He scored two goals in the FA Cup though………….against us! Has all the talent in the world, started at Man City and gradually worked his way down, thick as pig :censored: and a complete numpty but if anyone could get into that thick skull of is he could be awesome.

LeylandLatic Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 If Davies goes to a CHampionship club he'll get a season and then be shipped out. He doesn't have the all round game to make it at that level. He's fairly quick and can dribble a bit and his finishing is ok but you need more than that as a championship striker. You saw numerous times here how poor his decision making was. He completely failed at Wolves and he'll fail in the Championship again if he gets there.

Zorrro Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 Just waiting for frothing lefty rants about the mail...... I'm definitely no lefty, but the Mail is a deplorable rag read by dribbling buffoons. And old people. Sometimes both at once. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rosa Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 i seem to remember Simon Corney saying when we sold him "He could be playing in the Championship in 5 years time, or he could just as easily not be involved in football anymore". Still expecting him to hit the self-destruct button to be honest. (and reading the Daily Mail is like listening to the office bigot have a meltdown because her HRT's run out) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leeslover Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 I'm definitely no lefty, but the Mail is a deplorable rag read by dribbling buffoons. And old people. Sometimes both at once. A family member reads it online to reinforce prejudices said person has no direct experience of. A fine publication. Davies is a cock though. Will get 5 more clubs banking on the chance that he will sort himself out with them, maybe he will, more likely he won't. It's the gamble we took with Hughes and Rickets.

PlayItLivo Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 (edited) He was made a scapegoat here.....his offence? Headbutting a Rochdale player in a Carling Cup game which we went on to win anyway. : / He had like 14 goals by mid January in his first season with us then got injured for the second half. And then when he returned from Stockport just before he was shipped out he looked a real threat, seemd to have a drive to try and get back into the team, in the sub appearances against Hartlepool and Huddersfield iirc. But we shipped him out and got Windass instead. Shez didn't half do some dumb shít. Edited January 6, 2011 by PlayItLivo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Headbutting a Rochdale player in a Carling Cup game which we went on to win anyway. : / You’re wrong there, many people already thought he was a dumbass before that, but the sending off merely underlined it further. Though probably would have preferred him to Windass..... and Feeney for that matter. Edited January 6, 2011 by jimsleftfoot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youngen Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 You’re wrong there, many people already thought he was a dumbass before that, but the sending off merely underlined it further. Though probably would have preferred him to Windass..... and Feeney for that matter. And Kelly, and taylor up top, and kiegan parker, and pawel abbott, and brett ormerod! The list is endless, he scores goals, and did so for us. I dont see why people disliked him, I always thought he looked dangerous and looked like scoring goals, unlike most of the strikers weve had since!

mattsgrandad Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 so your a stockport fan ? oops - me rushing in with my size 13's - confused him with the other ex-Latics player (Chris O'Grady). My excuse ? - the clue is in the name! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shez didn't half do some dumb shít. having no reserve team meant we had no squad, which led to his demise at the club although you were right he was the scapegoat at time (then when he left it was all Eardleys fault) I remember against Hartlepool he came off the bench and ran his socks off making up for the fact we were a man-down and someone on here still accused him of being lazy, some people accuse of players being stupid but how the frig was his performance that day lazy?

Roger Ritchie Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 If a player headbutts an opposition player in a local derby and doesn't seriously hurt them, then they should be shipped out. Local pride is at stake! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
