They end up that shape though.

Even if I was blind I could probably get someone to read me the facts, which happen to be a miserable 3 in 34 games. Do you understand that? His strike rate is less than 1 in 11. I've also seen him play enough times to know he poses no goal threat whatsoever.
now... something doesn't quite add up there....

And you'd base this on what? 5 mins of seeing Sordell actually playing :lol:

Just for the record I think Ngog has something about him but reckon he needs a manager like BSA to get it out, never in a month of Sundays under the great Pretender!
I'd ask the same question but say 'and you base this on what from Ngog?'

As 50s Quiff pointed out, his statistics are shameful.

Here's a statistic (without any numbers). We win more when Ngog plays than when he doesn't (probably).

I was merely answering the thread title

I used to think Coyle was a nice, clueless bloke

I'm coming around to thinking he's a stubborn bully

He can fcuk off

Agreed. He's spent £3/4M on a striker, stuck him on the bench or in the reserves, despite the fact that the players ahead of him aren't scoring, aren't playing well or don't belong to us.

Maybe Coyle didn't want to sign Sordell? Maybe it was forced upon him. Doubt it but there's that possibility as far as i'm aware.

Judging by Nixon's comments surrounding the signing, I find that highly unlikely.

I find it highly unlikely as well. At least if that was the case it wouldn't seem such a daft signing.

I think this is true of all coyles signings. All part of a dingle mafia conspiracy.

N'gog goes off = No outball. We stop creating chances. His finishing is poor, granted. But it's plainly obvious (so obvious it hurts my face) that he's our most prominent outlet up top.

Last night, that's rubbish. Ngog looked unfit and like his confidence is shot to pieces, outmuscled by their defenders and giving the ball away sloppily. Afobe had a lot more movement and pace. When him and petrov came on, it made a noticeable (positive) difference. But despite that, we still couldn't muster more than a few half chances. Very poor.

He's getting paid thousands for spending each day training, and yet I feel sorry for him. He was playing week in, week out and scoring regularly at this level last year. If he was still at Watford, there's a good chance he'd be first name on the teamsheet.

Instead, he came to Bolton.

I guess he may regret a decision made in haste: there aren't many industries where you up sticks within hours. At least he's got years in front of him - imagine if he'd made the same move with a wife and three kids settled at schools...
