    3 starts and 16 sub appearance coming on around 80-85mins. Not saying he's the answer for now, but let's not write him off now.

    Almost unbelievably, it's even more depressing than that.!!

    The stats are:
    Platt - 2
    Cody - 1
    ROD - 1 (League Cup v Bury consolation goal, against a team just promoted from League 2)
    Jeffers - 0

    McShffrey does have 3 but realistically we cant't expect him to play up front for more than the odd game, so our non-Juek strikeforce has contributed 4 goals this season, onlyu 3 of which were in the league. 3 goals in 25 league games - that's less than one for every 8 games! and just one third of Juke's own personal total!

    If he goes, we have had it.

    League stats are:

    Juke - 9 in 25 starts (1 every 0.36 games)
    Platt - 2 in 7 starts (0.29)
    Cody - 1 in 8 (0.125)
    Sheffers - 2 in 16 (0.125) *though most games not up front
    ROD - 0 in 6 (0.00)
    Jeffers - 0 in 0

    I may get shot down for saying this, but does anyone else think of Thierry Henry when they see ROD play?? (takes cover)

    Nah, McSheffrey blatantly is a striker! If we've learnt anything in the past 4 games, it's that we'll get 3 times more out of McSheffrey playing up front at this stage of his career than we will in a deeper role. It's his natural position, he's being dying to play there for years, and he wasn't working in the hole as he didn't have the engine (or the space created by King) any more. We just need to keep getting him into areas where he can do damage, like the last 4 games. The bloke well and truly has his shooting boots on, and his finishing is as good as it's ever been and I believe he is a "natural goalscorer"; just look at his career numbers when up front! If anyone can get us out of this mess, it's Sheff up front.

    To be fair, his career numbers when up front are pretty poor. His best spells have been out wide, and when taking pens. That was when he had pace though.

    Ah but I remember having a huge disagreement with you about him and his S.R. ages ago shmmeee, and I know you hated him and Doyler, so I won't go through all that again! All I'll say is-I disagree

    No sheffers averaged about 1 in 2 starts when played up front as opposed to about 1 in 3 starts out wide in his first spell.
