LJL is clearly never going to be a great goalscorer, but at this level, forcing defensive errors from opposition players is a big part of attacking and he's currently the only one of our strikers who has the physical presence to achieve this. A fit Pittman would offer a different proposition as he also looks strong but with an extra turn of pace.
It's maybe wishful thinking but I'm hoping that Pittman will turn into our major goal threat. He's got the pace and by most accounts, has the ability when he's fit. Just got to get him fit!

I think it's possible to debate on a fan forum which players we think should be in the team and which shouldn't, without people accusing others of "getting on his back". We all have our own opinions, it's a game of opinions and there will never be full agreement on things like team preference.
On the other hand, I don't think it's on for people to be openly barracking players at games or labelling them a disgrace or anything like that. I'm sure that all of the players give it 100% That shouldn't stop fans from having opinions and discussing them reasonably in open forum.
Very true - we have had one poster call LJL " a clown " which is completely over the top. LJL clearly gives 100% but is lacking in his ability to put the ball in the net on a regular basis. This is no basis for personal insults and does the poster no favours at all.

I didn't hear too much in the way of verbal attack with regard to LJL on Tuesday, even when he missed the best chance.
Funny about opinions and "hate figures", there was a guy behind me in the Upper Findus who moaned about how sh** Magnay was from start to finish, irrespective of what he actually did. I mean, that's ridiculous, as most (me included) think he's a good signing.
I hate to say it, but I do think we have a higher % or moronic "fans" than most

Another thing, when we are short of wingers, should we play LJL slightly wider?, as his pace looks to have improved, and when missing Neilson, MacKreth etc. he looks to be the only guy with the pace and strength to beat a man in a chase down the wing
He could still tuck in to be the target from goal kicks, or even look to a high wide ball (Calvin Andrew style from when he was on loan and we often hit him in wide areas from keepers kicks) This changes the angle of attack too

There is an old guy in front of me in the Upper Findus who constantly says " you're rubbish goalie " if ever any of McKeowns kicks goes wide or if he makes any kind of slip at all.

If you all got the intercourse off John-Lewis' back then maybe he'd start scoring? You know, not feeling quite under so much pressure? The fishy really is full of complete and utter fucktards these days.
It is not just his goal scoring record at Town but throughout his career but you are clearly a cluelessfucktard to even check.

My view is playing LJL for 90 mins over 46 games will not get you a league title. People compare him to Livvo, not only is it a ridiculous camparison of a much better player but Livvo didn't play anywhere near the ammount of games LJL did. He also played for a team battling relegation, not going for a league title.
Could we win a title with LJL in the SQUAD? I'm pretty sure we could.

Well I am entitled to my view.

Livvo appeared in 59 games during the 97-98 promotion season scoring 9 goals
