70 apps at League One level, and 15 goals
20 apps at Championship level, and 4 goals

not exactly a great scoring record, works out at a goal every 4.7 games. Maybe he would have a better record at League Two level, and I suppose he is still young (23 yrs old), but personally I am not convinced.

A player has 90 appearances and 19 goals in leagues higher than us at just 23 years old and you’re ‘not convinced’?

19 goals in 55 starts in the championship and league one. Very highly rated as a youngster and played at Everton and Burnley as well as being capped fair few times across England age groups. Scored numerous goals at youth/reserve team levels and is still just 23....but fish company operative Steve, 46, isn’t convinced that he could be a good signing for league two Grimsby town. Wow

9 goals in 30 starts in League One last season? BOOOOOO.

Too many people are used to Football Manager and that ruthless rule you have with yourself. Must score one in two. Must have at least 15 for finishing regardless of other ratings.

Getting someone with his pedigree would be a massive advantage as you’d think he’d know what runs to make, where the space is and the technique to score goals at this level

I’m also hoping that our new “management team” I’ll call it are substantially better coaches than we had previously so the players will all improve as the season goes on. Added to that, hopefull, with our new policy of longer term contracts the players will develop over a period of time and for once we’ll reap the rewards.

It's amazing what you can get from a player when they drop down a league or two and get them playing their best football.

We often refer to Podge and also Connell as examples of when you shouldn't judge strikers on paper.

Luckily managers tend to watch players in addition to reading their stats. Clearly Hurst saw something in Podge, as did Woods in Connell.

As always, you have to trust the manager knows what he's doing. If he can get a hat-trick out of JJ Hooper then I'm sure he can get something from just about any player.
