TheBigDog Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 SMS. Overwhelmed by this signing I really am! I am underwhelmed also - but as always willing to give the guy a try... Stats show that he is a 1 in 8 goalscorer: All time playing career Club Hartlepool Loan 4 (0) 0 Doncaster Free 74 (74) 18 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

losesome Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 This has now gone past desperation and borders on sheer lunacy by a mentally deranged manager. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slystallone Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 And today’s lucky winner of 'ah panic; quick where that list of my previous clubs playing squads' is……….Lewis Guy. Come on down. At this stage of the season; I was hardly expecting anyone who was brought in to a world beater but this just smacks of desperation. A 1 in 8/9 striker who’s not scored for nearly 2 ½ years – exactly what we needed to come in and bang in the goals to help our survival. We already have a Keigan Parker to wander around and flatter to deceive – to stand upfront with Pav and aimlessly run without ever threatening to do anything. Oh, and fall over lots. We’re now paying for someone else’s to come and do that – joy. Oh well; here's hoping that Lewis comes in and amazes us all with a fantastic output of 5 goals in 5 starts to propel us up the league…….

Wardie Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 Flabbergasted! He will probably play him on the wing. Sod that! He's probably still injured and won't last more than two games. Crap move...another raid on the old stomping ground is just re-enforcing Penney's apparent inability to bring in the required personnel. My reluctance to say "get rid" is slowly being worn away.

drphibes rises again Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 A career record of 1 in 8 does not make the mouth water but you have to give the lad a chance. Cannot help feeling that our scouting network is not upto much and with the Donny/ Hudders connections. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsslatic Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 (edited) So the manager brings in a good striker two weeks ago, but said striker then gets injured for six weeks. The manager then gets on the phone, agrees a deal with a club but can't get the player to come, so gives his fringe striker a chance to perform on Saturday. By all accounts he plays dreadfully, so rather than sit back and let him play again in three days time, he does what most of the fans seem to think he should - bring another striker in to supersede the apparent waste-of-space who looks disinterested in playing for the team. Rather than wait until the day of the game to bring in a striker (and let us not forget that last time the manager brought in a player on the day of a game at Edgeley Park he was lambasted by a large section of the support for doing so), he brings in a player the day before so he can train with the team and get to know them before they play together. Having exhausted all other options in the previous week and in need of someone in as quick as possible (because the fringe striker is seemingly the spawn of Satan), the manager turns to a player who he knows and is available to come. Give the bloke a break. Welcome to BP, Lewis. Edited March 15, 2010 by jsslatic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give the bloke a break. Welcome to BP, Lewis. I'd give Guy a break; I'll support him when he plays and hope he scores. However, Penney needs to go and if we avoid relegation with Guy's goals then it's delaying the inevitable and masking the mistake of having Penney at the helm.

We need goals, so what does he do - ok brandy turned us down, but he goes for his old mates again just like moore did ala swailes scott etc. This lad aint scored for 2 1/2 YEARS!!!! How about franks from boro? clarke from blackpool? (granted he turned us down in june but still) mcphee from blackpool? (injury prone but at least has scored goals in the past) This signing is purely PATHETIC and DESPERATE Give Eaves a go - he at least has scored 15+ for the youths and ressies over the past years and montha, not gone 2yrs without one. Just like dean brill - an ABSOLUTE JOKE! You just don't help yourself do you Dave........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think my previous wish for Penney to be sacked has actually been surpassed by a desire for him to do well and prove these people who knock him at every opportunity wrong.

TBH though with Parker still at the club and probably on a decent wage I think we will need to get rid of him before we can do too much in the forward transfer market.

Anyone would have thought Big Joe had dropped Ron Futcher (for getting sent off in the reserves) and brought in Ian Ormondroyd on loan just as we're making the final push on promotion to the top flight...

RobOAFC Posted March 15, 2010 Share Posted March 15, 2010 I really hope Lewis Guy gets injured tomorrow, to stop getting stick off all of you, majority of you aint seen him play more than a few games against us. 1 in 8, so what? he might bag one a game for us, maybe 1 in 2, who knows? any striker you get is a risk, and criticising him before he plays is a f*ckin joke! tell you what, lets not put him in the squad and play parker upfront instead! grow up!
