Least prolific strikers

[Mad Cyril]

Nile Ranger must have one of the lowest goals per minutes played ratio of any Southend player.

How does he rate compared to some of our less illustrious players over the years?

 

[Yorkshire Blue]

Dr*we Br*ughton 1 goal (net) in 31+13 league appearances
Nile Ranger 9 goals in 27+13 league appearances

Unless he scores 8 own goals in his next 4 appearances he's not going to be bottom of any list.

I think his record shows that he has never been a prolific scorer. I do feel, with his attributes, he is failing badly as the target man he really could be. He needs to learn from Fortune how to use his body, oh and to run sometimes, because he could be very effective. Many past failures, in a Blues shirt, never had the potential Ranger undoubtedly has. I am beginning to believe, that unless he responds to the effect of bloody big rocket up his harris, then he is going to drift into oblivion. He talks the talk but...

Gavin Tomlin didnt score in his first 20 odd games for us , then he got one in off his backside + he suddenly turned into Pele + became prolific.

Confidence is the key to it.

Cox , Ranger + Fortune will all get double figures before the end of the season. Keep the faith. :clap::clap::clap:

Richard Young never scored.

Yep, by scoring 3+3+4.

 

[Yorkshire Blue]

Ranger averages a league goal every 3 matches for us (3.054)
Cox is 2.48 matches
Robinson 3.45 matches (mainly from his loan spell I suspect!)
Fortune 3.70 matches
Dave Mooney 3.77 matches


Top of the list*
Corr 2.14 matches

and he was lazy

and he would swan about in his white boots blaming his team mates for his own short comings

and he was a 5 star c word

 

[fatshrimp]

Billy Paynter. That is all.

 

[mattitouk]

Jake Cassidy....

Before joining Southend Utd, he made 20 appearances for Wolves, and failed to score a single goal.

Then we signed him, and he never scored a single goal for us in his 17 appearances.

He then moved to Oldham on a 2 year contract, and never scored a single goal for them either!...His contract was cancelled after just one season! :smile:

Love your optimism but I doubt that very highly!!!!

 

[ian_the_girth]

Danny Webb must have a poor goal to game ratio. I remember him trying hard but just being out of his depth.

Apart from that though...

Blair Sturrock

I've seen a lot worse than him. As for poor unfortunate Nile, a spell doing bird for defrauding the vulnerable probably hasn't helped matters goal scoring wise.

Cox I can believe (he had a pretty poor first half of the season last year as well), Ranger is good in the air so if he gets his act together he might be able to creep into double figures, I can't see it happening for Fortune though, despite being a forward the guy seems much more comfortable setting up others than taking a shot himself (I'd still have him in the team though).

 

[Letmein]

Gordon Connelly was pretty awful !

 

[MK Shrimper]

Paynter - 1 goal. Lots of puke.
Harrold - 6 goals in two seasons.

 

[LBBlue]

Graeme Jones anyone? Past it when he got to us..
