Soi, for the record, I didn't say I thought Greenacre was any good, just that I enjoyed those late Goals.
And you're right, it was a late leveller against Crewe, It just felt like a winner ;D

Sorry but a draw against the likes of Crewe could never feel like a winner to me- just made me realise how far we'd dropped when we went beserk against getting a home point v crewe FFS

. I don't know whether it is something about the club, but there have been a number of strikers down the years that have come here having scored goals at there previous clubs, only to play poorly when here. 2022 update, nowts changed! 😧😁

How crazy is It all those years ago the op saying about how strikers goals dry up when they come here, and still to this day we have the same problem. Are we cursed? Are the fans to blame?

To be fair we've had 3 or 4 who have done very well when it comes to scoring goals, Steino, Sheron, Thorne and Ric to mention the most obvious! Still I must admit some years have gone by since our last striker with 15+ goals played.

Our last 20 goal a season striker must have been Thorne. Admittedly 10 years in the Prem affects that a bit but it was 21 years ago that he left.

Used to go here all the time when I was little, had to hide the dog in the car so we didn’t have to pay extra.
Never understood the abuse it used to get, yes you would get some knobheads staying there but they were few and far between back in the day.
Walk over the dunes and you were on blackrock sands.
Anyone been recently?

Brown's number of goals has been the biggest surprise of the season in my opinion! I honestly wanted to see him gone before the season started!

Scoring over 20 once and then about 15 the following season. However games played/goals scored he had a very good record

Ricardo scored amazing goals but wasn't prolific. 43 in 182 games. Scored 16 league goals in a Pulis team when we were promoted, and also 11 in the PL one season. Not too bad really! Fuller was an incredibly wasteful striker, scoring 1 in almost 4 despite much of his career being spent below the Premier League. He created a lot out of nothing and scored wonder goals when we really needed it, but he also missed a number of sitters. He actually scored 15 in the promotion season, but that’s not a big deal. He couldn’t hit a barn door after the first Premier League season ended though.

Barring set pieces, we never actually had any chances unless Ric created them out of nothing. Plus his best performances for us were in 2009/10, when he played nearly every game and scored something like two goals.

In the season you mentioned, and the one that followed, he missed a lot of chances and in the latter, generally wasn’t up with play. A lot of these things are generally forgiven because without him, we’d have not gone up and not stayed up that first season either. I don’t buy that a sole attacking threat scoring something like two goals delivered his best performances.
