He had the best goal scoring record in Scotland (better than hoopers) And playing for a much worse team. He came here full on confidence, looked good against Derby on his debut then went on to score a lovely goal against Middlesborough away and a great solo goal against Birmingham. We then, as a team stopped playing attacking football and we we're lucky if we created 1 chance a game. He was also dumped on the right wing some games. Also i think people forget he is a year younger than Lucas Joao, and he scored more goals in the league than him in his first season with us, in a far worse team with the same game time. Let that sink in. Obviously he got a terrible injury after a handful of games for Preston, and hes been out a year. Apparently he came back in a behind closed doors game last week and scored a hat trick. So good luck to him, I hope he comes back stronger and goes on to fulfill his potential. After all it would have been easy for him to sit in our reserves and pick a paycheck up, see Bus, Dielna, Mcgugan etc... At least he wanted to play every week and moved on. Always liked him. Good post and informative, and I enjoyed my inferior reflection being improved by yours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You do realise its OwlsTalk philosophy that once a player leaves for another team he's automatically utter useless and most probably "the worst (INSERT POSITION) I have ever seen in a Wednesday shirt". Don't necessarily have to leave for another team to earn those accolades You kinda hope players and staff avoid Owlstalk like the plague, otherwise many of 'em would be too scared to leave the house Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ethel The Tree Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 If true, it's ominous to learn of him scoring a hat-trick last week Don't need to remind anyone we play Preston home and away next month - I'd really REALLY hate to see him prove his critics wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately it seems it was one of those times when England and Scotland were wrong When you say buzz of interest do you mean there was a list of clubs interested in him or do you mean the sky interest the transfer got?

Good post mate, your opinion is different to mine but if he was so well thought of howcome he was about to sign for Rotherham? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HirstWhoScoredIt Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 No pace no strength cant head it no touch missed chances good movement worked hard might make an average Championship striker or it might be a level too high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
victorturner Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 He was thrust into a starting position as soon as he arrived, a very unwise decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shandypants Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 I hate slagging players off, particularly if they're hard workers but May was rhubarb. He was a yard too slow with his pace, half a second too slow with his reaction and his anticipation was non-existent. He had a couple of good games but largely added nothing. I can't blame him for signing for us though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
