Going on 2 strikers up front who would you play from the list below?

 

Lovell

Brewster

Mackie

Maguire

Miller

 

I would go for Mackie and Lovell

Tough one given how they have performed this season so far, but I think I would go for Lovell & Miller.

I would put all the names in a hat and pick 2 each Saturday.

 

Seriously I would agree with Lovell and Miller

Why not?  That's what JC does 

Miller and Lovell. Big man to hold up the ball and a goal scorer for him to feed it to. Players you can mix the service to, high balls to Miller, low ones to Lovell's feet (that's an important one. He's pish in the air, Jimmy...). Brewster as first choice sub on account of his legs' inability to last a full 90 these days.

Well, for all you Miller pickers - he would be my last choice........slow lazy bastard

 

Craig Brewster and some Aberdeen fans wait to find out the line up and formation for the next game.

Lovell and Maguire if we were to play proper football, otherwise Lovell and Brewster/Miller. As long as we've got Lovell in there, I'm happy.

Lovell and Miller/Notphil

based on the weekend's form, you'd have to say mackie and brewster.

 

there's still far too much blind faith placed in steve lovell, when he's done the square root of fcuk all this season to justify it.

 

 

Derek Young as a lone striker.

Would have to agree with mackie and Special Brew, but with the way things are turning out, maybe mackie and maguire. Lovell has done fuck all too many times. Seems to have lost all his confidence for some reason. 

Lovell needs the ball into his feet, or else he's next to useless. He's the 5th top SPL goalscorer of all time, and he got most of those playing for a Dundee team that played the ball through for him to run onto or for him to control with his feet. We hoof it skywards for him to head on too many times. If we are to play proper football, he should be in there every time.

Lovell & Miller for me (Miller must come really good sometime)

Well, for all you Miller pickers - he would be my last choice........slow lazy bastard

  :thumbsup:

 

Lovell and Mackie should start every game.  For me Lovell is the most natural striker and would really benefit from Clark/Smith/DeVisscher getting to the by-line and pulling the ball back acorss the goals.  Perhaps Lee Millar would be more effective too if he had this type of service but for me, he is too lazy, to quick at going to ground and I reckon Brewster could out-sprint him.  Mackie may not be naturally talented but he shows heart, he's not lazy and he wants to play for the club (plus he's been top scorer 2 out of last 3 seasons).  Brewster as a supersub for last 20 mins - He again would benfit from our 'wingers' beating their man on the outside and crossing the ball into the box.....something that they rarely do.

Got me thinkin. Who are the four above him?

 

Obviously Larsson is number one. I'd presume someone like Hartson would probably be 2nd, with maybe Kris Boyd being third.

 

Ain't got a clue who'd be next, and would only hazard a guess at someone like Rod Wallace.

Chris Sutton, i'd wager.

11  McSwegan

14  Adverladze

15  Mackie

 

Interesting list - where you find that?

Wikipedia

 

typed in 'SPL all time top scorers' into google

And here was me trusting my weekend Red Final. Sure it said Lovell was 5th of all time with 47 or so goals, with Mackie 7th on 42...

 

Ah well, my bad. 

did football start when the SPL was created?

Pisses me off that folk seem to write 100+ years of football. Mind you atleast we're not as bad as the EPL-courtesy of BSkyB.  Absolute everything down south is talked about since the Premier League was founded

Started? No. But, having seen the last few years of "action", i would argue that football might have stopped when the SPL was created.......

42!!!!!! Cannae quite believe he's scored that many. One in every three games, roughly. If only he got a bit wiser in his game, he'd easily make that tally once in every two games! Then we'd not be having this discussion about who to play upfront. Instead, it'd be "who do we partner alongside Mackie?"

 

Seriously, I'd argue that list from Wikipedia. Wallace scored a shitload of goals for the Huns. He's got to be in that list somewhere. According to Soccerbase, he scored 41 in the league for them.

Also noticed that Larrsons goal total is 25 more on wikipedia that it is on the SPL site.
