Guest ionowl Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 With many people on here calling for a fast, young striker next season, I was wondering whether Modest could be given a chance? I would still sign another two strikers and let C.Morrison and Heffernan leave, but would keeping Modest be an idea? He's young, very fast, and he could learn from more from the other strikers in our team. Also, with the Palmer breaking into the team too, could there be much harm of maybe involving Modest next season? I'm not saying he should be a first-team regular, or that we should involve him a lot, but maybe given the chance in this league he could score a few goals.

trev Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 He hasnt scored or even played well for Darlo, unfortunately he just isnt good enough. Either release him or loan him out again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee A Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 Doesn't look like he's impressed at Darlington, Dont think he's going to be good enough or strong enough for our first team and what we want to achieve, probably time for the lad to move on and try and make something for himself elsewhere.

steve_maclean Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 My dad went to watch Southport against Darlo this weekend. Said Modest was garbage....ties in with reports from Darlo fans too! Shame because big things were expected but it seems he falls somewhat short of league standard. Adam Muller mk II Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DSC_UK Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 Needed to do more at Darlo and has failed like a lot of our young players when given loan moves. Needs to be let go and find his level. Can't remeber a single player we have loaned out do out since Danny Reet and god knows where he is now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Modest can't shine at that level then I fear thats it for him.. Funny how Southport have produced both Baker and Noone who have ended up at Coventry and Brighton though whilst the rest are utter tripe.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think if they go down to BSN Jon-Paul Kissock and Matty McNeil will leave but the rest are probably not even good enough for the BSP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lincowl Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 Sixth choice for non-league Darlington, they even question his pace: http://www.darlofc.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=11357 It could suddenly click for him though and he might make an impact for us like Jameson and ROD.

malek Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 Modest is a role player, and can be counted to do good job playing alongside prolific goalscorer. He is a workhorse that will chase anything played down the channel, and will get to a lot of those 50/50 balls first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arthur Bach Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 Will be the next Luke Boden. i.e. not good enough but allowed to rot with sporadic appearances on the bench. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is a workhorse that will chase anything played down the channel, and will get to a lot of those 50/50 balls first. Does he produce anything from getting on the end of these balls first, i.e. assists? As he doesn't really seem to be much of a threat in front of goal as I gather, at our level anyway.

Guest bigbadbreeze Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 He has always had a very poor goal scoring record infact it hard to understand how a forward with electric pace can have such a poor goal record, i would have thought they could have tried to covert him to a winger unless he cant cross the ball either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As he doesn't really seem to be much of a threat in front of goal as I gather, at our level anyway. I think that he can be used periodically under Megson, as he would fit into his style of football. Modest aint some spectacular crosser of the ball, or whatever, but he is a strong fella that can keep hold of the ball under pressure. I guess if played his role would have been to get first to balls down the channel and get hold of it under he gets bit of support, lay it off and race in front of the goal. He was used in similar role by McAuley, and did it very well, but at admitably awful level. Modest is not an out-and-out striker, but somehow who could perhaps do the "dirty" work alongside one given chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
