Thracian Posted 26 August 2008 Posted 26 August 2008 Joe Fox on TB drew attention to the following info on a BBC site which makes rare and wondrous reading for City fans... ============================================================================= Leading scorers in division one: ==================== Fryatt Leicester 4 Lambert Bristol Rovers 4 Forster Brighton 3 Hughes Oldham 3 Taylor Oldham 3 Akinfenwa Northampton 2 Brown Hartlepool 2 Carlton Carlisle 2 Cox Swindon 2 Duffy Bristol Rovers 2 Gillespie Colchester 2 Graham Carlisle 2 Ibehre Walsall 2 Liddell Oldham 2 Mackail-Smith Peterborough 2 It may well cost me a pint if he keeps it up but it's great to see Fryatt making his mark again. It's been a long time but it was clear he would benefit from better help. I've no doubts whatsoever that he'll keep it up and might even hit 20 goals for the season which is better than I'd hoped for.

Joe. Posted 26 August 2008 Posted 26 August 2008 Well done to him so far, but he's got a lot of shit to make up for in my eyes.

Poakey Posted 26 August 2008 Posted 26 August 2008 So glad for him,and me as i have his name on my shirt
Cheese Me Posted 26 August 2008 Posted 26 August 2008 Brilliant. That's the kind of stat I like to see. Also why isn't Howard in that list with his two?
Babylon Posted 26 August 2008 Posted 26 August 2008 Brilliant. That's the kind of stat I like to see.Also why isn't Howard in that list with his two? Was one in the cup?
davieG Posted 26 August 2008 Posted 26 August 2008 How many goals did he get again last season? Hush!
Thracian Posted 26 August 2008 Author Posted 26 August 2008 Hush! That's a very suggestive signature! It's almost left me tongue-tied!
davieG Posted 26 August 2008 Posted 26 August 2008 That's a very suggestive signature! It's almost left me tongue-tied! N ot a signature Thrac, she's indicating how many goals Fryatt got last year - but I can see it actually fits in nicely with my written sig.

Corky Posted 26 August 2008 Posted 26 August 2008 Good to see. Hope he stays there through until May.

I've no doubts whatsoever that he'll keep it up and might even hit 20 goals for the season which is better than I'd hoped for. Sorry Thrac but I disagree, I for one do not believe that Fryatt will score around 20 goals this season. I still feel that he is not as good a striker as many seem to believe. Classic case was last Saturday, yes he scored 2 goals, one of which was a very simple header. However, there were times during the game when he had the ball in the box and had he shot first time may well have scored, instead he felt he needed that extra touch and instantly the ball was taken from him. If you are right, then I'll gladly buy you a pint or two.
act smiley Posted 26 August 2008 Posted 26 August 2008 Its a fault that he can get away with at this level though.

clazkel Posted 26 August 2008 Posted 26 August 2008 i'm soo glad for Fryatt, he's finally showing what he can do. He will keep it up and score more than 20 goals this season, go on Matty!!!

clazkel Posted 26 August 2008 Posted 26 August 2008 No, he didn't get a proper chance last season to show what he could do as when he did start to get fit and look sharp he was dropped by Holloway. At least Gary Megson was sticking with him and giving him a chance.
Thracian Posted 26 August 2008 Author Posted 26 August 2008 No, he didn't get a proper chance last season to show what he could do as when he did start to get fit and look sharp he was dropped by Holloway. At least Gary Megson was sticking with him and giving him a chance. It serves little purpose to go over that. Fryatt had stacks of chances and, in any case, was playing at Championship level. He's now playing in a lower League where he's been provenly capable, with far better players to help him and under a manager who seems able to get the best out of almost everyone. His return to form doesn't nullify the past two years but it does give us a chance to put it behind us and praise what he's doing now. But make no mistake, Fryatt will face a real challenge showing that he can follow this season with a successful stint at a higher level. He may be fitter, more focused and surrounded by worthwhile help but he will still have his own limitations to overcome and while I hope he succeeds, it's no foregone conclusion.
vjbapu Posted 27 August 2008 Posted 27 August 2008 Fryatt is to League 1 as Rob Earnshaw is to the championship, stuck at 1 level, but bloody brilliant in that division
SOCCERROO FOX Posted 27 August 2008 Posted 27 August 2008 I think Matty could score 30 goals this season and there will still be some difference in opion about him, he just seems to be one of those players that people either love him or hate him.
