Byron Moore (signed - confirmed)

[Devongreenowl]

Caolan Lavery showed a lot of promise when he was at Hillsborough and obviously on loan at HP, but his career seems to have reached a bit of a plateau. If there’s no mention of Ryan Lowe signing him, then he must have seen enough last season. He would have seen him as a youngster at Hillsborough all those years ago so would have known the potential he had. Shame really, but then he did end up at Bramall Lane so won’t be sorry if he does t come to HP!

Not too excited about this guy. Goals and assists stats nothing to shout about at any of his clubs. Really hoping that Lowe signs a striker who can replace Ladapo's goals. No evidence of anyone able to do that when I saw the friendly at Torquay this week. Shame he didn’t get Maynard in my opinion.

Ladapo might have scored 18 League goals last season but overall, the team scored less than they did in the previous season. You aren’t going to win enough games if you rely on one player to be the main goal scorer. The goal return from Sarcevic was woeful last season and Carey wasn’t much better. Mayor and Co. have to score a lot more this season if we are going to challenge for promotion.

Any goal is a good goal but some are more valuable than others. Ladapo scored 2 in a game on a number of occasions but he didn’t score the winner in close matches too often; he didn’t score too many against the top 6 sides either and there was constant debate about his overall value to the team compared to Taylor when we had our great run the season before.

In Sturrocks’ promotion season we scored a ton of goals but I think the top scorer only got 12 and that is what I would rather see this time. Share the goals around, with perhaps 5-6 players getting 8+ goals. If Telford or someone else gets 15+ great but we need more goals from midfield.

According to jerryactricjanner who was at the game today

Byron Moore was there on the pitch warming up before kick off but took no active part as I assume his transfer isn't quite done yet.

Looks like pafc_casual has it right again. It certainly looked like Byron Moore warming up before the game today though he took no active part in it.

[swendies]

So none of you confident in Lalos, he looks pretty darn good to me

 

[Welwyn Pilgrim]

Think we can forget about Ryan Taylor being a part of the managers plans. He just cannot stay fit so it seems

 

[Hargyle]

Unfortunately, I think you're right ... and I really liked Taylor when he stayed injury free :sigh:

If you mean the 2nd promotion Dave, wasn't it Cocko who was top scorer? I know he was in one of the Sturrock seasons.

Wottsy was also up amongst them but he was the No. 1 penalty taker.

Most strikers are judged on goals scored but I’m guessing he may be more of a foil to create for others. A Barry Hayles type forward. If he brings the ball into play for others then he’ll play a big part.

Will sign once his notice is up at Bury. Deal all agreed

Lowe has confirmed announcement of a signing Mondsy.

 

[pafccasual]

Definitely Moore tomorrow. We are still in the hunt for a striker and a centre back. Will update once I hear who. Obviously Ennis is one along with Clough.

Out of curiosity, don’t suppose you’ve heard about any outgoings? Squad starting to get bloated now, especially if two more come in.
