Carlton the Tree Cole

Found this while on the bus on my way to work this morning , thought it
was interesting seeing as Cole has been getting so much stick of late



1. Cole has now scored 10 goals in his last 15 games.
2. But a much more significant stat is that Cole has now STARTED 111 games for West Ham and has scored 42 goals.
3. That works out at one goal per 2.6 starts, or as near as damn it 1 goal per 2.5 starts.
3. Di Canio scored 51 goals from 137 starts, at a rate of one goal per 2.68 starts - inferior to Cole's you might notice.
4. Ashton got his 19 goals at a rate of 2.26, only marginally better than Cole's.
5. MacAvennie scored 60 from 169 starts, that's 1 goal per 2.81 starts, inferior to Cole's!
6. Cottee got his 160 goals at a rate of 1 per 2.21 games, not hugely better than Cole's!
7. Cole has suffered one major lean spell, when he scored twice in 33 games. And that was under Zola! Take away that barren patch and his record stands comparison with the West Ham gods!

Fair point well put Geeze, the problem with Cole, for me anyway, is not so much his scoring record it the fact that he could be such an incredible player, but half the time he just look as if he can't be arsed! He came on for 10 mins on Sunday and he bullied the Scousers defence, he tore Skertal and carragher apart for his goal, he was awesome. But...............to often he looks as if he just can't be bothered. I would love to see him play with Ba and Obinna, with Parker, Noble and Hitzleberger pulling the strings it would be fantastic to see, power, pace and skill, Even I can see light at the end of the tunnel and for once I don't think its an express coming the other way.

Interesting.....

I've always moaned about him, but credit where it's due....well done Carlton
