Cheers DV, proves the point Paynter is one of the most underated players at the club, both the team and Cox are must better with him up front.

yeah, when ive got a few minutes I'll factor in the strike parnters goals as well.

For example, Corr and Cox on those stats look pretty naff as a partnership as Cox only scored once but Corr got one against Hartlepool, one against Tranmere and two against Bournemouth which would make better reading. Cox and Corr upfront 5 games 5 goals in total.

I think between this season and last Paynter has chipped in with at least 15 so as well. At a guess id say all of those were with Coxy as well.

I love a good stat me....

I have to say that at Bournemouth Cox and Corr looked a bloody good combination

Thanks for reminding me about Tanner - made Richard Dryden look like Maldini

I hate the twats around me abusing Paynter all the time. I feel like I'm the only one who likes him. His range of passing is really good, some of the link-up play he does with Cox is sublime. The only problem I have with him is his tendency to be really good one match, then a lazy fuck the next game. And his shot accuracy can be a bit off sometimes.

We look a much better team with him in the squad IMO.

I hear Jay Simpson has just been offered a new long term contract strood, i was well surprised by that.

He's a good player but he won't make it at Arsenal. i see him as a top of the Championship and pushing for the bottom of the Prem type striker, see Jason Roberts/Leon Mackenzie/maybe even  Nathan Ellington.

Is going to WBA on loan in January. That should show what he's really made of.

I expect three starts, 11 sub apps and two goals. I'm going to miss him at the reserves that's for sure.

Cox & Arrieta - 1 game 2 goal (Cox 1, Arrieta 1)
 - 2 goals every game
Cox with Peacock - 8 games 6 goals (Cox 4, Peacock 2)
 - goal every 1.33 games
Cox with Sturrock - 7 games 3 goals (Cox 2, Sturrock 1)
 - goal every 2.33 games
Cox with Ashikodi - 1 games 0 goals (Cox 0, Ashikodi fucking wank)
 - no goal every game!!
Cox with Corr - 5 games 5 goal (Cox 1, Corr 4)
 - goal every game
Cox with Paynter - 43 games 38 goals (Cox 24, Paynter 14)
 - goal every 1.13 games


So, Cox most lethal strike partnership was with Ibon Arrieta as they average 2 goals every time they play together.

After that its Cox and Corr who manage on average a goal every time they play together although Corr gets most of them.

Next is Cox and Paynter who manage on average a goal every 1.13 games. They have played the most games together and scored the most overal. Cox has chipped in with 10 more goals than Paynter.

So Corr plays best with Cox who plays best with Arrieta.

So, Leefer was right we need a quality front man, we need to bring back Ibon Arrieta.

In truth, I dont know how other forwards do but 38 goals in 43 games is pretty good i'd say and more than good enough for this league. What with Corr being a decent additional striker (when bloody fit) I'd say we are doing alright in the striking department.

...and there is no chance in hell im going to work out the back 5 and games played together and goals conceeded!
