Quoted from Mappers
I have got to say so far I do find the Pyke signing a strange one ,not that  I see him as a bad player but to me he seems a player that is better with the ball in front of him rather than a back to goal striker .

He played 2 seasons as a right back/right wing back in league 1 and seemingly did really well .

You can only assume he signed with the promise of playing as a striker , maybe Hurst thinks he can mould him into the new Shop or something .


He has all the attributes of a player that should be tough to play against, he's obviously a pretty good footballer as he's played a lot of games in the division above and Shrews fans said he was a good player. Hurst has obviously brought him in as a bit of a gamble hoping he hit the ground running. Something you can't train is that nack of scoring goals and being in the right place at the right time. Podge had it to a T, he wasn't fast, wasn't tall, wasn't strong but he knew where to be and when. Saying that, if you told me after 10 games that Liam Hearn would go on to be one of the best strikers we'd had in the past 20 years i'd of told you to urine off.

I'm not sure about that, you could tell Liam was a proper player and once he scored, he'd explode.


I've wasted my life in black and white, a pathetic act for a worthless cause

Quoted from HerveJosse


Such a complicated game! Get bodies in the opposition box and shoot. I think I worked that out in 1971 when we had a squad of 14 , had a manager a coach and a physio and that was the total back room staff ,nobody had heard of sports science, data analysis or expected goals and the players had a ciggie at half time (or in Matt Tees case got his pipe out). Where did it all go wrong.!


The past is a different country, they do things differently there. I think that was part of our previous owners issue and look where that got us. It can be understandable to hark back to the past when we were young but time moves on, for better or worse and that perspective is partly driven by our age.

While watching some performances has been hugely frustrating I’m not yet ready to discount some of the best moments I’ve had over the past two seasons in fifty plus years of following the team. I don’t think all is yet lost and the return of some of our more attacking players may yet change the dynamic of our performances and in summary I think we are better placed now than compared to last season.

We've just given 18 year old Gardner a 3-year contract, so were certainly moving in the right direction.


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