LightDN123 Posted June 7, 2022 Share Posted June 7, 2022 Adams has a good cross on him, dangerous from set plays and I think he could play CM for us. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think a lot did. But our only hope of scoring was from him crossing the ball. From either out wide or dead balls. I think Porter, Fondop and Hope have a better chance of scoring from a cross than any other passage of play. On that alone id keep him. He can also play right wing, right back, centre mid and left wing if needed. Edited June 7, 2022 by LightDN123 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope didn’t score many last season, porter may get 10if we are lucky, same fondop. We need a bit of pace up there, the classic small man to feed off them. Can’t see us having 4 strikers. .

Bobledgersheart Posted June 7, 2022 Share Posted June 7, 2022 He needs a good pre-season as he was plagued by injury last season, hopefully it's just the strain of growing. He'd certainly "filled out" a bit during the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow that's some assessment, young lad has all the attributes just starting out in the game, scored in the football league already, improved every time I've seen him and you think he won't be a footballer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can’t really disagree with that … Of course he will the lad is still developing physically, he visibly filled out after his spell on the sidelines last season and came back stronger so on that basis I think I'm prepared to give him the benefit of the doubt, he can make a career for himself BUT with all young players it depends how he applies himself, I reckon there would be one or two clubs looking at him already and in my opinion if he fulfills his potential he could get a real nice move. Let's face it he wouldn't be the first young player written off on here to go on and have a decent career up the pyramid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

League one forever Posted June 7, 2022 Share Posted June 7, 2022 16 hours ago, Flemboy said: But where is the money coming from especially when many wont buy a ST. Id love us to sign 6 more players . Quite. Which is why expectations need to be tempered. I can see us signing a couple first teamers and then just loans. It will be the same as last year- threadbare. Relying on the same 3 or 4 to pull us out of the shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he could be a good player, he’s just always injured. If he has a season like last year, always injured, he will slip down. Not written him off at all.

By common agreement our strike force was dire to non-existent but there were five sides that scored fewer than we managed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
