PlayItLivo Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 Poleon has scored 7 league goals, which whilst granted is 7 more than I thought he'd get at this level again, doesn't quite credit any argument against us releasing him. Marc Tierney's a good example, although he wasn't given much of a chance here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BP1960 Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 (edited) It seems that way to me, I suppose it depends what the definition of doing well is but a few recent(ish) examples I can think off the top of my head are O'Grady, Rooney and Poleon Jay Fulton, Jonathan Burn, Sam Johnstone, Eoghan O'Connel, Harry Bunn, Jason Lowe, Nick Blackman, Scott Golbourne, Tareiq Holmes-Dennis all with higher clubs, but not much impact here, Matthew Lund doing ok at Rochdale.

My point was that it doesn't surprise me that Holmes-Dennis has done alright. Golbourne possibly too now I've given it some thought. The rest are real noodle scratchers.

yarddog73 Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 I thought Grounds was average but he's managed to hold down a regular spot at Birmingham City. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

opinions4u Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 I thought Grounds was average but he's managed to hold down a regular spot at Birmingham City. Given the series of :censored: left backs since Bertrand's loan ended I think it's fair to say Grounds stood out by comparison. He also gets a bonus point for scraping his studs over Sturridge in the build up to one of our goals against Liverpool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

b0ndl1ne Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 From the Shrews forum: Ladies played the lone striker role well. As Hurst said in his rather telling comment afterwards, he worked their centre backs, "something we wouldn't have had last week".He hit one shot from outside the box in the second half which looked to be on it's way in, but was deflected for a corner. He won his fair share of headers, including a couple from corners which he knocked back into the zone, from beyond the back stick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yarddog73 Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 He didn't do too bad first game for us, granted I never seen him head a ball but to be fair I don't think we have a player who can cross a ball past the first man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

b0ndl1ne Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 Is that the same man b0ndl1ne Aye that's the one. Sounds like he was up front on his own. Ironic that he actually won some headers. Hopefully Clarke smashes him early Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
