Kevin Davies

Bolton are letting him go at the end of the season. Worth a punt? I'd have him in the squad over tudgay and Derbyshire any day.

On the facts discussed, poor old pablo is correct. And no - we should never sign davies.

Happy to take your word for that webbo having only ever seen him when you played against us, i am in no position to judge him on his all round game.

What facts? Sammon has more goals than Cox is a fact. Cox has more assists is a fact. Cox has won more games this season that Sammon is a fact. These are all facts being discussed.

Or can we only use one fact to try and win an argument? If I say Cox has more hair than Sammon and therefore he is a better player is that the end of it? I don't want to hear about other facts such as goals scored or assists etc. They are irrelevant!

Is the Fact that Fishy is just a slaphead that is crap sufficient? Or the fact that many sheep fans have no faith in him and think he's poor value for money another FACT or the one where all reds fans think Coxy is really good FACT.

One of your posters poked fun at Sammons scoring record. I was merely pointing out that you have a striker who's record is worse. This was the only thing i was referring to . A couple of you clearly didn't like this FACT so tried to throw other things in which were not relevant to what your poster started. So stillhate was correct in saying this was the fact being discussed and not what you were throwing in to try and detract from it.

Cant even be @rsed with pep. His lack of understanding the difference between opinion and fact is evident.

I get that Pablo and that is fair enough. I am more than happy to accept that Sammon has more goals, albeit in more games, than Cox. But I'm sure what Webbo and certainly I was trying to get across is that goals are not the only indicator of success, even for a striker. Cox should be scoring more goals for us, as should Blackstock. Sharp was scoring for fun but has barely played in the last two months. But our strikers do add other things and if we're winning I don't care who gets the goals. It's the same with Sammon I'm sure. He may not be a prolific striker (like K Davies) but if his strength and aerial prowess are creating goals for others then great. I'm not so sure that is the case with Sammon. That's what Blackstock and Henderson should do for us, but have not done until recently.

Anyway, no harm meant

Pablo, the fact that people have a collective opinion on something is indeed a fact in itself. The fact that you wish to dismiss it is your choice. So my lack of understanding is may not be as evident as you believe!

No harm done

I agree with what you say and other factors should be taken into account.

Your guy was trying to take the pee out of his scoring record when you have a "striker" with a worse one.

Sammon splits opinion. Many slating him as not good enough and i think his price tag bumps that opinion up. We haven't spent that much on a striker for quite some time so expect a lot more than they are seeing. We get the likes of Ward for £250k or whatever we paid so when we spend this amount a world beater is expected. I don't think he is worth what we paid but he brings more to the team IMO than Theo or Tyson.

I must admit I thought Sammon would be quite good when you first bought him. I watched him at Wigan and thought he had potential to be a tidy player, even though he's unlikely to be prolific. It hasn't worked brilliantly for him yet but I do wonder if he suits your style of play? Ward is a very good player at this level and I would have thought having someone far more mobile upfront would work better. The trouble with Tyson (I haven't seen enough of Theo) is that he is all about pace and doesn't have much else to his game. He is exceptionally quick but rarely did the right thing infront of goal for Forest. I think at a lower level in League One, where he should have a bit more time he might do ok.
