Ram-Alf Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 No, But if there was an opportunity to use him as a "kicker" ie USA football then keep hold, It'll never happen so a resounding NO! from me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimRam Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 He's a striker that does not score...so no would not be missed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyler Durden Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 He's a striker that must hold the Guinness World Record for number of 1 on 1's fluffed and allegedly a winger who can't beat a man cross a ball or has no end product. Apart from that yer let's keep him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
England Ram Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 No. Replacing him anyone who can take a corner replaces him. He offers nothing from open play at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Argument could be made that if any of the above were consistent then they wouldn’t be playing for us. Horgan did more against us for Wycombe in one game than we have seen in months from our wingers.

The only contributions he's made all season are the odd set piece delivery, and an early red card v Preston. That's it. If we can get a replacement then move him on, but when the loan players leave and those out of contract go, we barely have a squad left to choose. Waghorn was bad but to be fair he was playing in LW. I can't remember him playing there very often if ever. He used to be very good at Ipswich playing at RW or RM, and you have to say his struggles aren't for lack of trying and he does work hard for the team, but I think in the last few seasons he's lost a bit of pace and can no longer play in RW or RM. He's never been a prolific goal scorer, he's averaged about 1 goal every 4 games at every club he's been at, so I don't where he fits on the pitch anymore.

Be honest though, has he even been good in RW this season? I'm not sure what's happened to him as he was fairly good 2-3 seasons ago. Completely agree with you though, he just doesn't seem to have a natural position anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dean (hick) Saunders Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 I think we need better if we are thinking about promotion in next couple of years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't say he was good at RW this season, I said he was good at RW while at Ipswich. He's even worse in LW now. He's just lost the pace he had a few seasons ago (not that he was lightening) which made him more affective on the wing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaspode Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 His first touch is poor and he struggles to pass to anyone wearing the same colour shirt as him (though to be fair, he's pretty good at passing to folk wearing the oppositions shirt). He has put in some decent corners and his freekicks are normally fairly good, but other than that he's not contributing much to the overall team performance and in fact, his poor ball retention is so bad at present that he's putting us under uncessary pressure. To his credit, you can't fault his workrate and he never hides, but we can't have passengers if we're hoping to push up the table and (eventually) get promoted. We have to assume he's probably on a decent wedge so I'd move him on if we can (subject to the weird way we seem to manage contracts and the impact on FFP if we have to write off a big wad of money when he leaves)....

Uptherams Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 Great guy but he's not got much to offer us anymore. I expect him to leave in the summer and he will start scoring again. But can't see that happening here anymore. Needs a fresh start and one final contract somewhere else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think Waggy and Knight are paying the price for not having a regular position in the team , both have dropped a level in their performances , Knighty is so much better driving through the midfield supporting the strikers, instead of a holding role or right wing, Waggy for me at the moment is a sub , but i prefer him playing on the right of a front 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
