28 a good age. His 46th goal of the season! Don’t care what level your playing at that’s ‘ phenomenal ‘ sign him up! 😅

I've seen a lot of Ollie Pearce when he played for Bognor. Bognor had the unstoppable Jason  Prior who scored bucket loads of goals at NL south level but when he signed for Wimbledon.He was marked too tightly and did nothing. Prior was much better than Pearce. 197 games 143 goals

If the passenger was absolutely knackered after 60 minutes of the journey then it was definitely Uche!

And he even misses trains not just sitters in front of goal !!

Debrah is a shocking 'footballer'. He throws it further than he kicks it.

He's about as useful as a 1 legged man in an arse kicking competition.

Well, he certainly needs to improve and the step from NL to L1 was too great. But I am hoping the outcome is that he learns from a good defender in Darren Moore and is an effective part of the squad in 2024/5. I quite like him as a person - speaking as a fan.

Most strikers last 60-70 mins. 

I remember going to Liverpool v PSG where Liverpool won 3-2 in injury time. Second half PSG started to play exceptional football and came from 2-0 down at HT. A problem was Mo Salah. He needed to come off because Liverpool needed legs and tackling to cope with the onslaught. Klopp left it too late, but eventually bought Milner on. Milner toughened the side up. But he also produced a superb bending cross when closed down and near the corner flag that was only cleared to Firmino on the edge of the box who scored. 

So what I am saying is that many forwards who sprint and close down from the front run out of steam. They have to come off then or a team is playing with 10 men. It doesn't matter if it's Uche or in this case Salah one of the to[ strikers in the PL. 

I think Uche will benefit from a pre season if still at PV. But with his strength and size, plus the effort he puts in, he will usually gas after an hour.

I get your point, but to use Uche in league 1 or 2 game against Salah in champions league game is no comparison. He certainly doesn't sprint or close down & will never be good enough fit or not, he is absolutely useless in front of goal regardless of fitness and the "header" and back pass of a shot v Wycombe showed that. I despair if he is with us next season as will many others.

Would be happy to have Uche as one of four strikers on the books. BUT if his wages are as mentioned can’t afford to have three strikers on that money. Baylee does not come into it as he will be on a low wage as just come through the ranks.

Shane Lavery would be a real top signing for us in L2. Just released from Blackpool.

I know most of you will get his Wikipedia up, see he's never scored 50 goals a season, then write him off instantly without any further thought.

But he would do well in L2 for a (hopefully) promotion chasing team I'm sure.

A likeable non scoring striker. Sounds right up our street.

Didn’t look at his wiki just read what fans of his latest club say.

I think it was mentioned on here earlier that Stockport fans said he wanted a 2yr deal but they only offered a 1yr

The same situation we had with Wozza, safe to say, if we’d have given him 2 yrs the likely hood would have been that we’d still be in L1. The only reason we’d have been relegated is that we’d got no one who could finish the chances he’d have created.

That's like saying, if I had played the euro millions on Friday the likely hood is I would have won. Shucks
