It's true about Forte, he's always had a goal in him for me and if he'd played more this season upfront with either Stead or Shola we'd have done alot better especially away where Fortes speed and strength on the counter would have got us more points. The Forte debate goes on but surely you have to have that speed upfront or you're just playing infront of them. Having said that we've scored a good amount mainly thanks to Grant before Xmas so God knows ha ha.
Why is he an idiot?......for stating the bleedin obvious?......look at the BBC goal-scoring stats ffs......Forte is our most potent weapon, a goal every 2 games, despite being low on confidence after spending 30 games on the bench or taken the piss out of by Nolo and half of MAD.....he is suddenly back "in favour" and nailing goals for fun....the guy is class and always has been......Durham is merely talking common sense
Durham’s posts often come across as negative but he is spot on here, Forte has been decent when called upon and of late has been exceptional. His finish last night was sublime and if Ronaldo or Messi has scored the same sort of goal in an important match we would be seeing it time and time again on SSN.
Totally agree......natural goalscorers have a knack of making the difficult look easy.....he calmly touches it in with the inside of his left foot-heel....he did the exact same thing in the home tie against Covo, from a tougher angle.....what more does this guy need to do to convince some of the doubters on here?.....we have spent 70% of the season whacking it down the middle, and it works some, or most, of the time....now we have a different option ie play Forte and get the ball to his feet......if it doesn't work, then bring on Shola to partner Stead for the last 20 minutes....I am not trying to pick an argument with the anti-Forte brigade, simply stating that we now have different options
Not sure there’s many in the anti-Forte brigade now Tarquers, it’s just that some have been a bit slower to come over from the dark side.
If he’s fit he’ll play Friday, I just don’t think we’ll know whether he is until Friday.
