Austin's been cup tied as well.
Only for the FA Cup though, he played in the Mickey Mouse Tin Pot Trophy. In fact he was on the pitch for 25 minutes against Norwich and didn't score, which practically means its his fault we're not going to Wembley. |

Austin is doing well...his 12 in his first 14 is exactly the same as Bill Stephens managed in 46/47...Stephens started the season mind and went on to score 26..the joint record for many years until surpassed by Cox.
Bill was sold on to West Ham as a consequence and did bugger all afterwards.
Harry Morris managed 16 in his first 14...and went on to score 47 that season.

I reckon Coxy missed a lot more chances than Austin does-but does that mean Cox worked harder to get the opportunities because as has been mentioned we are now playing better football?

Cox scored some wonder goals but missed a few sitters too. Austin on the other hand is incredibly clinical and i'd fancy him to score on almost every clear cut opportunity he has in front of goal. Cox's missed chances were cancelled out by his moments of brilliance as last season, we were hardly a particularly creative team and he had to make his chances himself.
Had we not got a much better midfield this year, I'd be interested to see how Charlie would have managed. (Not saying that he's not capable) but the service he and Billy are getting this year is far better than Billy and Cox had last year)
Its hard to compare them but I'd like to think this years partnership will beat the 44 that were scored last season.

The critical thing is that last season we were looking for Cox to score. Billy P would work hard but didn't score enough so defenders were most concerned about the one player.
This season is totally different. They are both on hot streaks leaving defenders with the problem of worrying about both of them equally.
It would be nice if Charlie got a hat trick soon, just to get back to a goal a game ratio.

That's true Phil. Also I think there has been a lot of hype about Charlie recently that teams are trying to mark him out (Charlton have been the only team to manage it successfully really) and that leaves Billy with a bit more freedom.

Is it my imagination or has most of Charlies goals been fairly early in matches..not all i know,as he gets stronger and used to the rigours of pro football he is going to score shedloads.

When he first joined there was a pattern of Billy scoring first every week and Charlie getting the second. Recently he has scored quite a few early goals though. |

I only recall Austin missing one clear cut chance against Charlton at home. Such a good finisher.
