LJL 20

Lennell John Lewis will score 20+ goals this season

You heard it here first

Evening Mrs John- lewis  

Quoted from 120790

Lennell John Lewis will score 20+ goals this season

You heard it here first

If you had said that at the start of the season I would have said never,

Now I am not so sure,

He is proving a lot of us wrong at the moment,

Keep it up Lenny.

Hardly inconceivable whether you like him or not. He's well on his way to having 10 goals by xmas and if he's got 10 by then, of course is possible. Especially for someone who we know is going to play the majority of games.

Very possible.  He'll play most of the games and is also the penalty-taker.  A greater emphasis on crosses and playing the ball to feet up front will also help him get into more scoring opportunities than if he is just used as ballast up front.  PH seemed to hint at this in the post-Torquay interview too.  If he gets to 11 by Christmas, I'd fancy him to get to 20 by the end of the season.

If we play 7 games in the FAT (some against utter dross teams possibly) plus possible replays I'd expect 30, never mind 20! Then there is the cup!

LJL - 20 . Why not? Successful penalty taking is helping him to exercise being calm and magnify his confidence . He can do it. He needs Pitman back / Arnold playing to share the load and he'll profit.

As for Ross Hannah - he is our insurance for promotion this season.

Loads of goals for Town this season (as a team) - must be.

UTM

It is not just the goals he scores, though I agree these are valuable to the team but his all round contribution is worth a lot more than 20 goals. No targets for him please just enjoy his current run of form and prey it continues. UTM.

Quoted from GrimRob

If we play 7 games in the FAT (some against utter dross teams possibly) plus possible replays I'd expect 30, never mind 20! Then there is the cup!

Let's not get carried away!

Hopefully the fact he has scored some decisive goals recently and a couple from open play, however fortunate the second one may be, should give him confidence.
keep it up LJL and Town we need this promotion form to continue UTM!!

What's going on? Am I missing something? It seems like only yesterday I felt the odd one out when most on here did not even want him in the team. Oh well that's fickle football fans for you, I am sure the knives will be out the next time he misses one.

Arnold & Neilson on the wings.

Pittman & The Shop up front.

looks very very dangerous

Quoted from GrimRob

If we play 7 games in the FAT (some against utter dross teams possibly) plus possible replays I'd expect 30, never mind 20! Then there is the cup!

Let's hope we only play one!

I always stuck up for him when the ones around me was giving him stick. I always said he'd score as long as the chances weren't inside the 6 yard box.

Quoted from oldun

Its called football.

Quoted from tashee69

I always stuck up for him when the ones around me was giving him stick. I always said he'd score as long as the chances weren't inside the 6 yard box.

I among others always said he works very hard but was not a goal scorer ,

He is starting to prove us wrong,

AND

I am very pleased about it.

9 in 15 for him now, along with 3 assists. Fairly good going for the amount of stick he gets on here.

9 in 15, is a top top record that is similar to Hearn & Connell's, he offers more to the game than them 2 aswell.

but he will still get stick

9 in 15?

7 in 14 (which is still very good)

Quoted from Jarmo.Is.God

9 in 15, is a top top record that is similar to Hearn & Connell's, he offers more to the game than them 2 aswell.

but he will still get stick

I'd take Hearn over LJL any day of the week. Not that I dislike the shop but Hearn was another league to him as a forward.

Quoted from mariner91

How about this particular day of this particular week? He's inured.

Agree    LJL 20 would be hell of a number plate for him

It's funny how a lot of opposing fans praise him and wish he was in their team!

Quoted from rancido

It's funny how a lot of opposing fans praise him and wish he was in their team!

The Bristol Rovers fans I spoke to on the opening day were very impressed and the same at Wrexham.

Quoted from rancido

It's funny how a lot of opposing fans praise him and wish he was in their team!

Torquay fans doing that

The Aldershot commentators said he was the best and most effective player on the pitch before he was sent off

All the praise for LJL comes from away matches.. He's not so effective in home games against packed defences. This is not a criticism but he's clearly not the fox in the box type player you need to turn half chances into goals. Away from home he seems to be near to unplayable at times and runs amok.

This is where Hannah should shine but he doesn't seem to be as deadly as he was for some reason. Hopefully Arnold and the returning Pittman will be the ones to unlock those stubborn defences at BP.

If Lenny gets 20 goals I will run around the pontoon naked with a mariners kitchen hot dog shoved up my bottom !

Brave, he's nearly halfway there with more than half the season to go. And I reckon Pittman and Arnold being fit could cause him to score a few more!

At least they're not hot enough to burn your bum!!

I think you should do something different to your normal activities should King Lenny net 20 goals!!

Quoted from BIGChris

Stop trying to shift the blame.

LJL will score 20+ goals this season.

Remember where you heard it

Quoted from tashee69

Err yesterdays brace were both inside the 6 yd box .

Jonnyboy currently sh1tting himself as the Shop scores another 2 and getyourfactsright wondering how quick he can get a extra thick hotdogs .....

Quoted from mariner91

There you have it , he like Ross needs to be fed the ball to score . Remove Arnold and Pittman and we go sterile .  Think we should sell Lenny for £250 K  while we can .

Nice Latin-based word play!

You can see whats going to happen.  LJL gets 20 gls and leaves at the end of the season due to the amount of stick he got (rightly or wrongly)

Quoted from DocTower

One word: pace.

Quoted from highcliff mariner

Err yesterdays brace were both inside the 6 yd box .

That header was not in the six yard box !!
One out of nine in the six yard box does not make him tap in material.
Like I've stated I've taken a lot of abuse for sticking up for him (and I mean abuse)so now he appears to be in favour I'll be damned if I'm going to take stick off people implying I'm having a dig. If you look at the easy chances he's missed that all seem to come in the six yard box he'll have hit about 15.

I'm pleased for the lad because he's a genuine trier. The penalties have no doubt given him confidence, the service is better and he is timing his runs better.

Don't get carried away. Let's remember these are simple goals that any decent striker should easily score, it's what he's in the side for and he still misses a lot more than he puts in. That first half open goal header was woeful.

Wasn't as good as usual yesterday but still scored 2, fair play

Lets face it give him enough chances and he will score just like almost every other striker  in football.

LJL is hard to "pigeon hole" but I think most teams in this league would be happy to have him in their squad.Not the most clinical but he brings so much more most of the time.Agree that the combination with Hannah doesn't seem to work as well as you would think it would but both will contribute to what we all hope will be a very good season.Hannah to fire us to Wembley in the Trophy?

It's written in the stars that LJL will take the deciding penalty in the play-off final  

Bloody hell, the guy has scored 5 in 3 games and still fans are having a go at him. Remember we are non league and he is not Ronaldo give him a break.

Did the regular penalty taker take the last penalty against Wrexham? That's the only stat we have!

One of the reasons I didn't clap Boshell off yesterday.

Who's having a go at him?

Quoted from KingstonMariner

Who's having a go at him?

Several on here saying he did not have a good game and missed earlier chances.

Quoted from KingstonMariner

Who's having a go at him?

There's a bit of 'damning with faint praise' isn't there? I think it's a bit disingenuous to suggest his first at Torquay was a 'simple goal any striker should score'.

Quoted from LH

One of the reasons I didn't clap Boshell off yesterday.

But he was part of the team that got us there !!!
Interesting though, when the opposition gets a penalty and McKeown saves it, it's a good save. When we have a penalty saved we give no credit to the opposition goalkeeper, just have a go at the taker. Yes the taker should score but the keepers there to do his job.

The one at Wembley by Boshell was terrible though.

If the keeper goes the wrong way it isn't.
Just watched it again on YouTube and it seems to be in the corner. I admit I am watching it on my iPhone so the screen is small. If it had been Barnes it would have got a "what a save" reaction.

It's not that close to the corner and a great height for the keeper, very savable.

Quoted from mariner91

Only if you go the right way. To me that is not a terrible penalty. Not a good one but definately not terrible. Terrible pens are ones off target. I don't consider Hannah and his blasts down the middle to be good pens but how many times has it worked. The one that was saved, is that a bad pen compared to all the others that have gone in. No ! Just the keeper doing his job well.

Can see what you're saying but we'll have to agree to disagree. From 12 yards uncontested you should be giving the keeper no chance and there are plenty of places to do that. Look at LJL against Wrexham, keeper went the right way but it was irrelevant because it was so well hit.

To me that was an excellent pen. There is a very fine line between putting in the corner to hitting the post or giving the keeper a chance to save it (Cambridge). If we only had a Julian Dicks type pen taker. He could take pens.  

LJL's penalty against Dartford was fantastic. Not sure any keeper would have stopped it. He really does seem to have cracked finishing when it's a penalty.

I would rather he takes them then Hannah.

The best penalty taker I ever saw was Jack Brownsword who was left back for Scunthorpe in the 1950s/60s. He scored over 50, all left footed and all in exactly the same spot, on the floor just behind the keeper's left hand post. Not even in the corner, right in the side netting.  It didn't matter whether the keeper guessed right or not. Everyone knew where it was going anyway but it was always out of reach. Could be wrong but I don't think he ever missed.

The next best was Johnny Scott for Town in the 60s who generally waited to see the keeper shift his weight and put it the other way. Occasionally for variety he would hit one with the outside of his foot that more or less went round the keeper. I only saw him miss one, against Lincoln I think.

Joe Waters was good as well. Varied his placing every time. Dave Gilbert was pretty good as was Dave Boylen. Left footers always seem to have an advantage for some reason.

Didn't he just twat it as hard as possible, a la Ross Hannah?

Quoted from Abdul19

Didn't he just twat it as hard as possible, a la Ross Hannah?

He generally hit it very hard in the top corners. Not just down the middle.

Just a little reminder, in case you have forgotten.

John Lewis will score 20+ goals this season....

I'll be gutted if he only gets 20. My target is 30.

Still think well make the play offs this season but automatic Iam not no sure.Barnet seem to be on a bit of a roll at the moment

That's the second time you have said this on this thread and while I don't disagree with you and hope that it will happen, I am not sure I did hear it here first.

http://www.thefishy.co.uk/cgi-bin/forum/Blah.pl?m-1407105318//id-884830

Post 39 suggests that it would happen back in pre-season, before he had scored 1.

I reckon it'll be a Bristol v Grimsby playoff final and there's a new attendance record set

Quoted from Kymariner12

I hope it is a Gateshead v FGR final and no one turns up!

We obviously go up as champions, so do not care about any play-off games.

I hear Nick Dale is currently looking at changing Blundell Park name to Pontoon so everyone gets to see this.....Getyourfactsrights has also specifically asked to be in charge of catering that day!!!!

LJL Will score 20 goals this season. Remember you heard it here first.

Is that his 15th?

Would be ace if he did get 20 and the 20th was the goal that sent us back up.

Quoted from mariner91

Is that his 15th?

14th league goal and I think he got 2 in the FA Cup qually

Quoted from Abdul19

14th league goal and I think he got 2 in the FA Cup qually

Only 4 goals away then! Seven games left, far from impossible!

The bbc website shows

LJL         14

JPP         9

Disley     8

Palmer   5

Quoted from ginnywings

Would be ace if he did get 20 and the 20th was the goal that sent us back up.

And also sent that hotdog up

Quoted from mariner91

Potentially 10!

If only we got as many penalties as Barnet.

He has 14 league goals and 2 in the cup, so he is on 16 goals.

Just 4 to go.

He will score 20 goals this season. You heard it here first.

the water is in the pan ready to boil the sausage  

Quoted from Theimperialcoroner

If only we got as many penalties as Barnet.

love to know how many penalties and opposition red cards they have had this season,  
I think they have now had something like 9 games this season where they have played against 10 men for over 45 mins,
cant find a stat site that does penalty stats for the conference

Lennell John Lewis will score 20 goals this season.

You heard it here first.

3 to go. Six and a half games (minimum) left.

One to go! We're all rooting for you Lenny!

Lenny's 20th will be the 90th minute winner against BR at Wembley. UTM
