Doesn't he come up with the Goals when we need them?
Everytime he's scored a Hattrick we've won, all of which crucial games in the season. His Freekick sounded sublime, last time i saw him do that was Away Vs Kiddersminster... which again was a vital goal.

We'll miss him against Walsall, although i think Bradbury and Goater could perform well together if Wayne isn't fit in time.

I would be worried if we lost when someone scores a hatrick!

 

[Southendsleeper]

4 goals in 3 games...

Bradbury and The Goat for Saturday? Arent they similar style of players?

 

[silentshrimper]

Wow go eastwood, we will miss him but bradbury will come inad do the job I think, he looked sharp with a good touch and pass when he came on v rotherham.

 

[Wickford Blue]

Goater and Bradbury similar players but they will scare the sh*t out of the Walsall defense, seen Bradbury a couple of times and although he is not as skillful as Freddy he is direct and I think it will work okay!

Come on you Blues what a result

 

[andrew_sthnd]

WAHOO!! just a shame he has got his fifth yellow as he was turning in some impressive performances

I agree with you there - maybe the best bet would be Goater and Lawson up front, with Bradbury and the (hopefully) fit again Gray on the bench?

 

[EastStandBlue]

If Bradbury Edges out Lawson i'll eat my Season Ticket card thing...

 

[silentshrimper]

Maybe Lawson with bradbury would be food for thought?

Harsh on goater though who is getting the goals.

Only an opinion mate

Goater has to play, as he scored again today.

Shame about Freddy, but i would rather him miss that game than many we have left, as lets be fair, Walsall are sh!t.

 

[Soton Blue]

If Gray is available it may be his pace taht will secure a starting berth. Will keep Freddy fresh for Col U.

don't agree with that - he was anonymous today. His goal was a 3 yard header that even ORM could've scored.

He's too old and slow to chase down defenders / loose balls, whereas Bradbury has looked sharp every time he's come on.

Even if Gray is fit I reckon he'll be on the bench. Goater and Bradbury to start.... hopefully we can capitalise on their terrible recent form...

 

[Andy_S]

Even with his goals recently (although all have been tap ins) I'd be controversial and go with Bradbury and Lawson to be honest.


Anyone know how often Bradbury & Goater played up front together at Man City? I know they've played a bit together but not sure just how much.

The Goat and Bradbury made 17 appearances together at Manchester City. In six of these 17 games, one of them was substituted at some point. There were a further three games where the Goat started and Bradbury came on as a sub to join him.

In that overall total of 20 games where they played alongside one another, The Goat scored 10 goals and Bradbury scored 7.

All this happened between March and October 1998, when they were so much younger....

 

[Its grim up north!]

I dont see how peolpe think the Goat and Bradbury play the same kind of game?

From what I have seen of Bradbury he is fast and very lively.

As where the Goat is.............well, not so fast!

 

[EastStandBlue]

The thing that worries me is Walsall are more of a blunt edge side... They have got absolutely nothing upfront after the departures of Leitao and Fryatt, so will more than likely come to Roots Hall with 10 defenders and a Keeper, and without Freddy's cutting edge i'm worried we'll fail to score.
