    Humans or not they are highly paid professional sports people, training to block out criticism from fans and regular users of sports scientists. They should man up.

    Or the players have woken up, smelt the coffee and realised that if they continue to sulk (pining for their mate Stuart) and don't carry out what Grayson asks them to do they could be unemployable on the 1st july.

    In hindsight, was Wyke ever worth more than the release clause ? Ok he's scored 30 goals in 70 matches for us, but that's more to do with him being our focal point upfront and no bugger else chipping in with more than 5. Hanson (playing alongside Wells) regularly scored 10-12 a season to add to Well's 20. Sometimes the goals that the second striker scores are more important than the goals the "only" striker scores.

    Hanson's presence created goals for others. Wyke's doesn't.

    To be fair without getting into the Hanson debate again Charlie has never carried that presence, he gets bullied far to often IMO, and unfortunately he does not have the pace to change his game.

    Maybe were playing him in the wrong position he might be more comfortable in an attacking midfield role, Dack score 18 goals and Oztumer has scored 14 goals ;).

    When is an assist not an assist eh ? Stats for assists mean diddly, other than them making McMahon look like Roberto Carlos. Hanson my not have been anywhere in the "assists" stats but his general presence did more to "assist" the creation of goals than a set of figures showing McMahon's corners have led to ten goals. If it weren't for Hanson's presence in the box those assists would in all probability led to nothing.

    Stats don't show him providing many assists for Wells but the space he created allowed Wells the opportunity to close down one defender rather than two and score more.

    Assists stats are about as worthwhile as the transcripts from the South African Truth & Reconciliation committee are.

    Chop a foot off his legs and he could sit next to you, feeding you marshmallows in your gimp suit. As the great Marc Almond once said ........................

    Isn't it nice
    Sugar and spice
    Luring disco dollies
    To a life of vice
    I can make a film
    And make you my star
    You'll be a natural
    The way you are
    I would like you
    On a long black leash
    I will parade you
    Down the high streets
    You've got the attraction
    You've got the pulling power
    Walk my doggie
    Walk my little sex dwarf

    We can make a scene
    We'll be a team
    Making the headlines
    Sounds like a dream
    When we hit the floor
    You just watch them move aside
    We will take them
    For a ride of rides
    They all love your
    Miniature ways
    You know what they say
    About small boys

    Sex dwarf
    Sex dwarf
    Sex dwarf

    I'm a Rolls Royce
    Look its so huge!
    It's big and it's gold
    With my dumb chauffeur
    Looking to procure
    Run little doggie
    Lure a disco dolly
    Run my little sex dwarf
    I feel so lonely
    Get my little camera
    Take a pretty picture
    Sex dwarf in a gold Rolls
    Making it with the dumb chauffeur

    Pardon?
    Surely it's to his credit that's he's scored so many when no-one else looks capable of scoring???
    And surely the likelihood is he'd score even more with a decent strike partner alongside him (not to mention some decent crosses coming in too).

    Yep, I'd much prefer a striker to not get bullied than score goals. That's where the real forwards earn their money. Who cares if he's only scored 1 goal in his last 30 or 40 games.

    *Another gem from the footballing oracle that is Bronco*

    Charlie can be replaced. A mannequin should do the same job, but probably a bit quicker and technically better.
