Jack Stretton - joined Stockport permanently


Caerphilly Ram

Recommended Posts

Very talented striker who was severely hampered by injuries. I felt they slowed him down as well as stopping him playing regularly. If he can get and stay properly fit, he'll be an excellent player. When he was first on the scene banging in goals in the academy, I thought he had the potential to be a really big deal for us. His "ceiling" has always felt miles above Cybulski. Is anyone else knocking on the door?

Interesting we've sold him with Osula also going back to Sheffield.

Did we get a fee?

Dajuane Brown for under 18s, scored another two today v Stoke. An old-fashioned centre-forward, will suit Warne.

There's their actual record for us coming off the bench in league games.

Osula
Sub apps = 13
Sub mins = 199
Goals = 0
Assists = 0
Yellow cards = 0
Red cards = 1

Stretton
Sub apps = 8
Sub mins = 225
Goals = 1
Assists = 0
Yellow cards = 1
Red cards = 0

Also note, Stretton's appearances were all in the Championship in a struggling side, whereas Osula was in a L1 side pushing for promotion.
There's also Stretton's end product at every level:
U18s = 27 goal contributions in 39 games (1 per 104 mins)
U19s = 5 goal contributions in 6 games (1 per 92 mins)
U21/23s = 16 goal contributions in 25 games (1 per 110 mins)
Stockport = 3 goal contributions in 5 games (1 per 82 mins)
Carlisle= 5 goal contributions in 23 games (1 per 210 mins)
Derby = 2 goal contributions in 16 games (1 per 240 mins)

I seem to recall Stretton hitting the bar as well in one sub appearance. I made the point last week about Osula not being threatening enough, hoping he would improve. Now both are gone but hopefully we can get someone better.

Some interesting comments in the Derby Telegraph taken from Paul Simpson's latest press conference. Said he'd like to have signed Jack Stretton for Carlisle, could match (and better) the transfer fee but couldn't match the wages that Stockport were offering. 

Here's the article but it's in the usual almost unreadable style.
