It all comes down to opinion.
Corr for me will score goals a plenty if fit, which is very unlikely.
Paynter is a workhorse will never be prolific, but there again Mark Hughes wasn't either for Man U.
It is just a personal preference, for me, a fit Corr before Paynter any day.
We all see things differently.
with Corr its always big IFs!! IF i was alot better than i really am at football id score loads for swindon |

That also doesnt take into account sub appearences or what division those appearences were made in. Just gone purely for games played and goals scored. Not even im that sad to break it down any further.
What would make it easier is if they were on a level playing field, same division, same club... Wait a second... eureka! they are! What do the stats say for goals per game in a Swindon shirt DV? Opinion is great, i would love it if Paynter proved me wrong. |

Paynter played ace yesterday, if anyone thinks Corr should have been playing instead of him they're a fucking knobhead.
If Paynter's performances slacken you will have a point then and only then.

Its not just a hunch that Corr will come good this season. Hes a lot bigger, hes worked really hard in pre season.
In my opinion he is a top footballer. Not just a goal scorer. Just think his luck will change this year.
I dont know what your views on Roberts' long term absenses have been? But im not even excited about Roberts comming back. Hes one of the most unfocused players Ive ever seen and its time for him to go. Barry Corr is a top notch footballer and is well worth the wait. Hes not done anything to contribute to his own downfall, hes just been unlucky. The shoulder injury was a freak one.
Paynter was brilliant yesterday, and no ones saying Corr should waltz back in and take his place. But Paynter isnt the most consistent player around. Im sure there will come a time where we need a shake up.

Corr wasn't match fit so no. Paynter played well, but nothing to have an orgasm about mate.  |

Barry Corr last season - 9 starts 11 sub appearences. 5 goals Billy Paynter last season - 26 starts 14 sub appearences. 10 goals So Barry Corr made 20 appearences and got 5 goals. 1 in 4 spot on Billy Paynter made 40 appearences and got 10 goals. 1 in 4 spot on That is just Swindon games/goals last season. League & Cup. Doesnt include Corrs stint in League Two or Paynters goal this season... |

Spencer it is partly his own fault, he demands to play when he isnt ready to play, suppose thats down to Malpas aswell for giving in

Corr wasn't match fit so no. Paynter played well, but nothing to have an orgasm about mate. Paynter played as well as Cox did, just obviously couldn't play the whole game. As for Corr, I look forward to him coming back properly match fit, I think he does have more talent than Paynter but I'd prefer Malpas to play people of the merits of their form and at the moment there would be little point in dropping Paynter on that basis. Oh and I agree with SW about Roberts. |

Bollocks. Anyone can play well for one game, i think Eric Sabin managed it once or twice too. I based my point on all the other games he's played for us, not just the one. I don't think anyone on here is saying Corr should have played instead of Paynter yesterday - so your knobhead comment seems pointlessly aggressive - been on the afternoon Stellas Si? And no, Paynter should continue to start if he continues to play like he did yesterday. When he returns to the Paynter of last season, it's time for him to move over. And at that point I hope Corr stays fit enough to not give him another opportunity. |

The whole debate started because od Juddies post where he said something along the lines of 'Im gutted Corr didnt start' so clearly someone thought he should have started ahead of Paynter.
Also, who is to say the Billy Paynter of last season is the 'real' Billy Paynter and the one yesterday isnt? Paynter played in fits and spells last season. He had good games he had bad games and still came out of the season with a 1 in 4 scoring records. Which as pointed out was identical to Barry Corr.

All down to personal opinions as many have stated earlier. Good thing is, we have options, we are not reliant on just one player being fit all the time for us to score goals this season. |

I can't wait until i'm bored enough to work out goals per playing minute.  That'll be when i'm back at work then... |
