djchapsticks Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Ah, sorry. How many strikers have you got now? Caldwell, Thompson and Marwood. Easily scope for another, especially a large fellow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coventry Saint Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 As I've said on B&WA, I'd sign him up. Not the most mobile, but holds the ball up well. was looking to bring others into play, and he clearly knew where the goal was. If we sign him, he'll score at least ten next season*. Feel free to bookmark this. * And 'knowledgeable' supporters will slate him for not running around like a daft c**t. That will definitely also happen.

Mark Yardley was big and not very mobile he scored a shit load of goals for us. We are shaping up very nicely also like the sound of the 6'4 centre back who might becoming on loan from Bolton , fingers crossed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He needs to get himself fit first and foremost before we think about a contract. To let himself go as much as he has between being released by Derby and now is pretty unprofessional IMO. Even without a club he should have gave himself a preseason, he was like a taller Mark Yardley! (Not that that's such a bad thing). I'd happily play him tonight, give him a hard week next week and then play him against Carlisle. If he shows enough and his attitude is right he would certainly be worth a 1 year contract as back up to Thompson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Cian Bolger apparently joining on loan today. 6'4 centre half from Bolton. http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cian_Bolger Dunno if that's definite - it's bloody lovestreet that says he's joining after all. Another relatively inexperienced player - although more than Plummer, Naismith and Kelly - but a big guy, which is what we need at the back. If we sign him and Ball, assuming he's fit enough, I'd be a bit more confident about our chances for the coming season. And if we add a midfielder as well...

Dee Man Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 If you look back two pages on this thread you'll see that He played as a trialist on Saturday and scored. He's 6'3 and a big lad in more ways than one, he hasn't done any preseason whatsoever. Tommy says he will have another look at him tonight.

Can't have him thinking he can just stroll into a contract. It really is hard to see us getting as many games out of Thommo this year, mind. I tell you what, though, if he signs, we'll have FOUR strikers at the club, plus Reilly. It'd be like we were playing with a complete squad (assuming a CH comes in too). Madness.

Stu Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Maybe Reilly is seen as a potential replacement for McGowan. Lennon used him as an attacking midfielder a few times - don't think it worked mind you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sergie's no1 fan Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Maybe Reilly is seen as a potential replacement for McGowan. Lennon used him as an attacking midfielder a few times - don't think it worked mind you! Reilly looked like a decent prospect before he was clamped on the ankle by some Dundee diddy, then Hutchinson finished the job a week or 2 later. He has never recovered from the ankle injury. He had good touch and vision from what I saw, which wasn't much. The fact he hardly featured at all last season even though we had a striker crisis and this season we have signed a ex Hibee who is roughly the same age and is above him in the pecking order, would make you assume his days at the club are numbered.

Stu Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Goodwin starting tonight Either it's 4-3-3 or Reilly is indeed being tried in midfield. McAusland out for six weeks apparently - explains the need for another defender! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stu Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Tam Reilly scores a worldly haha. Sod's law that would happen! Seems it is a front three. The standard of opposition in these games is not very good, I'm guessing we're using them to see if Ball is fit and can link up with our players rather than anything else. Still, two in two is good - can't ask him to do much more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
