Boyd in that game and last season is like day and night for me.
I do believe that Boyd doubled his goal scoring tally from the last two seasons in half an hour last night, He never looked anything like composed finished in the past.
If the rumours about contract conflicts are true maybe we actually ought to give him more money or whatever it is he wants.
Edit: yep 2 goals in in 2 seasons and 44 appearances with 1590 minutes
This season 2 appearances 32 minutes and 2 goals.
He started out as a kid. Then he basically got asked to shoulder much more than he should have because the team was in a nose dive. Add to that he's always been more a wide player who cuts in than a striker and then the fact that the team is better across the board, and he showed a lot of unrealised potential, and has been dynamic in the ASBP and... no surprise and those stats don't really show how good he is as a player
It's possible he won't be as consistently good as his showing yesterday and that he won't get the calls, but we can hope he does! He also was really good against Adelaide away one year, and had a pen saved by Galekovic, which might have given him a bit of confidence, but didn't.
Also Ernie's record- Kruse, Burns...we can hope Boyd too...
