His goal in February doesn't count either because he wouldn't have been playing if we'd signed Sergio Aguero.

I wonder what his goal scoring celebration will be when he does score? If I were him I'd point to the name on my back

This debate reminds me of Bobby Mitchell who played alongside Joe Waters.

Joe was the swashbuckling captain who burst forward, went on mazy dribbles and scored goals.

Bobby was the Niven figure, broke up play, won the ball and passed to Joe.

Whenever Bobby misplaced a pass, he was barracked by the crowd.  No-one noticed Joe's mistakes because we wore black tinted specs for Mitchell and rose tinted specs for Joe.

LJL is the hard working ball winner.  He needs a goal scorer alongside him - Connell hasn't scored for months but he is still a hero apparently.

They say strikers do best in pairs. Apparently at Grimsby it applies to non-strikers as well.

Surely you can't be called a striker if your goal ratio is 1 every 8 or 9 games?

What would that make Connell over the past 18 months? A goalkeeper?

Connell's record isn't much better over his career. The only time he's scored goals regularly was his season with us and he doesn't seem the same player now.

It is hard to argue with the stats that LJL has a better record over the past couple of years than Connell, but as mentioned previously one is loved and welcomed back as a hero and the other a whipping boy/ hate figure. We are all welcome to our opinions but where and when you voice them can be counter productive. Vocally at a game it should be nothing but 100% praising our players, including our strikers. I am not aware of any professional suddenly becoming better because a loudmouth from the stands states he is SH!T. There is no crisis and absolutely no need to panic, realism please fellow fishies, we are nowhere near full strength not playing our best but it is a long old season, and no I don't think we are champions material and I feel some are deluded with their expectations on here assuming we should be. Play offs would be a huge achievement again this year and players like LJL have shown in the past that they can play an active part in a team capable of achieving this.
