Chris Porter

Who was that poster who rated Porter ever so highly??

Congratulations to Martin for reaching 20, but I don't think he's done yet. He'll be pushing to beat his 23 total for Norwich, and including play-offs, I fancy him to get it.

For me, I rank him as our best modern day striker. I'd put Rasiak 2nd, Howard 3rd, but Martin's the man as far as I'm concearned. I can't remember a more important player in terms of the way we play...

One of the points on this thread that I would pick up on, is the resting of players.

I've seen that backfire before, changing a team and losing momentum, which can be very difficult to regain.

Love his style of play and how pivotal he is to the team, don't get me wrong, but I always look at [b]league[/b] goals as being the yard stick!

Martin 17
Bryson 16


Just so it doesn't seem as though I'm being pessimistic, I'll compare him with previous strikers.

2013/14* - Chris Martin 17 from 40
2013/14* - Craig Bryson 16 from 40
2010/11 - Kris Commons 13 from 26
2008/09 - Rob Hulse 15 from 44
2006/07 - Steve Howard 16 from 43**
2004/05 - Grzegorz Rasiak 16 from 35**
1997/98 - Paulo Wanchope 13 from 32
1995/96 - Dean Sturridge 20 from ??

* - Season still ongoing
** - excluding play-off games
?? - can't find the information available online to see how many games he played.

So hats off to him for being our highest scorer since Dean Sturridge I say! But I really hope he gets 3 more.

It's a serious point, you shouldn't mess with a team that's playing well. Break their run at you own peril!!

It's true that the 6 or 7 best players at the club have barely played a game since January.

And our second team is relegation fodder!
