yep and he scored just as often when playing in defense as up front

in fact our record with Dublin up front is very poor. Some chap did some analysis on the pinkun message board.

The conclusion: Dublin was far better in defense. And we barely gained any points when he started up front.

        No it isn't (NCFC) - Old Git, Jun 29, 14:32:51
      - different type of player... now we need a decent target man (NCFC) - phrankin, Jun 29, 14:25:22
        
        We've got Dublin and Brown. Don't need a target man. (n/m) (NCFC) - LincolnshireCanary, Jun 29, 14:30:17

        Absolutely right (n/m) (NCFC) - Old Git, Jun 29, 14:34:48
