First look at him Today. What did everyone think? Thought he got into some good positions at times. Didn't look as threatening after he went off as while he was on. Having said that he probably should have scored in the first half (to be fair their keeper did well to get out to him quickly).

I thought he looked pretty good. Too lightweight for a lone striking role though.

 

[Sutty]

Did alright. Some good touches. Looked alone in our attacking players in terms of actually being able to control a football.

Probably did enough to earn a contract.

 

[Nonleagueherewecome]

3 good lay-offs, nothing else really. Missed a good chance. Just doesn't look like a forward, more like a midfielder playing up front.

He was no more than just ok. A couple of nice touches, but no threat, and didnt look to be the answer as a lone striker. Pressley wants a squad of 24 which will probably mean 4 strikers - i didn't see enough from him to suggest he should occupy one of those 4 places.

You'd give him a contract?

 

[mark82]

Had the 2 guys behind me who had clearly written him off before he started calling him Philisfuck. Not even a clever play on words. So fucking irritating.

 

[mark82]

You'd give him a contract?

Yes, better than McDonald.

Completely agree. Would be interesting to see him up top with Clarke. Same could be said about Wilson.

 

[Sutty]

You'd give him a contract?

On reasonable wages, yes.

Decent debut i say! Put himself about. Needed someone up there with him

You won't see that because SP wants to play 451.

 

[ajsccfc]

He did ok. I think we've shown in the last few weeks that we've only got the one forward capable of playing that lone role though.

 

[stupot07]

On reasonable wages, yes.

It's not just about wages though, SP wants a squad of 24 (not 34). There are probably 4 striking berths - Clarke, Wilson and 2 more. I think there's only room for one novice striker in that 4.

Though Philliskirk has played as a number 10 and central midfielder for the U21s.

Versatility is an important trait with a small squad.

 

[SkyBlue_Bear83]

Thought he was pretty poor, thought the team performance was fairly good. Think we would have scored a couple of goals with a proper forward like Clarke

 

[motherfunky]

Yes, better than McDonald.

Are you serious???

 

[Steve.B50]

Did ok, but he would need a few games to see if he would ate the grade in my mind.

 

[Mucca Mad Boys]

Worthy of a one year deal to prove himself, that is all.

Looked ok, but seems to lack goalscoring instinct, he should've scored today.

 

[mark82]

Are you serious???

Yes, McDonald looked slow when he came on. Didn't look like scoring after the change. Will be on lower wages and is fitter. Not the complete player but has time on his hands.

 

[Sky Blue Sheepy]

I thought he did quite well for his first start. Some good movement and has potential to improve. As someone else has suggested, on yesterday's game alone I'd consider him over McDonald as he looked fitter and controlled the ball better imo
