Thoughts on Jet

Postby Garawa » Mon Nov 28, 2016 9:13 pm

He infuriates most fans who think he is lazy. If he did what he does in some games most of the time he would be sensational!

For me, if he was able to then he would be in the Premier League. And maybe going absent most of games might give him the opportunity to turn on the skills as defenders think they have kept him quiet? I think fans need to accept that, at this level, players won't have that quality all the time and take what he offers! We aren't half way through the season yet and he has 11 goals, 4 assists and struck the woodwork 3 times! For me that's superb at our level. Fans can argue that he might reach 30 by the end of the season if he continued that in all of the games but I argue that he wouldn't get his chances if he did or would be in our league at all. Proof is possibly in the fact that 7 of his 11 goals have been scored in the final 20 minutes of games with 4 in the last 10. It was a masterstroke getting him, we are very lucky to have him and would they prefer to have kept Luke Norris?!

There is a lot of talk elsewhere about JET's work rate and lack of tracking back, but he's scored 11 goals so far, and there are ten other players who can stop the other team scoring. Or at least try to.

Not saying he is the second coming of the great Jimmy Greaves, but Greavesy would be on the pitch for maybe half and hour and never seem to do anything, then pop up and score a goal , then he would disappear until half way through the second period and then pop up and score another, used to drive my Grandfather crazy, lol.

Don't you dare say anything bad about Sir Greavsie! My childhood hero; I sobbed when they sold him to West Ham. Not sure I've recovered yet, although I do like that Martin Peters we got in exchange. I think he'll do ok!

West Ham, the only First Division Team to win the World Cup, so my Father a Bobby Moore fan always said, lol. I seem to remember the Russians tried it , playing a team like Moscow Dynamo or Locomotive back in I guess the 60's, working on the theory they were a good team playing together all the time so they should win the World Cup. It didn't work so the honor went to West Ham .
