Nugent

[svensson]

wow he scored one more than king that season, besides not like he was top goalscorer in the league. We all like Nugent but no reason why we can't ask for him to be more consistent, I mean he went through a patch where he didn't score for like 8 games last season. If we have aspiration's to be amongst the top 2 Nugent has got to score more simple! after all he is our main striker is he not?

Not like a midfielder to score more than a striker in the modern game bow is it??

Nuge will score his 15+, whats the issue? Are we losing this season when Nuge hasn't scored?

[Stadt]

I think Wood is our best striker but we just can't seem to get him to consistently score, is it a coincidence that he was scoring for fun when he first joined when he would've been most motivated? I think he just can't be bothered which is really annoying because he's capable of 20+.

what's the issue, we can't afford him to be inconsistent for an 8 game period like last season if we are near automatic promotion places this season and expect to stay there, like other's said seemed like he is not bothered at times, let's games pass him by. On his day he is a great striker, I would just like to see more of the good Nugent rather than the poor Nugent.

Cardiff City's top scorer last season scored 8 league goals.

Goals from midfield get you promoted.

As for not being bothere, I am calling bull$hit.

[Freeman's Wharfer]

Missed an absolute sitter tonight. Confidence in front of goal is quite clearly shot at the minute...

[Johnny Cash]

Was an improvement on what we had going on in the first half but formation and Dyer probably aided him and Kockeart certainly did.

Woeful miss. Embarassing celebrations when he was warming up, imagine the reception he'd receive if he properly contributed?...

[jamesmilner]

looked like Norman Wisdom with his haircut , played like him too !

Yes but he played well and helped change the game.

lloyd and knocky changed the game , nuge did fa again  . tell a lie ,a cowardly tackle cus he was frustrated at being so poor that he should have been carded for . 

[chris_lcfc_85]

Bloke needs a goal in open play ASAP as he's not his best currently.

 

His work rate is unquestionable though and thats why him and Vardy do a good job even when they're not scoring.

This helped us last night with his closing down

[Jimmy]

I don't think you can have both him and Vardy in the same team as they are basically the same player, 1 needs to be sacrificed for a finisher. I.E. Chris Wood

[Manwell Pablo]

lloyd and knocky changed the game , nuge did fa again  .

 

Held the ball up well, gave us an outlet, and actually allowed us to play in their half which we didn't do in the entirety of the first half when, and actually managed to get himself into a goal scoring position and whilst he may of scuffed it, it was more than any one else upfront managed.

 

You stick to your blinkered opinion and your agenda though. 

[Jimmy]

You don't remember things very well then. King has never scored 16 in a season and Nugent has scored 16 and 15 in his last two seasons here.

yes he has in the 2010-11 season he was top scorer with 16 under Sousa/Sven

Cup goals don't count remember

[Jimmy]

Cup goals don't count remember

then neither has Nugent, he's scored 15 & 14 respectively, play-off goals don't count in them either

[Bert]

Oh yeah, and penalties.

[Jimmy]

Oh yeah, and penalties.

penalties do, but like Cup goals, play-off apps and goals do actually get listed in a separate section

 

but I know you're being sarcastic because someone is being a twat in here

[Dickov22]

Just cannot believe people are criticising him to the point he's 'wank' 'overrated' 'laxidasical' 'not as good as Wood' 'Schlupp and Vardy are better finishers' etc etc

WTF are some of you on. Get a clue

[Manwell Pablo]

They count as league goals actually I'm pretty sure. 

[Jimmy]

They count as league goals actually I'm pretty sure. 

they can't as they aren't League games, they are in effect a separate cup competition

[Manwell Pablo]

they can't as they aren't League games, they are in effect a separate cup competition

 

It's all the same competition, therefore they are Championship games. It would be depend on whether you are talking Championship goals or Championship league goals.

 

Only a Leicester fan being pedantic trying to back up a point in a ironically pointless argument would be to bothered about qualifying the difference the two, tbh  The term splitting hairs comes to mind.

Looked far better last night I thought.

 

I must be half asleep, why do I not remember this 'sitter' he missed?

He had an effort from around 18 yards when he was in a bit of space, bit of a woeful effort, far from a "sitter" though

[MattyFromLE]

From what I remember it was a fairly awkward shot to hit.

 

His confidence must be shot, but the fact he has 3 in the league doesn't bode to badly. 

 

For those who are saying that he's woeful / not as good as Schlupp - you obviously didn't see Schlupp last night up front in the first half. Deary me. 

 

Nugent is always going to be an asset, rather than a hindrance. One of two things need to happen, either we need to offer him a contract to settle his nerves, or, he needs to start scoring to "deserve" a contract, which - in my eyes he's deserved considering the contribution he's made since he signed.

he has 4 in the league, we've had 6 pens, 5 in the league and 1 in the cup so far
