upinsideyouhead Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 New here but having watched this lad play I don't think he is any where near good enough to be our main striker. I reckon Clough should get rid in January and get someone in who knows where the onion bag is.. Checked his record, one half decent season in the Scottish pub league and that is it. I'm beginning to see why, slow, poor ball control and looks hopelessly unfit. How the hell he keeps Tyson out is beyond comprehension. Still when Wardy is fit hopefully we won't see him again.

Stedcfc Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 He had a bad game today but he's generally been pretty good since he came in. Desperately needs a goal for some confidence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShaunTheRam Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 Give him chance - our general play is better having somebody to hold the ball up. He would have had a great assist today if Theo had finished. He is plenty good enough at this level. There - I managed to write a reply without annihilating that ridiculous post... doh!

DcFc Dyycheee Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 Meh, done nothing to excite me as yet, but he's better than what we had so it's an improvement. + Holds the ball well (Sometimes) and brings others into play. Which we haven't really had in a good few years. Need a proper goal scorer though, because he's not it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quarter way through the season and 1 goal. Might get 4 at this rate if we're lucky. Oh and thankks for the welcome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EastKentRam Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 Never worth what we paid for him. Physical, but cant trap a bag of cement, like our other strikers, is always gunna hold us back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hucknall Ram Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 IMO he looks a far better player upfront with Ward Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCFCfranco Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 Sammon wasn't bought for goals. Fairly obvious if he was he wouldve scored more. He was signed for flick ons and hold up play etc. Hes been OK so far. Not look 1 million+ striker. But i think he'll improve as will the whole squad.

Oh and thankks for the welcome Just remind me what Tyson's goal record is - you slag Sammon off for goalscoring but wonder how he keeps Tyson out? Sorry about the welcome, but I thought that was ridiculous!!! However, I thought Tyson changed the game today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hucknall Ram Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 It's ten games, a certain Steve Howard took 7 games to score his 1st goal and only 2 in 9 before his good run. Keep the faith. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gfs1ram Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 Success/OK so far but today he had a poor game. I agree he seems to link better with Ward. Alternatively if we can get Jacobs into the side then he will provide him with better crosses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Tibbs Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 I don't think he's half as bad some some fans make out. People say he can't hit a barn door etc, I'd probably agree if he was missing chance after chance but he hasn't had a sniff today. Nor did he against BHA as the supply to him is absolutely pants at the minute. He plays the majority of his game facing away from the opposition's goal and he's the best striker we have for that. His touch, passing etc might be wayward sometimes but he's still much better than we have got. I'm not going to get too critical when we simply aren't creating anything for him.

-JW- Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 To be fair your post is borderline stupidity. Borderline?? It was a ridiculous post, no way will Sammon score 4 this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shake n Bake Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 To be fair Sammon hasnt scored enough has he? I hope he proves me wrong but so far he hasn't been great. How many goals does he have to score to be £1.2million worth? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rsmini Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 He hasn't scored enough at all. He had a bad game today, problem seemed to be his first touch, the ball kept bouncing away from him. Maybe Clough should have swapped him for Tyson a bit earlier. As Tyson looked well up for the fight and did well I thought.

Jourdan Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 It's too soon to say whether Sammon has been a success or not. But so far, I've been very much underwhelmed. It is easy to say well Sammon wasn't introduced to score goals but to advance our general play. In the games I have seen, he hasn't added much in that respect either. From first look, you think 'ooh, he's a big lad, he should be a handful'. But I don't think it's enough to just have the physical attributes alone. There are going to be defenders in this division who are just as big and just as strong if not more so. You have to have the intelligence and technique to utilise those attributes and I think that is probably where Sammon is lacking. I just hope that maybe he is still finding his feet and we'll see the best of him in the games to come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blackNwhites Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 Sammons best attribute, as has been said, is receiving the long balls. He pretty much wins every one of them, but there's never anybody around him to knock it down to. He can't be held totally responsible. He has a terrible first touch with his feet though, it bounces 3-5 yards away from him so he needs alot of space which he isn't going to get.
