Its the goals he will create for others which will be the key

The ball will now "stick" a bit up top which will allow the midfielders to makeruns into the box and create more goalscoring opportunities.

(These may not be counted as direct assists before someone gets on Soccerbase)

- in the Prem though (n/m) (NCFC) - scruffy, Sep 2, 09:43:37
- A more interesting stat (NCFC) - Holden Caulfield, Sep 2, 09:19:54
  - (or maybe a suggestion that a role should still be found for Russell? (NCFC) - Tricky Hawes, Sep 2, 09:24:12
    - Well, yes indeed (NCFC) - Holden Caulfield, Sep 2, 09:25:33
      - I know. That's the reason for my post (NCFC) - Tricky Hawes, Sep 2, 09:28:08
        
        If he is going to persist with Clingan/Fozzy then (NCFC) - Holden Caulfield, Sep 2, 09:32:50
        
        Personally I'd rather see Russell in ahead of one of Clingan or Fozzy (NCFC) - Tricky Hawes, Sep 2, 09:34:54
        
        Russell doesn't score goals from midfield either though (NCFC) - mr carra, Sep 2, 09:50:13
        
        Didn't he get quite a few for Stoke in his last season there? (n/m) (NCFC) - Tricky Hawes, Sep 2, 09:54:52
        
        To answer my own question - 7 (NCFC) - Tricky Hawes, Sep 2, 09:58:06
        
        but wasn't that 7 the highest total of his career? (NCFC) - mr carra, Sep 2, 10:03:51
        
        Guess the point is - have any of them ever scored that many in a season? (NCFC) - Tricky Hawes, Sep 2, 10:05:55
        
        I'm not denying that..... (NCFC) - Johnny Comecardiff, Sep 2, 10:00:52
        
        No, I agree. Just taking slight issue with Mr Carra's assertion above that (NCFC) - Tricky Hawes, Sep 2, 10:03:17
        
        Is also my opinion. (NCFC) - Johnny Comecardiff, Sep 2, 09:52:47
        
        At the start of the season i was happy with those 2. (NCFC) - megson, Sep 2, 09:38:57
  - Two scoring 30 each? Are you mad? (n/m) (NCFC) - Buckscanary, Sep 2, 09:21:24
    - Exactly (n/m) (NCFC) - Holden Caulfield, Sep 2, 09:24:28
      - And what's the going rate for goal scoring midfielders? (NCFC) - Johnny Comecardiff, Sep 2, 09:34:09
        
        We've sort of got one though, haven't we? (n/m) (NCFC) - Tricky Hawes, Sep 2, 09:36:48
        
        Russell, I presume. (NCFC) - Johnny Comecardiff, Sep 2, 09:40:45
        
        1 in 7 is actually OK for a midfielder isn't it? (NCFC) - Tricky Hawes, Sep 2, 09:50:02
        
        Yep..... (NCFC) - Johnny Comecardiff, Sep 2, 09:51:18
        
        Goals from wide players, Centre halfs at set pieces and the odd rasper from a full back (n/m) (NCFC) - DiscoDaleGordon, Sep 2, 09:52:36
        
        We don't have those either though (NCFC) - Holden Caulfield, Sep 2, 10:03:46
        
        Semi vs Colchester? (n/m) (NCFC) - Tricky Hawes, Sep 2, 10:04:34
        
        Probably - and that was his sole goal of last season (NCFC) - Holden Caulfield, Sep 2, 10:06:49
        
        (or, briefly, Taylor.) (n/m) (NCFC) - Tricky Hawes, Sep 2, 10:07:43
        
        yes but, 2 so far this season? (n/m) (NCFC) - megson, Sep 2, 09:41:41
        
        The evidence is enormous..... (NCFC) - Johnny Comecardiff, Sep 2, 09:46:31
        
        What's Clingan? 1 in 30? (NCFC) - Holden Caulfield, Sep 2, 09:47:15
        
        Which adds up to.... (NCFC) - Johnny Comecardiff, Sep 2, 09:50:38
        
        Well, in my opinion, Fozzy stops none (NCFC) - Holden Caulfield, Sep 2, 10:02:28
        
        tis an interesting question too........ (n/m) (NCFC) - megson, Sep 2, 09:55:38
- at a higher level though? (n/m) (NCFC) - megson, Sep 2, 09:13:27
