56.6% of Doyle's games for Reading were in the Championship 65% of his goals (36 Championship goals v 19 Premiership)
73.3% of Long's games for Reading have been in the Championship 78% of his goals. 25 Championship goals v 7 Premiership
Seems that Long finds it almost the same scoring in the Premiership, whereas Doyle, by comparison, struggled.

cmonurz So you completely ignored my post (again) and moved on to a different angle (again). This time, you are comparing Shane Long to Wayne Rooney, who iirc scored 30-odd goals last season, and to Miroslav Klose, one of the highest scorers in international and World Cup history?

If the team is struggling (as we did post January 08 til end of that season) then goal scoring is going to be at a premium (Longy's goals actually kept us in the play off picture).

cmonurz Quit the personal digs, they are getting tiresome. You are continuing to ignore my posts to make further, different points of your own. This has been pointless for a while but even I'm done with it now.

Snowball HIS FULL READING CAREER IS 80 (83) = 93.83 Games = 32 Goals Or do you dispute that?

Ian Royal In fairness cmonurz... if you are going to exclude a number of games as an anomalous run, in this case Long's best scoring run, then you need to remove an equivalent number of games from his poorest goalscoring run.
Even if you did it from both the period before and after that purple patch I suspect it would still show Long's record is pretty poor when it comes to consistently scoring goals, let alone goals from open play.

I dispute this. Because it's your arbitrary assertion that a sub appearance equals a certain number of minutes on pitch and multiple sub appearances can be added together to form the equivalent of a starting appearance.
It is not an indisputable fact. Actually it is a pretty suspect and weak generalisation, taking no account of changing weather, pitch, personel (opposition plus team-mates) & game circumstances, let alone actual time on the pitch.

Bandini The obvious answer is to notice thatSnowball HIS FULL READING CAREER IS 80 (83)
And leave it at that, rather than trying to simplify the stats, and in so doing present them in a misleading way.

Those stats are BS and seriously over-estimate how much a sub plays.

Snowball McDermott had no alternatives to Long?
Not Rasiak - one option
Not Church - second option
Not Hunt - injured virtually all last season and only just coming back to fitness in the last few games
Not HRK - not really a striker
Not Kebe - not in anyway a striker
Not McAnuff - not in anyway a striker
Not a brought-in Loanee - yes it's really easy to just find someone better than we have on wages we can afford who is interested - afterall it was a great success with Thorvaldsson. This is not football manager. Besides, they involve bringing someone in and are not alternatives actually available.
Not a New Signing - see above.
Not Antonio - not a striker and only just breaking into the fringe of the team
Not Mooney - deemed not good enough, hence why he's been on loan in the division below not setting the world alight
Not Bignall - completely unproven and in need of experience at a lower level
Not Taylor - not a striker as I understand it and same goes as for Bignall otherwise
