When he scored his 16th against Derby with 12 games remaining you’d have banked on him reaching 20.
Still a chance but not likely at this point. Shame he was flogged by both managers.

I got carried away at the time and thought 25 goals was on.
No point in over playing him now and going into next season knackered.
I also thought he'd hit 20 with games to spare. There's still time...
As they don't normally play two games a week, I'd say maybe not.Quote:

I understand that its intense being a professional athlete but two 90 minutes games a week for players in their 20's and 30's doesn't, in my mind, seem to be 'flogging' players.
If you're playing two intense games a week and the players can't cope then perhaps the training and recovery is not quite right.
Probably will get flogged for this but don’t think he’s the fittest guy in the world. Puffing out of his rear after 10 minutesQuote:

Fitness levels should not be judged based on this crazy period of time.
I think it’s just his demeanour, he looks knackered as soon as he emerges from the tunnel. But I reckon the way he’s soldiered on he’s most probably one of, if not, the fittest player in the side, he’s got loads of work to get through due to the way we play and he never chucks the towel in, no rest during the international breaks either, he’s had non stop football for ages.Quote:

I bet he wants to play every match as well.
He’s still got to travel, ok he’s not necessarily playing, but I understand what Mr Parker is saying.Quote:

Players who aren’t called up for international duty have a bit of leisure time I’d imagine while the ones called up work and train as normal with no let up. The only ‘rest’ they get, if you can call it rest, if they aren’t in the starting XI is the minutes they spend on the sideline during the matches. A lot of the hard work is done on the training ground which Moore would have been constantly involved in.Quote:
