11 goals in 90 appearances for a striker...


That's about 3x more prolific than the man he would replace, Matt Green.

I was missing the obligatory bash Matt Green post  


Miss Scunthorpe. Not a beauty pageant, just sound advice.

Easy to say 11 in 90 "Appearances" but those are not necessarily starts. How many of those 90 apps were 2 minutes cameos as a sub? As he is a young player probably quite a few I'd say. In theory those 90 apps could equate to just 90 mins on the pitch if he was brought on with 1 min to go each time. How many chances did he need to get those 9 goals? What else does he bring to the team?

"11 goals in 90 appearances for a striker..." tells you intercourse all about him as a player and how good he is.

He will also be playing in a decent team against poorer opposition, we hope.😀

11 in 90 tells you nothing when most last year were as a sub.

Remember Padraig Amond when we signed him?

2010–2012     Paços de Ferreira     17     (0)
2011–2012     → Accrington Stanley (loan)     42     (7)
2012–2013     Accrington Stanley     36     (9)
2013–2015     Morecambe     82     (19)

35 goals in 177 games. Hardly standout. He turned out alright.

Last year we had too many players coming to the end of their careers. Perhaps we're now looking at players at the start of theirs with something to prove?

And you don't know if he's been played as a winger.

Fundamentally, if he was scoring 20 goals a season in league 2 he'd be going up a division not down one.

If he has signed then don't knock him till he's played a few games for us.


You can please some of the forumites some of the time but not all the forumites all of the time

Yes but we also knew Podge coming in had been played as a winger for Morecombe not as a striker one of the main reasons we were able to sign him as Hurst had promised to play him in his desired position


I don't mind Roy Keane making £60,000 a week. I was making the same when I was playing. The only difference was I was printing my own - Mickey Thomas

The area you are trying to protect at corners is the goal - Chris Kamara

I once said Gazza's IQ was less than his shirt number and he asked me: What's an IQ? - George Best

I don't think Scunthorpe have played McAtee in his favoured position either, according to a mate of mine who supports them.
