New Loan Signing - Achille Campion

[werstayinup]

This is the tom pope who gets so easily bullied off the ball something a target man should be able to withstand

 

No its the Tom Pope who is constantly fouled,kicked and pulled all over the place with very little help from refs

[FATBOYSTEVE]

Excuse me?

 

How many times does he end up on the floor when in a physical tussle ya traditional target man the likes of shearer or andy carrol tend to put defenders on there ***** minus a few teeth

[Houston Valiant]

Campion has scored lots of goals in NAIA football over here. Not a great standard, but an occasional gem comes through. He's injury prone, and was out of action for long periods with , erm, Achilles problems. Played for Belhaven College in Jackson Miss., and led them to 2 National finals .

He's in the top twenty for all time college goalscorers . Has a tendency to be too flashy, but puts himself about. This is according to Belhaven's stats.

Would prefer a number 10, though it's obvious we aren't going to play that way any time soon or change the tactics from 4-4-hoof. Hopefully now we have slew and this fella, we'll see Williamson dropped.

 

Perhaps we might see Williamson shipped out?

[saintvaliant]

Worth a try I guess. Can't be any worse than some we've had.

[Jay606]

I completely agree. Pope is bullied off the ball every game.

[pensioner]

Two new strikers...are we about to sell one?

 

Sell ? Who could we expect money for other than Tom ? I suspect you meant "get rid of" but were being diplomatic

[Alfred]

I completely agree. Pope is bullied off the ball every game.

 

I think you mean fouled, kicked and generally assaulted !!

 

Tom is our best player at holding the ball up before laying it off to supporting team mates.

I wished we had tried to sign Sam clucas who's just gone chesterfield. Attacking midfielder who scores goals, something we are massively lacking from midfield.

 

They've paid a fee for him so that would rule us out straight away.

 

Chesterfield looked better than us Saturday without O'shea and now they've got clucas.

 

I think we've messed up signing brown and Jennings but lets see.

 

Like andyregs said, we don't pass and move and are not sharp at all. It's painfully obvious to everyone in the ground every week.

Can we play Lines and OConnor together ? They are both creative but not strong in tackling. You would never normally get to read this BUT is it like the England problem with Lampard and Gerard playing together ?? We need a Jennings or Brown in with Lines or OConnor to add a bit of bite.

We need one or both to get forward with a bit of sharpness and help out and get into the box not both strolling out the centre circle when pope is up front trying to hold a ball up that's smashed at his head from mcgivern or Duffy.

 

But I do agree maybe both aren't working in the middle. They'll both be on good wages so I think Adams as got to make it work kind of thing?

The problem with Lines,O'Connor,Brown and Jennings is pace and none of them have neither the pace or desire to get from box to box and Lofty is a big miss in this respect.

What are you on about... Lines has pace he just doesn't use it that often.

[For Us All]

What are you on about... Lines has pace he just doesn't use it that often.

 

Exactly,he's got no desire or the motivation to use it hence the stroller label.

Anyway, back to Achille - good luck to him, I wish him every success in a Vale shirt.
