Woolford

Quoted from Hagrid

Very impressed, fair play to slade, bringing him in i think he's been excellent so far. My MOM today, kelly in the 10 mins he was on showed exactly why woolford was brought in

Quoted from sonofmadeleymariner

I just wish he would stop telling him and Dembele to keep switching sides both become very ineffective when they switch. Kelly was awful when he came on do you recon we can trade him back to Vale and get Gunning back?

Quoted from Roast Em Bobby

Agree about Woolford. Not convinced Sirki should be a definite starter, I know he produces moments of brilliance but more often than not there is no end product - if we had a decent replacement it would be nice to have him as an impact sub

Quoted from Tommy

Yeah as exciting a talent as Dembele clearly is, there's a lot of progress for him to make. Luckily for him, he's in a pro club's first team getting games/experience at age 20.

Since from his perfect run and assist for Jones on the opening day, there's been very little end product to all his fancy footwork. It just comes down to poor decision-making in the final third generally. There's been plenty of times where he runs diagonally from the right touchline, ending up just inside the box, but he's reluctant to take shots on with his left foot so ends up losing the opportunity. At other times (once I saw on highlights from Accy Stanley and again today) he takes a touch to set for a shot when shooting first time is either s better option or all he's really got time for.

This is just where he can (and needs to) develop his game, I'm not criticising him or having a pop at him. The lad's 20 and playing his first few professional games, decision making will come with exoerience and with Slade/Wilko working with him at Cheapside day in day out. He's doing great for his first couple of months. The above, some would say harsh, critique is just what scouts from bigger clubs will probably be noting for the time being IMO.

Quoted from RichMariner

Surprised Woolford isn't getting it in the neck for being both an ex-Scunt and a Yorkie!

Quoted from HertsGTFC

I think that's fair Tommy, I also like his attitude though as when he/we lose possession he will try and win it back which might indicate that he has the attitude to "stay back" after a session and work on his game. I would still stick with him as a starter for a while yet and surely there is enough experience in this squad and staff to help him develop. I think a goal would help him to be honest as it might just stop him trying to over complicate things.

Quoted from sam gy

Luckily there are no 12 year olds on the fishy.

Quoted from KingstonMariner

Based on the little I've seen of Dembele - only been to two games, plus the odd highlights - but I agree with you both on him. He's very talented, great feet and great balance. A real natural talent. Really exciting to watch a player like that. There was an incident at Accy when he made a chance for himself running in from the right in the second half, then tried to get the ball in a perfect position to shoot when an immediate shot may have paid dividends. I think he might just need to trust his own instincts.
