At L1 level, or frankly at Championshp level, you'd need an outstandingly strong/creative midfield and/or 2 absolutely outstanding strikers to do without what Steve offers a team (strength, control, exceptional passing ability, flick-ons, knock-downs, relief, alternative attacking angle etc.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alf Bentley Posted 25 January 2009 Author Share Posted 25 January 2009 Just realised I've had too much to drink... There are no fowls committed by or against Big Steve, cos he aint a chicken! Might be quite a lot of fouls, though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ASH17LCFC Posted 25 January 2009 Share Posted 25 January 2009 Steve Howard ... What a plank. People are raving on about him like he's a change man. Hello we're in LEAGUE 1 !!

Father Ted Posted 25 January 2009 Share Posted 25 January 2009 Wouldn't surprise me. Many players struggle to control Howard. Just lookm back to yesterday and against Palace at home - they had to foul him to control him. I know that a couple of seasons ago Kisnorbo was the most fouled.

turkish14 Posted 25 January 2009 Share Posted 25 January 2009 What the the mighty Steve do last year ? Just like what has the mighty Fryatt done for the last 3 seasons? yet he's on fire this season, ive got o doubt Howard can have an impact at championship level he done it at a average Luton team 3 years ago.

Hello we're in LEAGUE 1 !!I hope we get rid of him and Oakley next season both planks. Just remember fickle fans, WE'RE IN LEAGUE 1. What the the mighty Steve do last year ? Not a lot but in a totally different side run, to a great extent, by a manager who was more comedian than tactician. Last season there was precious little chance of goals coming from anywhere except the strikers because we hadn't got anyone else in the team who was a confident goalscorer and, unfortunately for the strikers, no-one who could create things either. It was perfectly obvious from day one this season that we'd score. And, while there is clearly room for further improvement, I'm quite happy we would score with this team in the Championship. Howard and Fryatt both have their limitations, no question. But provide them with enough chances and they will bag their share of goals. Not enough goals perhaps but they'd help provide the right foundation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of those fouls that are conceded by Howard, how many of them are actually 'fouls'? Yesterday's yellow card was a total joke. And of those fouls commited against Howard, exactly how many are constantly missed every game? He is the most unlucky player when it comes to decisions. They never go for him and the referees are always against him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anish Posted 25 January 2009 Share Posted 25 January 2009 To be honest Howard does concede a lot of fouls because he's always leading with his forearm and elbow, and often when he's attacking the ball in the air he's always pushing the defender in the back. Most of the fouls he gave away yesterday were deserved in my opinion. Once he received the yellow card he stopped leading with his elbow and still won the ball in the air, so I don't know why he doesn't think before he jumps.

TrickyTrev Posted 25 January 2009 Share Posted 25 January 2009 I think we'll need a more mobile target man for next season. Big Steve is getting a little old to play 40 games a season and has his limitations in the Championship anyway. Useful player to have about but not a starter.

BedsFox Posted 25 January 2009 Share Posted 25 January 2009 In terms of assists Steve must be right up there in this league? 2 or 3 yesterday alone, one against Orient, I could go on... He is the fulcrum around which the team attacks, and must have accounted for a lot of the space Fryatt had in the early part of the season, and if we have to hoof we at least have him to hoof it too. Does a lot of the dirty work for others Anyone got the assist stats? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
