Do we miss N'Gog?

To come to a point I've made before, is it arguable that even at his conventional worst, Ngog offers something of vital importance to this Bolton team?

It was a good result today but we struggled in the final third. Sordell and CDavies got through some good work, but I don't include intelligent, effective hold up/off play in that.

Might we see in the remaining two/five games just how crucial this scapegoat was to our play all along?

Ngog is crap. I want more than a bit of hold up play. He actually has less assists than Kevin Davies despite playing more games.

I await your "Do We Miss SKD" thread Doff.

Ngog is shit and we didn't miss him one bit today.

He links play up very well, he's not an out and out forward who will bang the goals in as we have seen, so he won't be a big miss in that regard.

Still, I have more than enough faith in Craig, Sordell and Eaves to get us the goals needed.

Unfortunately for Ngog he hasn't scored enough goals, with a few more of those under his belt we would have been worried about losing him at this stage. Personally I don't mind him, but he is frustrating at times.

We can still go on without him, I want to see more of CD tbh.

Tom Eaves impressed me today.

Impressed me as well. He's got some way to go before he's a fully fledged first team prospect- his touch was sometimes a bit heavy ,but there looked like loads of potential
I thought Sordell was a bit lazy today

Agree.

Agree too, hopefully we see allot more him.

You silly cow.

It's about goals normally. Of which Ngog has two more than Davies, three if you count the one wrongly disallowed against Cardiff. In five games fewer.

As for assists, I can't believe people read into statistics like that. Some of the balls credited as assists - you might as well talk about every pass a player ever completes.

He has TWO more goals than Davies? Wow, he should be playing for France!

You absolute bellend. You think SKD is the worst player in the squad, but Ngog is some sort of midunderstood genius despite having a very similar goals/assists ratio as Davies.

Delete your account please Doffcocker.

Ngog is not that vital so that we will lose every game without him as we won but we are in no way a better team without him. DF seems to have found a balance where he has some players who are at similar standards and can be rotated or step easily in if one injured.

The one thing I did notice today was the willingness of Craig Davies to shoot on sight rather than walk the ball into the net, just two minutes in he forced an outstanding save out of Steele.

Yes we miss him .

Miss him - people still can't even spell his bloody name right after two seasons with us - it's Ngog NOT N'Gog!



(Ngood or Ngoals are acceptable alternatives)

Ngog is our best striker, so yes we miss him.

I disagree

You need to look up the term 'striker' in the dictionary.

He's definitely the best 'run about a bit let the ball bounce off your shin blaze the ball wide when easier to score' player we have though.

Ngog is class, we missed his holding play and his passing, Cravies is a rougher version of Ngog.

SKD gained legendary status for all of the above except Ngog isn't lazy and doesn't sit on his arse looking astonished.
