The Night-Owl Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 Seems to be a good fit. He clearly likes it here and wanted to rejoin. He seemed to have something about him at Accrington and Rangers, lost his way for whatever reasons at Wigan but hopefully he's found the right home now to fulfill that eye catching potential he showed at Accrington Stanley and Rangers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mcguigan Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 8 hours ago, theowlsman said: What about his season before that and the two after? 15 goals in three seasons. Whilst I believe we have a good player and there is more to come from Windass, he still has a lot to prove at this level. Let’s try keep some perspective on this. One decent season for Rangers in a league that’s a level below the Championship in all fairness, is typical YouTube compilation material but not an accurate reflection of his goal scoring prowess as a whole in his career. Working with Beattie and being played in the right position will benefit him massively this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dot think he's as quick, but he's got a good left foot on him too.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mancowl08 Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 That’s 5 goals in 12 appearances. But not just his goals, I’m loving his pace, and his creativity. He’s got that quick acceleration also from a standing start that allows him to drop a shoulder and dart past his marker. Great start, keep it going! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doctor Duran Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 Looking good this season - hopefully found his club and will flourish. One of the more senior pro's now in the squad which will help him. Looks a good astute signing - reminds me of a Peter Beardsley type player.

fpowl Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 How people turned their nose up on this signing is beyond me he’s a real live wire thought we played excellent yesterday and then windass came on and looked a cut above and stepped us up hes full of energy runs with power always looking to be positive and works his frolocks off really like him. Think he will smash 15 goals this year 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holmowl Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 Very impressive so far. Looks greedy. Harnessed carefully greed in a striker is a very good trait. Allowed to hog all the half-chances he will frustrate team-mates. I’m quickly becoming a convert. Did not see him as a striker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A E Neuman NYowl Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 He looks like he has a lot of the attributes that I like in a striker, movement, pace and power. Don't know what went wrong at Wigan but whatever it was could be his Achilles heal. Very good start keep it up Josh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wednesday_Jack Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 10 hours ago, areNOTwhatTHEYseem said: I thought he looked good last year, too. He looks a dangerous player. exactly this...didn’t he score 3 in 9 and assist a couple as well. No idea why fans where a little negative about him signing?? very effective player at this level. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatzooma Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 20 hours ago, Grandad said: Not sure what's happened but he's totally different to last year Is it Beattie? Or the permanent move? Looking like a case of who will partner him. Just watched his Rangers goals and there’s quite a few where he doesn’t think and goes for goal which buys into the Beattie coaching of shoot in site and take less touches.

FF would have had a shot from there instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldishowl Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 He plays aggressively. Gets stuck in, makes direct runs and shoots on sight and hard while having enough ability. We need him to stay healthy but think he will get some rough treatment from the opposition Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finney on the Wing Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 I was impressed with him too, last season, while he was here. Plenty of running in him and takes his chances really well. Reminds me of Paul Merson - if he's half as good as Merson was it'll be a very good purchase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think all the 3 players who came in on loan suffered badly because the squad we had at the time had given in. Even the good players like Bannan were way below their normal level. It wasn't that they were awful individually necessarily in every game but there was no 'team' about us we were just 11 players who looked like they had never met before they walked on to the pitch. Monk look like he'd tried his best but realised he had no hope of changing things as they stood so he was just trying to survive until the end of the season then try with some new blood in the team. This season so far we look like a team, probably the first time in 3 years apart from odd games. We've always been poor against teams at the bottom and played welll against the top sides. Now we look like we don't give a monkeys who they are we are going to play our game and find a way to win. It's very early days but yesterday there was an arrogance about us that I have only seen around top teams. Like we expect to win and we are going to do so by being stronger, faster and more clinical than the other team. I like what I'm seeing, I've no idea how long it will last. Saturday will be a good test, interesting to see if we win, more importantly how we win. I'm also interested in how we deal with our inevitable first defeat, will it 'burst our bubble' or will we just pick up ourselves up and go again. That's the hallmark of a great team. We still need a few more pieces to round out the squad. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree so far I like what I see especially last night by some the younger end, played with an ease and a bit of freedom. I just thought whilst Windass wasn't outstanding he was one of few bright spots last season even though for some reason still not convinced that he's a natural goal scorer but no arguing with goal scoring record for us. Interesting times. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really sure why he went from Rangers to Wigan of all places tbh. Thought he was quality at Rangers, I guess some clubs suit players differently. He was probably too big for them but he’ll be more at home with the MASSIVE. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weshallovercome Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 What I like most about Josh is that his enthusiasm gees everyone up, praying he can stay fit, because he's quickly becoming our most important player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
