Offside Posted January 11, 2016 Report Share Posted January 11, 2016 In the Football Matrix section of the i newspaper on Saturday a Reading fan commented that he'd like them to sign Bradshaw to replace Blackman. A Burnley fan also complained about Dyche sticking too rigidly to 442. Wonder how they'd feel about 532? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scores with both feet and his head, poaches, breaks the line, good age and gets better than one in two at the level below. Why would you say that?

Nibor Posted January 11, 2016 Report Share Posted January 11, 2016 3 hours ago, cynic said: Seen him for myself on several occasions. Similar stats to Baldock and Agard at that level both had more or less one in two stats and they are hardly prolific at this level. Is he better than them when they were at that level ? He's certainly not as quick and he does appear to have problems with injuries. There's been some cracking strikers come up from the lower leagues and made a real impact but there's also been those who have scored for fun in the lower divisions but not cut it at this level. I've just not seen anything in him that suggests to me that he could cut it at this level against the defenders he'd be up against. It'll be interesting to see who takes the plunge with him and how he does. I don't think there are many players at all who manage 1 in 2 in league one over a couple of years in their early 20s and fail at the next level up - I actually can't think of one. His record is better than Baldock's in league one (his best was about one in three) and Agard has only had one good season ever. For Bradshaw's movement (which is pretty much the defining quality of a goalscorer) is spot on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nibor Posted January 12, 2016 Report Share Posted January 12, 2016 25 minutes ago, cynic said: Baldock in league one for us scored 26 in 54 in 2013/14 which is hardly one in three. I was talking about prior to signing him - I think Baldock would have been plenty good enough at Championship level if he'd not made the move to sit on West Ham's bench too early. Even now he'd be a significant improvement on everyone at the club except Kodjia. I still can't think of a young forward who's managed one in two for a couple of years at league one and failed in the championship. The second season tends to be what indicates they're consistently better than that level. I suspect there will be few opportunities to do better than Bradshaw and am far from convinced about spending £2-3m on a kid with a handful of professional games to his name. Maybe he's amazing but I doubt anyone on here has seen enough to have a realistic opinion on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The injury was due to a big cut on his foot, nothing to do with his hamstring, that type of injury could happen to anyone. His record in league one is very similar to Maynard's who were were willing to spend over £2m on several years ago before prices got sillier.
