1 in 7 is actually OK for a midfielder isn't it?

(and it's mostly been playing for a pretty crap team....)

that would be 6 or 7 goals over the season from a midfielder - which is what Holden Caulfield above is suggesting we are missing, I think.

Here is another interesting stat...just 18 goals in his last 148 games (n/m) (NCFC) - Buckscanary, Sep 2, 09:12:22
- Its the goals he will create for others which will be the key (NCFC) - DiscoDaleGordon, Sep 2, 09:47:55
- 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

        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
