I think I'll go to Clayton playing field on a Sunday when the seaon starts and knock up a video of future stars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flemboy Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 As you say Holloway was OK but that is it...nothing else.For a striker who cost us £100000 to score 4 goals in 60 games even as a sub in many cases is crap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ritchierich Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 We’ve lost a decent player there, Shrewsbury are currently a step up from us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whittles left foot Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 Be interesting to see if he passes any comments in interviews about his time here like the other forward who has recently left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other aspects to his game were good though in my opinion. It will be interesting to see how he does at a well run club like Shrewsbury. Replacing him with a past his best Chris O'Grady (who also was 'crap' in his time here but couldn't stop scoring after he left) doesn't fill me confidence either. O'Grady can actually hold the ball and use it, Holloway just wants a wrestling match. When he isn't rolling around on the floor that is.

I agree that O'Grady can hold the ball up and use it. He did that well the first time he was here but didn't score any goals. He doesn't seem to have been doing it recently either. He's not a goalscorer but as battering ram option I would choose him over Holloway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe Bunn can get that confidence back into him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steveecky Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 O’Grady 7 goals in last 117 appearances. That’s nowhere near good enough for a striker - better ones must be free agents surely. I’ve never seen the point of non-scoring strikers no matter how well they lead the line or hold the ball up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maximus1267 Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 For me similar to Holloway, both physical, will hold the ball up and will cause problems for defenders but NOT goalscorers. Here is my logic or opinion. WE get money for Holloway and replace him with a similar O'Grady who has played at higher level and it could be argued, be more experienced. We now use this Holloway and Davies money to help finance a goalscorer, Doyle etc. So we would still have a battering ram style forward but gained the finances to acquire a goalscorer. Either good business, good fortune or I'm way off the mark with my logic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 Any money raised from those two wouldn’t finance Doyle’s leg. He’ll probably want 6k+ a week and I imagine the fee will be £300k-£500k. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ddot_m Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 I don’t think that offloading a striker that can’t score is bad business. Put him back at CB and maybe there is a player there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he has no desire to get in one box and get on the end of crosses what makes you think he'd have the heart to put his body on the line in the other?
