Shane Long starts but WBA still loose? Maybe Stoke have the key to containing him? hmm

Quick, we must buy Shawcross! cheers

I refuse to admit you were right about him. Mad

by Great Leader Sprucenuce Thu Dec 06, 2012 3:50 pm

Long is average..... he's basically a poor mans version of Prime Bellamy.

Works hard, very pacy and works the channels extremely well but let's be honest he's a mid table player at best.

I don't want to hear crap about how he's carried West Brom either.... Lukaku and Odemwingie have scored more or similar and the midfield has been all about Morrison, Yacob and Mulumbu.

West Brom will falter soon anyways and get 8th at best in fact they are already starting to do this.

In a word Fatman is clueless :coffee:

He is the current Paul Dikov :bow:

RVP (league top scorer): 15 apps (2 off the bench) for 10 goals 5 assists=1 goal/game
Shane Long: 16 apps (3 off the bench) for 7 goals 4 assists=0.688 goals/game
Peter Odemwingie: 12 apps (3 off the bench) for 4 goals 3 assists=0.583
Fernando Torres: 16 apps (4 off the bench) for 5 goals 4 assists=0.5625
Romelu Lukaku: 14 apps (9 off the bench) for 5 goals 1 assist=0.429goals/game
This includes league and cup games

based on this Long has the best G+A/game ratio in WBA, is WBAs top scorer and second most assist (only one behing Brunt)

Also remember in addtion to having the same mids supplying them, Lukaku and Odemwingie also have Long supplying them too and of his four assists two were for Lukaku and one was for Odemwingie

And if Long we're so average why has he forced Odemwingie to the wing, Lukaku onto the bench and limited Rosenburg to 8 apperances (7 as a sub and was subbed off on his one start)?

WBA were never going to to finish in the European places, at absolute best they were going to compete for the Europa spot. Although as far as faltering is concerned, theres another team that wears black and white stripes which should be a little more concerned

by Great Leader Sprucenuce Fri Dec 07, 2012 3:16 pm

Why should we be concerned? we won't finish higher than 11th anyways :coffee:

In talks with Hull Laughing

Fitty crying himself to sleep tonight.

by Shed Sat Jan 11, 2014 12:27 pm

He's too shit even for a mid-table club. Relegation fodder his only refuge.

Glad to see Sean Lond moving up in the world.

by Shed Tue Jan 14, 2014 1:25 pm

Agreed. I'm sure every young Irish laddy dreams of one day moving from mediocre mid-table outfit to a relegation dogfighter. Shawn an inspiration to them all Proud

dafaq is all this noise?

i refuse to believe any of this, it must all be some scheme the two of you have thrown together

by Kick Wed Jan 15, 2014 2:17 pm

You're right, I am currently in England with Shed, we decided to dring Seb Lonb to Hull to see if he'd sign for them, he almost has. Laughing

I honest to god, only just realised, his name ISN'T SEAN LONG.

I thought it was, all this time! Turns out it's Shane! Laughing

by Shed Thu Jan 16, 2014 2:50 am

Fitty, as a Christmas present this year I'm going to get you a Sean Ling Hull kit complete with Skybet Championship patches emblazoned on the arms. What's your size?

by Shed Fri Jan 17, 2014 12:00 am
