Truth_is_out_there 197 Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 Not a Joe Garner post per se, as there has been a few of those already. My mate at work is a lifelong Forest fan. I asked him for his opinion of our new signing, as he obviously knows that league down there better than me. He told me he is a "good player who will guarantee us at least 10 goals a season". I didn't really know whether he was trying to take the piss or pay him some sort of weird compliment. Anyway, I'm pleased as hell with the signing and think he will be brilliant. I grew up idolising McCoist and got used to him racking them up over a season; even when he had a spell on the bench with the signing of Mo Johnston. I think a striker wearing the famous no 9 shirt, should guarantee us a bare-minimum of at least 20 goals per season (not including cups), in the top flight to give us any chance of winning the league. I would even accept Waghorn getting 15 for us playing on the right, and having a very good season. The number 9 should get more though. What do fellow bears think should be a reasonable target for our number 9 this season, whoever gets the nod?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanoli 4,625 Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 Miller is number 9. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miller time 4,988 Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 I'd want him gone if he only gave us ten goals a season lol. I'm hoping he's 25+ a season , as we need that if we've any hope of competing for the league Edit Sorry I only read the first paragraph before I replied Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

dee9 3,972 Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 Well griffiths got 40+ for them last season so for us to have a chance of this league we must have someone getting 30 at the very minimum. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

With us having 4 strikers who all want 1st team football I wouldn't have thought that one person in our team gets the majority of the goals. If anyone does do that though I'd put my money on it being Garner. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeparateEntityMyArse 53,622 Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 A number 9 at Rangers should be a 30+ goal player. Miller isn't that person. Garner may be, Waggy certainly can be. The number on the jersey isn't that important it's that the player playing that position fulfills the role and scores the goals. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO waghorn isn't a traditional no 9. He misses far too many chances and quite a few of his goals are penalties. I'm excited by Garner, and I hope he can be clinical like Boyd, McCoist etc Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Courtyard Bear 41,357 Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 25+, our main goal threat from midfield was Holt and he's out so we need the forwards to really step up. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pcbear 10,913 Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 The amount of balls that fly across the opponents face of goal without a touch is criminal, should be 10 goals a game. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

burnbank bear 342 Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 For fuck sake 10 goals is that every couple of month Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottyscott1963 18,222 Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 Think Marco Negri scored 23 goals in his first 10 matches in the No 9 jersey. Fuck this "think he'll score at least 10 in a season" shite. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smile 26,600 Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 We have to get back to creating the chances like we did early doors last season this has been missing this term Excited to see Garner after watching the videos. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammer93 15,056 Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 Football has changed a good bit from years ago, it was always an expectation than your main striker would be good for 40 odd goals a season, I reckon if Garner gives us between 20-25 he will of played a significant part towards a title challenge.

ThatNightInFlorence 696 Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 Kane Hemmings scored more than 20 for a poor Dundee side in this league last season. The minimum I would expect from Garner with the chances we create is 20. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluenose244 2,618 Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 20+ would suffice considering we have goals all over the park, we don't rely on one man scoring the goals with our style of play. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scored 4 in 3 games. Need goals. We should be targeting 100+ goals in 36 league games, with home games accounting for more than half. A CF with 30 ish goals is vital.
