It does matter because according to you Jonathan Agnew is a better batsman than Geoffrey Boycott

Ok just to suit your argument which is the least fair way of doing it we will say he's a 1 in 9 goal striker

I don't know anything about cricket so couldn't even debate this with you
What you are saying is if a player plays 80 minutes and scores 1 goal and a player who plays 10 minutes every week gets 1 goal, they've been given the same chance to show their ability and must be regarded as equal... Which is anything but a fair argument to make
You know it, I know it, but you won't admit it because it doesn't suit your argument

Indeed and in 6 minutes he may score two goals on one occasion in his career

Boycott was a top batsmen and Agnew was a bowler and a terrible batsman

If over 46 games a striker gets a goal a game but played 80 minutes a match is offered to you or a striker who scores a goal a game but played 10 mins a match... Who would you want

There might be some meltdowns but there is also a lot of defensive work trying to gloss over today. Some of the excuses being thrown around are desperate.
A blip against a team lower in the league happens, failing to score and beat a boys team is a totally different thing.
Today was fucking embarrassing, I just hope the coaching staff use it as a wake up call and take action.

Pointless example, playing into Grendel's earlier example. That Wayne Andrews bloke that Mickey Adams brought to score the winner at Barnsley scored once in 10 minutes. His goal per minute played was great even though he was terrible.

The answer still probably wouldn't be Bakayoko, my love.

My word this is insane, you'd pick the striker who scored a goal every 10 minutes over a 46 game season

I think (fucking hope) Allen and Godden are going to be vital players for us this season, what we’ve learnt already after only 2 games, is that although we have a big squad, quality in depth is lacking, we will need to be at full strength to be competitive.
The worrying thing is that the deficiencies from last season (lack of creativity and goals) has not been addressed.
The window is still open for us to make additions, and we desperately need to use it before more easy points go begging.

Ok how about this
I play 130 games for Coventry city and score 1 goal , during those 130 games I was substituted on every match with 30 seconds to go.
Is it fair to call me a 1 in 130 striker despite playing just 65 minutes over the course of 130 games

Jobello, Bakayoko and Biamou all scored today.

None of them counted.
2 are invalid as they were offside. 1 was probably a harsh decision.
If 1 harsh decision stops us from beating a children's team then it's pretty worrying.

that's fair comment, but if you go with that take on things then people can't start going an about Southend should have scored last week and they nearly got a draw when they didn't and we won 1-0, you can't have it both ways.

Seems that the only thing that would have been acceptable today is a 5/6-0 win.

Would that make you a better striker who than someone who started 40 games and has scored 20 goals at around 180 mins per goal over a season?

It would mean that based on the average time played my ratio was better.
That's all this is, the argument was calling Bakayoko a 1 in 9 striker but my argument was that during that time he's scored a goal every 301 minutes, a perfectly reasonable and well accepted stat by sites like bbc and sky sports, yet to prove an argument on here that a player is shit people won't use it.
You can't on one hand praise Chaplin like some do, then slate Bakayoko despite Bakayoko having a better ratio in similar games played in terms of minutes played last season .. Its nonsensical

No, any sort of win would have been fine, but the key part is that we should have won. We were playing against a hastily thrown together youth team. We won't play an easier game all season.

Yes, but I would class Southend and Bolton's youth as two totally separate things.
Sure, Southend should have been fucked harder, but those cats today should have been put down after half an hour.

So the 19 goals in the 120 games in his last 3 seasons were Alot better right
As stu would say ... He was shit

I don't disagree, we should have won, but our season won't be defined by one result today no matter how disappointing.
Some of the comments on here are embarrassing:
Worst result in our history.
Like Man City losing to Nuneaton
Cunts need to get a grip.
