When will Matty score?

[Gen (MarinerMum)]

I've seen some great goals by Matty, leave him alone.  He changes the play up front, he goes for everything, not like sasho, and he creates space for others and Aloisi.

He has to be on the park more.  I've also seen him improve greatly in other aspects of his play so the goals will come.

Don't be so freaking precious - fact remains he hasn't scored a goal in the A-League.

The thread means no harm.

How does Simon not cop the shizen thrown at kwassie last season?
Simon couldnt score in a brothel this year. It also doesnt look like he is improving.
I like his work ethic, but he is below kwassie's standard by some way. Where is his own thread of 33 pages?

I dont care much for his ability, he adds something when he comes on with some pace and hard work against tiring defenders. But someone tell him as soon as he has a chance to shoot, to pass to anyone else for a shot.

My opinion. Prove me wrong Matty

Because Simon isn't our only outlet this season. We've got Sasho, Aloisi and for a period Mrdja.

Last season it was Kwassy leading the front-line and there were a lot higher expectations than Matty.

Because Simon is a local  :-\

I'm with you thou Jesus, Simon has got a great engine and works very hard, but when your a striker your paid to score goals, he's still got a lot of learning to do. He's had the chances to score, perhaps nerves get to him? who knows? 1 day he will score and bluetongue will erupt.

I have no doubt he'll have another year or 2 to prove himself as a goal scorer.

Thanks JAM80, I was starting to get pretty confused by a few of these comments... The thread doesn't read...Matt Simon, what's wrong with bloody kid... or some such.

It says "when will Matty score..." then... it has to happen sometime... when do you think that's gonna be... AND WHATS THE HEADLINE GONNA SAY!!!

For those who interpreted this thread as a negative, I apologise, however it clearly isn't written on the page that way, as also evidenced by the bulk of great positive posts - such as yellowcake's - who clearly also saw straight through what I was really trying to achieve. Personally at least, I'm on a mission to gather as much positive fire and belief as possible over this "too long" break, and I find these responses a joy to read. There's also been plenty of good humour -
"You forgot to mention what year" is just plain funny!
So for that matter is Strikers, "Beijing" post. 
"when he gets more game time" is telling and I think most agree with.
But as to the more critical or doubtful posts, they have also been backed up by the person expressing clear and sound reasoning, and I certainly haven't felt any were simply just looking to be negative or malicious. The harshest would I guess be jesus's post, but he's also expressed clear reasoning, and also a desire to be proven bloody wrong!!!!
Not too much more you can ask for in my opinion...

When: 2nd leg of major SF obviously

Headline reads: Full of finesse Matty S blasts past slowish Covic
(now you can see why I'm known in the Mariners dressing room as a bit of a poet)

Thanks for the thread in my honour guys, now I gotta hit up training.

Matty S out

 

[rev]

Woah, can't have Matt Simon being the last forum poster for the night.  I hope he's at least playing - and learning from - FIFA 08 on XBOX being up this late.

headline reads: people banned from forum for impersonating players

 

[bikinigirl]

. the mariners go through to the GF off the boot of matty simon following first half own goals by spencer & holland
