Title: An Outrageous Prediction?
Post by: chesteralty on July 26, 2011, 11:58:10 AM
I  reckon our very own Michael Twiss will be the BSN top scorer this season.
With Nicky to feed off he will have rich pickings indeed!!

I certainly think Twiss will help other players to score more goals based on his performance against Tranmere. He also forced two good saves out of their keeper.

Not getting carried away but he gave me a lot of cause for optimism (as did the rest of the team!).

if Reeves is fit he could be top scorer, twiss won't really get into enough positions to score over 10 goals imo

Reckon we will score lots this season through Clee, Reeves, Rogan/Mullholand, Jones, Flynn, Densmore.

Reading the title I thought nickycleeclickyknee was predicting another cricket score win, or something with Richman

We have to remember there's 21 games,( meaning we need atleast 21 goals) however I think we will concede less this season

If twiss can hit 10, Damien say 20, Clee 10 and the other striker 10 (plus 8-10 from others) there's 60 goals

We will be challenging for promotion, by the very nature of that we will score more and let in less goals than last season.

If we are top 5 then we will probably have players scoring 20+ goals with others 10+.

I can see Reevesy getting towards the top of the BSN scoring charts this season

Lets not get too carried away here. BSN is a tough league and the rate of scoring is no higher than BSP. We dont have many strikers (actually 2 just now) and with injuries etc I cant see us being high scorers either at present.

Would love to be wrong, the next few games will tell us where we really are,...patience boys :D

Sorry Pukka. I've seen enough BSN games in the past few seasons to tell you that the quality of football is absolutely pants. If Damien is up for it, he'll have a field day, but he does need some support. Hopefully Twiss will be the foil he needs and more importantly, Rogan (another 20-goal BSN striker) signs up. Honestly, it's not a case of me saying that we'll p*** this tin pot league, but we'll be there or there abouts for sure (with Halifax, Droy, Boston and more worryingly Nuneaton) - the quality is that bad.

I agree Twiss is in tip top condition and his ability to hold onto the ball and distribute it well is sublime, and don't get me started on his first touch!! 30 goals plus easy!

We won't score hatfuls this season unless we sign a proven scorer. However, we'll concede even less on what I've seen of our new defence.

Yep, this is an outrageous prediciton.

If Twiss hits double figures i'd be flabbergasted.

You mean "If Twiss hits a barn door at 10 yards you'd be flabbergasted?"

Well gast my flabbers!

Are you having a laugh? He is the same size as last season ffs.

Quite - but we need two. Mulholland just might be the answer if we're lucky. They looked good together tonight.

I'm not saying we wont be, but predicting Twiss to be leading scorer in BSN is fantasyland!

Any idea where he has gone on holiday? Fat camp?

Enough already. It appears that his attitude has improved as have his performances, he's a lot to make up for in last season to become favourable in many people's eyes, but do we really have to continue with the sniping when he actually has done no wrong this season to date? Don't know whether he reads the forum or not, but it's sure to get back to him in some way. Hardly likely to engender further improvement is it?

This. It looks like he's putting in the effort. Ryan Brown was pretty poor last season at times. Let's all have a pop at him, shall we, even when he's playing well?

Early doors and one game at a time, but so far so good. All the lads seem to be trying hard to impress the management which is good to see.. Far too early to start knocking anyone.  New season, new players, New optimism, New hope..
Lets give em a chance..

Cmon ALTY

Yet twiss is still exactly as he was last season, ffs people open your eyes!
Title: Re: An Outrageous Prediction?
Post by: RageAgainstTheFirstTeam on July 27, 2011, 11:13:19 AM
No he isn't. Give him a fkn chance. People go on about how he's massively overweight, actually look at him and look at his build. he's stocky! He had a bad season. We've got him again this season and there's no way around it. He appears to be putting in the effort so shut up and let him get on with it. Maybe he'll start trying and have a decent season, maybe he'll come on here, read all this and decide he won't bother. Got a feeling that if Twiss was our top scorer this season (which he won't be) you would still be on here putting him down. Why don't you agree to withhold this untill you've at least seen him play the next couple of friendlies and 1 competitive game.

Give him a break matey, Twiss appears to be doing alot better this season. BSN might suit him better this time around.

Different circumstances different player.
