dannyboy55555 Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 Looks decent. Still don't understand why we signed O'Grady and Miller though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think if he bags 10 in 20 he is actually more likely to stay. He isn't ready for first team in Championship. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnafoafc Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 Noticed he’s signed a new deal at Wigan today too. At least he knows how to bag at this level, a 1 in 3 strike rate for a shite Morecambe team is a decent return. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is obviously no point loaning a player that can bag 10 goals in 20.... what is the point in that!!?? Imagine actually asking that question on a lower league football forum..... What's the point is singing a player that might bag 10 in 20? Jesus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

League one forever Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 At least the two young lads up front have both proved they can score at this level. Good luck to him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sjk2008 Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 (edited) Having witnessed COG's performance at the weekend, experienced strikers can fuck off for the time being - I'm all for giving youth a chance. Both Surridge & Lang have scored goals at this level already - for atrocious L2 teams - so I'd rather plump for these 2 up top with Baxter just behind, than have to watch that excuse for a footballer ever again.

Totally agree. Both have very recent experience of scoring at this level. Unlike our other 'experienced' strikers. Looks a good signing this one.

leeslover Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 We reach a stage now and again when some people really get caught trying too hard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simpo Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 Averaged a goal every 144 minutes in this division last season. And he should only improve. Seems like just the kind of forward we've been looking for. At first, being an untried youngster, he was only given a go in Morecambe's team off the bench, and then not used at all for a stretch from October to November. He got his first goal in December, and went on to score 5 in that month as he was given his first starts. He then seemingly took a couple of knocks over January, then was back in the team scoring some important goals as the Shrimps staved off relegation. Hopefully, like Surridge, this will be valuable experience going into their second senior season of regular football. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can see why we've moved in for him sharpish if we were perhaps being kept waiting for Connor Hall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
