[QUOTE=tetsujin1979;1339631]what does that even mean? "doesn't miss the easy important chances"? So if he doesn't miss the difficult important chances what will he be? Or if he misses the difficult insignificant chances then what?[/QUOTE

Go figure...

I figure that you honestly have no idea of what you're talking about.

it's just a word I use a lot without any offence, just a habit.

18 goals in 31 games now this season. Got a consolation tonight off the bench.

I'd like to see how Stokes would get on with a League One club. Would twenty from forty six matches be too much to expect?

He's had a few spells with Championship sides and failed miserably.

True but you can't map his career based on a couple of loan spells in his teens (playing wide midfeild also). There was a time when Dave Connolly was keeping out Kevin Phillips in a Watford side at that level. But who went on to have a good career in the top flight. I've no love for Stokes if I'm honest but I wouldn't right him off as an option just yet.

How can anyone write him off at 21 yrs of age is beyond me. Its be a great season for him, despite current standards in the SPL. Confidence should be very high, hopefully he kicks on and perhaps has another good season with Hibs and perhaps a move up the ladder after that. If he continues this form he will undoubtedly be at least a squad member for the forthcoming campaign.

A mention for Jon Daly as well who scored in the same game. I think thats 10 league goals in 19 league appearances for him this season. Playing really well in a Dundee Utd side that will more than likely finish 3rd. I appreciate at 27 he probably wont step up to anything like international standard but nonetheless good to see him performing well.

Six goals is not a great amount over a playing career, one extra goal a year would be enough.

The real reason he won't get close to the record is that he is not playing or indeed in the squad!!

Another goal from Stokes today.

Albeit from the spot, what I saw of the goal, wasnt a great standard. Having said that the lad deserves to be in the squad on his season form.

Decent spot kick, nestled in the corner. You cant ask for much more than that.

I only seen the highlights so can't comment on his overall performance.

He did commit a horrible 2 footed challenge later in the game though. Had the referee seen it, it would surely have been a red card. Its not the first time Ive seen him showing 'attitude' on the pitch, if he can keep it in check then the fiestiness will be a great asset to his game, however its the keeping it in check that might prove troublesome!

Incidentally, Jon Daly scored a brace at the weekend. First was a keepers error that rebounded in off him (The SPL's 7000th goal). The second was a well taken right footed volley straight off a corner. I reckon he deserves his own thread at this stage
