Ryan Hardie

[Knibbsworth]

True, Leeroy; great goal but also imagine what we would be saying if an opponent turned 4 of our defenders near the halfway line and scored like that in stoppage time. One of our defenders should have ‘taken one for the team’.

Their CB watches Hardie finish from thirty yards out sat on his backside, because he tried to take Hardie out the second he realised he was in a foot race he couldn't win.

Cracking goal really, they tried to encircle him, trap him, foul him, and he slithered through the lot like an eel.

Yep great goal that was.

What I've noticed about Hardie is that the ball just seems to stick to his feet. A valuable asset, especially with his turn of pace and finishing.

Glad he started last night!

I really haven't seen a striker like him at home park for years, he a so much speed and CONFIDENCE its superb!!!

 

[RKB]

I think we will just have to enjoy him while he is here for the rest of this season.
If he carries on like he has been Blackpool would be mad not to either hold onto him, or sell him for more than they paid for him, which is very likely to count us out.
I agree that he is the most natural finisher we have had at the club for some time.

 

[The Doctor]

What I love about Hardie is that his shots are pretty much ALWAYS on target.

 

[argyleforever]

And he rarely gets tackled, and has the confidence to go past several players. When hes got the ball you just know something special is going to happen

I think Luke Jephcott has some really good quality about him too. They are both full of intelligent running and seem to be natural, instinctive, goalscorers. It will be very interesting to see how their partnership develops - hopefully beyond the end of this season too.

Their understanding and interchange together was superb. Best partnership I have seen for a very long time - it lookes like they have clicked already.

We really need to sign him if we can. Those 2 up top could do a job a L1 level I am sure

Not our player of course

Blackpool have new manager this week - will that work for us or against us if we wanted to recruit him permanently?

It might work in our favour if he wants to bring in his own players and needs to raise some cash to do it.

Whether we could afford the asking price is another matter, especially because it's likely Lowe will also want to sign Cooper permanently and he won't come cheap by our standards.

 

[Ade the green]

i wonder how long it will be before we start seeing the benefits of the new facilities?

The two of them really looked the part last night. The best bit of interplay I thought was the lofted ball over the defender in the second half which Jephers walloped onto the crossbar. Beautiful stuff. But there were plenty of other examples too.

(Unlikely to be a popular opinion, but if we needed to, we could also play one or both of them off Taylor. For example, on pitches like Bradford's)

IF that volley had gone in we'd be talking about that goal for the next 30 years. Fine margins.

we need to buy him no matter how much players like him don't come along very often one of the best goal scorers i have seen for a very very long time and he can only get better.

I agree. I mean if he is for sale, can you come up with a couple hundred grand for him atleast?? I know hes worth more, and i know it was a long time ago that we sold Ladapo but is there not some of that money lying around ??
