Londonboy Posted July 1 Share Posted July 1 Don't know much about him apart from what I've just read....any first hand knowledge of him? Seems on the surface a bit underwhelming but hopefully this won't be the case.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wide player, two footed, has a burst of pace and plays with intensity and drive. Seems like a Colclough type of player to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that it’s much to go off. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BradKnowles1 Posted July 2 Share Posted July 2 Not seen much about him but got more assists than anyone in our team last year but received 11 yellow cards. Scored and hit the post at their place. We missed wingers last year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He does seem quite focused on players he has worked with before. Plusses and minuses to that; doesn't scream of a wide scouting network 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Nors and Monthe (if he signs) have both left league one to play for him. I’d like to think it’s because he knows what good looks like. .

GlossopLatic Posted July 2 Share Posted July 2 (edited) The chances are I wont know much about the majority of signings that we make so who knows in time they will prove there worth good or bad. Can anyone realistically say they have an indepth knowledge about players at this level to form a really strong opinion on the players we sign.

Just because he seems to have spent most of his career at Fylde, Barrow or out on loan.. Some decent feedback from those that have seen him against us, and you seem to know quite a bit about him so thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think from the teams we played last season I could name Ollie Banks (boo), Will Grigg (?) and Dominic Poleon. Not a clue after that...

Yes, he did take us apart, having said that we had no proper right back. He does seem to fit into my dynamic philosophy though so hoping for the best.

LaticsEddie Posted July 2 Share Posted July 2 Gets the ball in the box often and comfortable on either flank- 4 crosses per 90, slightly more from the right flank but split practically evenly. Takes his man on often- 5 times per 90 Sticks to the flanks- 2 touches per game in the box on average Looks to move the ball forward- 5 dribbles, 3 progressive runs 3 and 5.5 progressive passes per game. Gets a lot of yellows- 8 or more in his 5 seasons as a pro, 10 or more in 3 of those He looks like a pacey and powerful runner who is comfortable with either foot and likes to get stuck in. Varies his crosses too which will be a welcome change. Had a great relationship with Haughton last season so hopefully brings more out of Conlon. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
