How about Jimmy Spencer?

[Quintrell Green]

I agree Jimmy Spencer was a willing, wholehearted player for Argyle last season, but 3 goals in 25 appearances when the club was largely dominating Division Two? Surely DA can find a player who can fill that upfront target role, who has some more scoring potential.

Some people on here!! It’s not April 1st. What about Jimmy Spencer (HAHAHAHAHHAAHA)

 

[Carl Barnard]

This is typical Argyle signing ex players that didn’t set the world alight. It’s a no from me. We need to improve not go backwards again.

 

[oldage]

Agreed,why this obsession with ex players? Wylde is a prime example of why we should look elsewhere.

And yet we got promoted with 86 points with this fella playing half a season up front on his own.

He's a clever footballer, makes it stick, is likely to be cheap and is a good fit with DA's tactics. We'd have been a fair bit further up the table if he'd played this season in Taylor's absence.

 

[ming the merciless]

Good shout.i don't think we ever saw the best of him. I thought he was a great player.

 

[Ade the green]

We can’t keep saying “beggars can’t be choosers” if we turn our noses up about a player that fits the formation we play whilst recruiting players that don’t. He’s more mobile than Taylor and a little slighter in build so not the exact match as a Stockley would be but if we can get him i’d like to see him back.

 

[Tugboat]

We released him. Why would we go back for him?

 

[Dan Ellard]

Mistakes happen. Bet Ross County are kicking themselves that they let Carey go for nothing right now.

 

[PlymOdi]

Would rather move forwards than backwards or at best sideways.

 

[Steve Evans]

we should never had let him go.a very good player.

 

[Jannerbear]

Much as I liked Spencer, we need to bring in somebody who will provide genuine competition to Taylor - not another mediocre replacement in case RT gets injured again.
There must be some out of favour Championship forwards who we could get on loan.

Agree with most of your points but more mobile than Taylor? He had one of the most lazy looking styles of play I've seen. I liked him, thought he played the role well and was disappointed when he left but the difference in mobility and agility between the two was huge.

Anyhow would he come back? I thought he went back up that way to be closer to family etc?

Any striker that plays under DA in the current formation is never going to be prolific.

Exactly, our striking options last season were Spencer and Taylor predominantly. You could count their combined goals on your fingers, yet we were fourth highest scorers in the division as a TEAM. Sonny Bradley scored more goals than Spencer but I'd still rather Jimmy played up front, his positioning, ability to trap long balls and to survive completely on his own is impressive and ultimately what is required of a DA striker.

Spencer is better than the back up options we've had this season, so we have to admit we've gone backwards by letting him go.

I watch Bromley FC alot and of course all visiting National League teams. Wouldn't surprise me if, like a few L1 and L2 teams in last couple of seasons, we pick up a player from this division. Good scouts will find gems here.
