Ivanhoe: How many goals this season?

[LeeB]

20. (7 in the F.A. Cup)

[The Left Side]

As with all the Villa players, consistent and injury free and he should get 10-15 goals in all competitions, ok maybe just 10 but after today I can get a little carried away.

[villa1]

10 goals I reckon.

[WikiVilla]

I'll go 14

The original and best

[SoccerHQ]

7-8.

[Lobsterboy]

7-8.

That's a bit harsh! Unless of course you think he is going to struggle with injury for the rest of the season; he's scored 6 in 13 so far hasn't he?

Should comfortably score 10-11 for me and fair play to him he has improved beyond recognition since Houllier took over

Up The Villa

[ktvillan]

He's made a big difference for us this season and was never as bad as some were making out last season.  Shame he's been a bit fragile on the injury front.

[supertom]

I'm quite sure, in something akin to a Van Damme training sequence in Kickboxer, Emile spent all summer long in the wilderness, with only an Eagle and a wizened master for company, hitting barn doors with banjos!

[N'ZMAV]

His more direct style is excellent. He'll get 10 in all comps.

[phantom limb]

His header against Wolves was brilliant, I reckon he can get 10-15 if he doesn't get injured.

[old man villa fan]

I always thought that he didn't fit in with the way Villa played under the previous manager and that when he played we looked less of a side.

Heskey is looking better this season as generally the balls up to him are looking better quality and giving him less to do in winning the ball.  Consequently he is giving less fouls away and looks a better player for it.  What we need now is the other forwards and midfield players to read his play better to make use of the balls he wins.

Still think he is not dangerous enough to lead the line and be the goalscorer we need.

[not3bad]

Keeping free of injury will be a big issue for him, but he could get up to 15.

[Rudy Can't Fail]

Regardless of how many goals he'll score this season, I thought yesterday was his best display in a Villa shirt, he won everything and always looked a threat. He's had a horrid time at Villa Park and never been accepted by the fans until now but you can see he finally feels part of the club, even if he's yet to celebrate a goal with the fans. It will happen. He managed to smile for the first time when he scored against WBA and yesterday's celebration appeared to be a demonstration of his strength. He's happy and it shows.

[frank]

He came over to us to celebrate after his goal yesterday, rather than turning away, which he usually does. And at the end, when he was about to walk straight off, GH sent him back down to our end, where he got the applause he deserved.
