I think so far we have done ok considering our situation. This. I think it cripples you in terms of attracting the best we could afford. Fans have got to realise this reality. We are not as attractive a team to sign for than many at this level, at the moment and it shows in how tough it's been to sign forwards. But... the ones that do come here must want to help us out of this bad situation. They must have some sort of fighting spirit. Hopefully it will show on the pitch.

SiJ Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 (edited) 4 minutes ago, Groundhopping Owl said: Yeah that's a good way of looking at it, he's almost certainly an upgrade on Da Cruz. Honestly with our striking options I think it's a case of beggars can't be choosers. The likelihood of us getting a 20 goal a season man was slim even before -12. Fletch was our best bet, but he wanted too much. The fact is other parts of the team are going have to step up and contribute. Not including Fletcher, only Murphy really stepped up.

83owl Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 Bit of pace can run in behind and still decent in the air. Shows on the video how important Smith was for Huddersfield in that time, every other goal seemed to be a cross by him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0wl18 Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 Good solid signing. I can’t see how anyone can have complaints with the business we’ve done. Drastic reduction in outgoings, retained a good quality of player. Main issue being quantity! We either needed to keep a couple from last season or, sign additional players quicker. If it takes us until the end of the transfer window but we recruit another striker, A defensive minded midfielder and, a goalkeeper we’ve had a very good window. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IWEDFM Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 How can anyone critisise him? He's not even kicked a ball for us yet I'm quite happy with this signing, he's still only 28, comes on a free, has pace and scored 13 goals in the season Hudds got promoted Yes his scoring stats have not been great since then but Huddersfield struggled last season so will have something to do with it. They've also changed their manager about four times in the last 2 years so a constant change of tactics, systems won't have done him any favours either Let's get behind him and give him a chance 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's more than most players who've played for SWFC in recent times. To be fair people said the same about David Graham. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beholder Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 2 minutes ago, @owlstalk said: It's pure narcicissm I was listening to Five Live yesterday and there was an expert on discussing why people do things like that It's purely a narcissistic exercise to make themselves feel better by projecting an image that they know more than anyone else on the subject By putting themselves forward as an expert they get an intoxicating rush, and this gets addictive to the point where they'll post anything just to appear the expert again That was one reason. The other reason is that they're just scared of something and unhappy with their own lives Don't believe that crap its pseudoscience. I've seen lots of that nonsense of late. Trying to cast people who have differing opinions as having sociopathic tendencies. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMOwl72 Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 I’m certainly no expert that’s why sometimes you have to be led by the stats......16 goals in 126 games..........you can understand who some are a little deflated. But you never know S6 might be a good fit for the lad, even if his name sounds more like a Bond villain than a footballer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
striker Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 3 minutes ago, SiJ said: Get behind him. People having a meltdown before the bloke has even kicked a ball. And we wonder why some players go missing at S6? Agree, I think he's a decent free transfer signing. My only issue is we could have had him in sooner. He's a player who has been played out of position as a winger, had 2 years in EPL, always going to impact goalscoring when your team defends for 95% of the game. His first season at Huddersfield he scored 12 with 4 assists. Last year, in a very poor huddersfield side, again as a winger scored 3 with 5 assists in 36 games. He knows the league, a busy hard working team player, bit of pace and who knows, could be decent. Let's give him a chance. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe we can get 10-13 from kachunga, windass and another striker rather than trying to rely on one for 20+? We havnt had a 20+ striker for years anyway.

Well don't you think... don't you just think... that as result of that team being put together, that they might just have recommended a few players that we then investigated, contacted, negotiated with and signed? You know... Just a theory... They must have recommended him after young Att followed him then. He let the cat outta the bag 3 weeks ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
