Was taken off. To be honest he’s the only player who’s been disappointing the last 2 games. No threat at all. May be different against L1 defences but if he goes I hope we have 1 or 2 strikers lined up. Someone with real pace would add something different to our squad. Good game today. Most players did well and look sharp.
Agree, not impressed with Bradshaw at all today. Works hard, but still unconvinced he's going to get the goals some are suggesting he will. Think we could do with another striker even if he stays. Moore played well today, but once again missed a good chance.
Not sure everybody would but can see your point. Still think he needs to improve his finishing regardless of what league he's in. He scored plenty at Rotherham so not giving up hope.
He looked the same as he always has to me. I like him because he works hard, he did again today closing down the opposition, but I've seen relatively little quality from him in the two years he's been with us. Before Moore and McBurnie arrived, and he lost his place in the side, he was receiving criticism from all quarters, yet over the close season he's constantly been talked about as worth £2 million+ and one of the best strikers in the division. I don't think he's anywhere near either. He can get on the end of a good cross and put the ball in the back of the net, and he always works hard, but I've seen little else from him in the two years we've had him, so in games like today and Tuesday, when he doesn't get a clear chance or three to get a goal, you don't see much good play. Maybe the goals he scores means he is worth the £2 million+ that people talk about. I don't think he's prolific enough and converts enough of the chances he has to be spoken about in those kind of terms.
There was a kid in ponty with a sign saying "Tom Bradshaw can I have your shirt please." Bradshaw obliged. I wouldn't read anything into it.
I posted at half time how well he was playing and his partnership with Mowatt was the best 2 I have seen since Connor was here. I didn't expect him to be in today's squad, due to having only just signed. He must have done a Pre season, as his fitness was up to speed. Ken and Alex are the midfield partnership we've been looking for, who would have thought that?
I reckon Moncur just ahead of them, two wingers/forwards and Moore (if he can find his scoring boots) will be very good for L1.
Think we need to had more pace upfront especially down the middle. Probably be a premiership loan or maybe that kid from Pompey if we’re still interested.
This is why we shouldn't write anything off before a ball is kicked. New manager, everyone has a fresh start and just as at any level, feeling valued gives players the extra confidence to express themselves. Some people's assumptions that because some players struggled last season, they'll do the same again are either bonkers or wishful thinking.
