There was some sort of stat out around January time which noted LJL had had more shots off target than any other player in the division. No reference as to who was second in the list, though. I think the stats also noted we'd had more shots than anybody else at that point, possibly won more corners as well?


Are you suggesting we should find out who this is and sign them up!?

Most of Lenny's shots finished up in the corners

No, I'm just pointing out that he might have had just one or two more shots off target than the next least accurate striker. One figure without context doesn't tell you anything much of note.

LJL did miss some sitters (though not too many this season), but I always remember that he took on loads of longer-range shots on his left foot that he should never have attempted. Might have scored from one of these once or perhaps twice during his time at the club but would probably have been better off keeping possession and passing it instead.

Anyway let's stop talking about our ex-player and hope some new strikers for us to moan about arrive before too long!

Comparing Lenny and Hannah is a bit of a joke really, Hannah is on his way down, Lenny is on his way up, potentially as a result Hannah may be more successful in the next few seasons...

No one can deny that opposition after opposition said they found Lenny to be a handful.

I think the really interesting thing here is that PH has built his team around Lenny and his style of play has been dictated by the way Lenny plays.  It will be very interesting if PH can find a direct replacement, if he can't PB may be forced to change his style of play, whether he wants to or not....could this be the thing that finally moves us into the automatic promotion place?

Could potentially move us in the wrong direction if he doesn't get it right. Let's hope we get back to being the top scorers in Europe as we were for a time when Hearn was here. Didn't have the defence to match then though. Going to be an interesting few months.

Ricky Miller, anyone?


Isn't he in a spot of bother with the police?

We're still going to be solid at the back  , midfield  , a year older , think new legs required .  I don't think our manager will change  his style and go for a target man  in the same mould as before.  As you say going to be interesting to see what happens . We are going to have to be ruthless.

Police investigation aside, I think he is available and was rumoured to be of interest to PH when he was playing for Boston. Not advocating him though, as he sounds like he might disrupt the team's togetherness.

I too thought we might look at him now he's released by Luton, but I get the impression (don't know why) that Hurst just doesn't fancy him enough. We'll see.
