Striker Interest - Jerry Yates

If we were to look into L1 for a striker, and I'm not sure that is the answer, I'd prefer either Wyke at Sunderland, or Jephcott at Plymouth, who's shot accuracy is very good

 

I would imagine much bigger fish than us are already checking out Clarke-Harris and Wyke

 

It is strange with [ some ] strikers how they develop … suddenly as 18 - 23 year olds they come alive and set the world on fire.. have a good couple of years then fizzle out.... or as an older player suddenly it all comes together and on they are on fire for a year or so ..... and smoulder to an end.
change of club can mean change of ability … Nakhi not done well, Bobby not done well ….. etc

 

Sammie doing very well 10 goals?!
we got rid of Joe M and last night got almost a full 90 against probably Europes top team....

 

Shame we got rid of Szmodics !

 

I know it is league 1 but should they come up and he plays a blinder in the champs ..another bad decision to have GOT RID OF?
Wilbs doing well at SHREWS

 

A lot of our ex players do well...…
Only have to look at Luke Ayling, Josh Brownhill, Bobby Reid, Joe Bryan etc - all playing regular Premiership football and living the dream

 

Let me put it this way.

Pearson is the manager who signed Jamie Vardy for Leicester.

I will trust his judgement.

 

Do we know that it was him that signed him? And are you basing your judgement on one signing? And how many Jamie Vardy's are out there?

 

**** me I wasn't expecting the Spanish inquisition. it was an observation.

1. He was the manager and Mark Ashton wasn't there.
2. Hardly he left Leicester with the basis of a premiership winning squad (a proper 'decent' squad, not an imitation one).
3. Ummmm I will pass on that one, who the f*** knows.

 

It was a questionable observation based on....not a lot!!

 

An arrogant twat, is that a questionable observation ?

 

Are you an Ostrich?

 

The only thing questionable about transfer activity at BCFC is the previous 3/4 years, a policy that led us to sign for instance Lois Diony and offer in the region of 7 to 10 mil if the loan was successful, signed along with Ryan Kent to propel us from our then lofty position in the league into the prem.

Hopefully through recent words and deeds, it looks as though at least a third of our 'decent' squad will be on their way.

My point is I would rather trust the instincts of Pearson, than any combination of Ashton, LJ and Holden.

Happy days.

 

Hope you're right, we will of course see where it takes us.. I hope he sticks it out with him and SL & co staying on the same page........
Of course you're bound to go on one, blaming it on previous reigns, if it doesn't work out!!
I'm not yet totally sucked in to NP as you are, what he's done for previous clubs are irrelevant as far as our club is concerned . For me, the jury is still out and will see how things pan out before acknowledging whether he's doing a good job or not....So far, I can't knock the progress so far, I certainty think he's brought in some form of stability after the failure of Deano...
I do find his over detailed analysis of games to be a bit annoying, seems to want to show that he has everything under his control and we should believe every word he says...........maybe we should.........but maybe if we don't, we are all Ostriches!!!

 

The first highlighted sentence is just an invented lie. LJ bit by bit got rid of Cotterill's squad and then the squad became his and hopefully Pearson will do the same and have to stand by his decisions, that's life with no hiding place, if the players serially let the manager down and the manager gets sacked like LJ and Holden then that's sad but it happens, I suspect Pearson realises that a lot of this squad will inevitably make him the 3rd manager that they have seen off and is acting now.

The 2nd at least it shows experience in the area that we have historically been totally devoid in.

I agree he will be judged over lets say 4 years, that would be fair wouldn't you agree?, The difference is for once we have hope where there was none and hopefully clarity in our dysfunctional transfer policy, but what I would like to congratulate SL, Ashton, LJ and Holden on is especially under the current restrictions that they allowed so many contracts to run down, for me it will root out those who want to be here and those who do not.

 

Steady on 1for - 'what he's done for previous clubs are irrelevant as far as our club is concerned....' I don't agree with that. Past achievements don't guarantee success (Danny Wilson anyone?) but they can't be ignored either.
