LJL

How many penalties did LJL score last season, I think it was 4? Take that away from his actual league goals for the season it comes to 12 goals from open play in 39 appearances.

Just updated his wiki page.

To all you haters: shop has landed a 2 year contract with a league club.hes left us behind. That's the facts. Am glad his hard work has been rewarded.
A bit like Jean louis who so many thought was a crock of Shiite.think he's playing league 1 next year as opposed to Ross Hannah who IMHO will struggle to get a perm deal elsewhere, yet he's a better player? Hmmm time will tell

My thoughts exactly. I can see a link between the two who were deemed shite

V true lh.comare their commitment, fitness and ability level to that of cook or Duffy. Am sure that hurst has known for some while that shop might/will leave and that he will have half a dozen possibilities as replacements. Vas sell sounded a very interesting proposition so hoping bursts comments are a double bluff

As always, I'm bemused by the whole "penalties don't count as much" shtick.

Do you think that people note that Matt Le Tissier scored over 200 goals for Southampton, but as almost 50 were penalties, you can only count about 160 of them as 'real' goals? Utterly bizarre.

LJL wasn't the world's best striker (which is why he has played in the 5th tier for the last few years) and I tend to doubt he'll score all that many at Newport, but trying to downplay his creditable achievement of scoring 20 goals this season when nobody else in the squad scored more than half as many is pretty weird. Don't criticise LJL for scoring 20, criticise the others for not scoring more.

Ross Hannah signing for BPA. Good mate who's a press officer there says so.

Depends how you interpret what has been written in front of you, when someone just writes something as a statement with no positive or negative opinion.
A ratio of 1:3 in open play is pretty good, LJL wasn't an out and out striker.  Can we find someone just as good, maybe better? I'm hopeful, I just hope we can score more goals than we did last season.

Pity we didn't have Palmer alongside him from the start of the season, along with Pittman chipping in with the goals.  I can't wait to find out what new strikers are coming in.

Ponder the thought, who will be the new penalty taker this year?  Hannah loved taking them too!

Hope Clay takes them after his at Wembley.

Also depends on how many mins he had on the pitch compared to others

My views on Lenny.Was a decent target man and could hold the ball up well from what I  saw on BT sport. Saying that though when I saw him live(albeit not much) didn't catch my eye. Sad to see him go as would have liked him to stay but feel we can get a replacement that does just a good a job as Lenny did. In Hurst we trust
