I'm happy to judge with my own eyes though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aa_bcfc Posted August 17, 2017 Report Share Posted August 17, 2017 Another promising forward youngster to go with O'dowda, Brownhill, Patterson, hinds, Engvall, Eliasson. Đurić always injured. Diedhiou, Taylor not proven at this level. Reid fingers crossed. If we are intending bringing in another striker IMHO we need to be investing in one who would be a first choice with with perhaps a decent record at this level. Expensive I know but how many more hopeful signings do we need? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richwwtk Posted August 17, 2017 Report Share Posted August 17, 2017 This is a fairly interesting article, details how his progress at Fulham has stalled but also shows how things like his goals per game his improved with age... https://cottagersconfidential.sbnation.com/2017/7/27/16018336/lvc-is-gone-what-about-cauley-woodrow I certainly wouldn't write him off and , based on minutes played, his scoring rate now is almost 1 in 2, which is more than respectable. P.S. Twitter doesn't seem that damning of him to me, more indifferent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only 22. 95% of his appearances for Fulham would've been off the bench. Decent goal return in a Burton side that don't create many chances a game. Every time ive seen him play ive been really impressed by him. England u21 international with a good goal return. Good in the air and quick for someone his height. We could do much, much worse. We aren't exactly going to go out and sign someone from the prem for £10m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red as fcuk Posted August 17, 2017 Report Share Posted August 17, 2017 I should also add, it seems Burton fans seem to like him and in fairness, they've seen more of him than anyone else recently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tipps69 Posted August 17, 2017 Report Share Posted August 17, 2017 I'd be a big fan of this signing, he's been involved with the England U21's for a few years & clearly has something about him. My thought as to why Fulham are willing to get rid of him is that it always seems to be harder to break into your first clubs first team, it's not unusual for a talented player to not make the grade at his first club but to go elsewhere & come good. He must have something about him to of been involved at England U21 level for a few years & in my opinion, it would be well worth signing him.

I'm not overwhelmed or underwhelmed. Isn't it strange that at one stage the word whelmed must've existed and was later prefixed with under and over and now they exist but the original whelmed is long dead. I suppose whelmed must've meant meh. So those who wish meh to go out of existence start using overmeh and undermeh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

simon uk Posted August 17, 2017 Report Share Posted August 17, 2017 Good player, and i would be pleased if he signed. Begs the question though just how many players are we signing, though hopefully this might be the one who comes in and does very well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheshire_red Posted August 17, 2017 Report Share Posted August 17, 2017 Since his first spell at the club. They were well down the pyramid before then so never had a forum Ten years ago if you had told Burtonites they would be in their second season in the Championship they would have had you committed. Probably 3 years ago too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's one of those players who gets his toe to a ball and draw fouls as well as being a bit of a pest in closing down CBs. Willing runner, works hard, and will help us press from the front. Would be able to play several role types, on his own, alongside another etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check out Fulham comments on this guy. They are celebrating. Not what we need at all. And I don't think you've watched either in a live game. Woodrow is only 22, (younger than Vassell) and also has potential to improve. Woodrow far too young to be written off. He's got lots of experience at this level for his age. Far less of a gamble than Vassell would've been and I would have quite liked us to sign him. Some Luton fans said that, but others said he's not as good as Gray. Fan comments aren't that definitive.
