Had decent reports on him from a County watcher - maybe we can attract some fans from Stockport if we play Hogan, Angol, Maynard, Kitching,Rooney and Reid in the same 11 ? Wonder why he's not catching for Solihull though? Plus how long is Fondop out for as he'd been doing OK and scoring - seemed to be comparing sore feet with Burgess in the gym yesterday!

He will only score goals if he plays in a two, was prolific when he played alongside Bennett, plenty of pace and can finish. Wears gloves btw lol.

Londonboy Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 It's a step in the right direction I think towards our survival in the NL and a Trophy cup run . We certainly need goals from somewhere at the moment. May be Ok with him and Timmy. At least we will have some pace.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oafc1955 Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 Horses for courses and he definitely fits the bill. Will be a hell of a lot cheaper than Matt Smith and a fair few years younger too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oafc1955 Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 We’re building a decent team here….really happy with the recruitment. I think we are definitely going to be going for it next season!

Are you trying to create an ex-County XI?! It's my time to shine! Another one that has divided the County fanbase, started brightly then rapidly faded, and could be hit or miss for you. When he first joined he was electric for half a season (20/21) averaging better than 1 in 2. He's got pace and knack for popping up in the right spot in the box. BUT that was very much reliant on a big man (Richie Bennett) doing his dirty work. He occupied the CBs letting Reid play off the shoulder or feed off flick ons. It was a very good partnership. However, our DoF in his infinite wisdom sacked club legend Gannon when we were 4th and his replacement (Rusk) in his infinite wisdom broke up the partnership (and later shipped Bennett out on loan to our PO rival, Hartlepool, where he scored 5 in 4 games to cement their PO spot before returning to us and missing a sitter in our PO semi final that we lost to them - but that's a different story!). Rusk tried Reid as the middle of a front 3 or off the left and it just didn't work. He doesn't press and he can't hold up the ball. Despite his size (he's not 6ft 4 btw! County fans still laugh about that being on WIki!) he's not that good in the air and lightweight. The goals dried up - though he still just about finished our top scorer in the league and he was out of favour by the time Rusk was sacked. Challinor gave him a couple of gos but he plays a high press, high tempo style so it never going to work. He looked terrible and disinterested too. We then tried to get rid but couldn't as he's another that was on big wages for us after a renewed contract mid-purple patch. Rumours (hinted at by the manager too) are that he turned down local loan moves (Alty etc.) however preferring to enjoy a cushy life and paypacket which didn't go down with County fans. We finally got him off the books with a loan move to Solihull this season and then you'll know about as much as me. Started very brightly then has faded. Overall, you could do a lot worse at that level. He's got some good attributes - pace and good movement. But I'm not sure he's the man you want in a relegation dogfight unless you've got a bigman he can play off. He's not stuck around at any club for long... You never know - you could catch one of his purple patches though (he does seem to start well at new clubs)! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Sinnott Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 Hopefully will do well. Did a bit of digging on him on Sunday. Apparently most of his goals this season have come from the bench. He's made 11 starts for Solihull and scored in two of those matches - hattrick against Altrincham and a goal the other week against Eastleigh (I think). Has to be an upgrade on Fondop, Abraham and Hope but a very bold move to give him a 2 and a half year deal... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wxmred Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 Had a loan spell with us a few seasons ago, started well but soon stopped scoring, that was during our streak of destroying every striker we got our hands on though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
