DelMonte Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 We are absolutely struggling to score goals. If it wasn't for St Mirren and Hamilton games it would barely be a goal a game.A few games lately we've hardly even had a shot on target.Aye so take away some of our goals and we'd barely be on a goal a game? Good logic. Link to comment
fine-n-dandy Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 Aye so take away some of our goals and we'd barely be on a goal a game? Good logic.Plus a couple of penalties that don't count remember. Link to comment
alscotoz Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 I still maintain the slight possibility that it was known May's recovery was an up to 2 year process. Preston weren't willing to wait and invest in his recovery, we got him cheap as a result and on reasonable wages since we were taking a chance on nursing him back. He's 100% within 2 years and we get 2 full years of circa 2015 Stevie May....hence the 4 year contract. Almost makes sense (although there "May" be simpler expkanations). Eh? Link to comment
SheepieBaaBaa Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 Eh? Sorry....The post evidently wansn't phrased in a manner accessible to the hard of thinking. £400k is cheap for a striker.Maybe it was known that he would take time to fully regain fitness.Maybe he is still on that journeyMaybe he's about to come back to form. ....and before you say "that's not likely" correct, I even said that; but it is possible that maybe he was signed as a rebuild project and we wouldn't have gotten him otherwise. It's equally unlikely that Preston would sell a fully fit, in form striker for less than half what they paid and that same striker would take a huge wage cut to come to us. One might think that there was a conversation around how long it would take to get him back to full form and fitness and a decision made. Link to comment

Almost makes sense (although there "May" be simpler expkanations).I don't think there's any chance that a club would buy a player, shelling out their highest transfer fee in quite some time, with the expressed intention of spending 2 years rehabilitating him, much of which involves playing them in the first team, in the hope that the end result 2 years later resembles Stevie May 2014. I mean, there's taking a risk and then there's this. Link to comment

I mean, there's taking a risk and then there's this.I agree. However there is no doubt in my mind that the club knew at the time of signing May he was not the same player that left St Johnstone and would need some time to get back up to speed and (hopefully) back to his previous level. It just hasn't worked so far. But he's been relatively effective in the last few games. But he really needs to start regularly scoring goals. At the end of the day that's why we bought him.

Shinniesta Posted November 11, 2018 Share Posted November 11, 2018 Is it?As his main function yes. I don't doubt McInnes saw him as an upgrade on Rooney in that he thought he would score a similar amount of goals but also link the play better and be a more effective team player. I'm pretty sure McInnes imagined he'd have scored far more than 5 goals 16 months into his Dons career. Link to comment

I mean, there's taking a risk and then there's this.Probably agree but at least my reasoning gives an outcome that doesn't have the club making an utter cunt of it. I agree that in reality it is more likely that we made a cunt of it, but unlikely as it may be....I still hold onto the belief that my highly unlikely turn of events could be true. Link to comment

RUL Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 It's a valid point. So are you saying that there isn't an issue with us scoring goals? How is it a valid point? It's fairly obvious if you took goals off us it would reduce our goal a game ratio. Link to comment

It's fairly obvious if you took goals off us it would reduce our goal a game ratio.In general, we are struggling to score.There have been 2 or 3 games where we have scored some goals. The rest have been painful, negative, defending performances where we haven't looked like scoring.That's how it's a valid point. 1 Link to comment
