Not for me Clive. 28 years old and unproven/not good enough at Championship level

I don’t disagree but he scored more goals in a **** Peterborough side in the championship than any of our players did in a side that created loads of chances.

don’t think he’s right but he’d be nowhere near as bad as many make out

21 Championship goals in 98 games and will be 29 before the start of the season.
Doesn't inspire me with confidence, especially when you factor in that he takes their penalties

Yes but most of those games were before he turned 23 and he was clearly a late bloomer.

12 in 41 in Peterborough’s last championship season, when they were pants and didn’t create anything, and 26 and 31 in the two league one seasons either side. Can’t really argue with that.

I can argue that L1 is irrelevant when assessing his suitability for top end Championship

I get what you are saying - scored an average amount of goals in a poor team suggests he could score a reasonable amount in a good team

Ultimately I trust the club and it's recruitment. What will be, will be

Yeh sorry I meant you can’t argue with his scoring record, not you can’t argue with my point. Anybody can argue with any bodies point :D

I can't get away and will never get away from the fact we didn't re sign Broadhead. So many if you were against it citing injuries etc. I still maintain he was the ideal type for us and would have given us so many options.

Can't quite recall but I thought the rumour was that we did try to get him again but he didn't fancy it because he wasn't sure he'd get a game with Stewart and Simms ahead of him. So he went a level down where he was guaranteed games.

Whatever the case I think he's a good player and will do well for Ipswich in the championship. He's a natural goal scorer.

Fool <laugh>

Nailed on to fill his boots, pull up trees, lay land to waste... ffs man can't think of whatever else he's going to do to us next season...
 
I agree that the goal drought than I anticipated did not happen with Stewart out. We found other ways to score, spot on.

But having your cake and eating it, Steward would have given another attacking option, especially on the 'out' ball.
He would also have been useful in defence
For me I think we missed a striker more at home than away but looking forward it means we can attack indifferent ways and can on occasion cross a ball :emoticon-0102-bigsm
