MachoMan 0 Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 I don't understand this obsession with Kris Boyd. Yes his stats are superb, but since he has been at the club we have won nothing (apart from a few cups). Novo and Prso had far inferior strike rates bit that combo won us the league. We have seen all that Boyd has to offer - yes he can get the goals against poor-average teams - but against any organised decent team he is useless. For example, his strike rate is up there with Larssons, but we all know that Larsson was a far far superior player so the stats don't tell the full picture. He is slow, lazy, has very questionable fitness, a poor first touch, no skill and if he does not score then you have basically played a game with 10 men. We cannot rely on Kris Boyd...it just doesn't work. It is obvious he is not going to add anything to his game as he has been here for 2.5 seasons and he is the same player as the day he joined. His superb strike rate has got us nowhere and we need to look elsewhere as Boyd is not the answer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExiledWeegie123 1,236 Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 1 guy doesnt make a team so singling boyd out is unfair,and correct me if im mistaken but we won 2 cups this year? you answered your own question really in the first line,boyds stats are superb you say we cannot rely of kris boyd? well who else won us 2 cups this year? i just cant fathom this,weve just bought a non scorer in miller,a non scorer in lafferty(maybe) and a 1 in 2 guy in velicka,boyd could put them all to shame with his deadly finishing but its hey ho of you go boyd.

Boyd can not do anything like that, he can't pass or create chances for his partner...he has one ability - scoring goals from around 10 yeards...he has no ability for link up play as seen by the amount of times he gets caught offside.

outlaw69uk 123 Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 Yet another poster who thinks a stikers role is the following: Someone with boyds ratio/finishing, combined with a messi like skill, the ability to get the ball at the halfway line, mazy past 5 players, cross it into the box then get on the end of it himself!

jbm26896 995 Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 boyd needs a partner to be productive , as all great strikers do just ask McCoist , he had hateley if you are happy with walter signing miller - great , i am not as for boyd not scoring against the bigger teams , he has started 2 old firm games and scored in one he has played 13 international goals and scored 8 times the reason he does not score against the european teams is WS prefers defensive formations if boyd had played more at the end of the season in the SPL , we would be champions , IMO Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MachoMan 0 Posted June 17, 2008 Author Share Posted June 17, 2008 Mark my words - with Boyd out of the picture you will see a much faster deadlier strike force. Yes, we may only beat East Fife in the CIS Cup 3-0 instead of 6-0 without Boyd...but we will be able to go to Pittodrie/Parkhead and get 1-0 or 2-1 wins wheras with Boyd there is little chance of that happening. Anyone can see that Boyd is a very very limited player. No pace or technical ability. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Newells Sexist Army 2 Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 That was also the season Novo scored 25, since when the only consistent goalscorer getting 20+ in a season has been Boyd. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely, by any means neccesary? Some of the stick he gets is akin to complaining that Shagger doesnt put enough crosses into the box, or, take on his man!

BillyBoyBlue 0 Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 Boyd is a natural goal scorer You dont need to be world class to score a bag full of goals Yes he is slow but he managed over 20 goals last year as rotational player! I am not a fan of Miller coming back but i think if he partners boyd it will work for BOTH players. Without Boyd we would have won fcuk all this season!

Walters first season back was a huge suceess when you consider the position we were in when he arrived. He closed the gap with celtic from a massive gap to the league going to the last day of the season. I do agree that Boyd does score goals, but he offers nothing else which means the games he doesn't score in are basically played with 10 men. You can see from his touch/control/pace that he is not up to much as a footballer. Put it this way - what EPL clubs do you think would want him in their team? Probably none. If he does move it will be to the Championship as he simply has no technical ability. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
