Van der MoodHoover Posted June 20, 2023 Share Posted June 20, 2023 Reading the Peterborough fans forum the consensus seems to be he's done well for them for several seasons after coming from non-league,but mid to lower league 1 is his peak. Some of the more frequent criticism... - fluffs most crosses, one in ten decent - inclined to go to pieces in big pressure games - gives away the odd daft pen.....

Seems pretty bang average Sam Smith the footballer, don’t know that he is “special”. He looks to be a solid enough league one striker who has hit double figures for goals (13 last year and 15 the year before) in a poor Cambridge side. 25 years old, available on a free, if we are interested in signing him perhaps it’s as a squad option as one of the striking department rather than as the main man.

Jourdan Posted June 20, 2023 Share Posted June 20, 2023 Two very shrewd signings with plenty of upside. Having Vickers will be valuable given we’ll be playing in four competitions again and we now know first-hand how a fixture pile up can take its toll. Wildsmith will be pushed and able to be rotated for a break, but also we’re covered if he gets injured too. Bringing in Ward again looks sound. A mainstay in a Peterborough side that is well known for being free scoring and attacking. His versatility and potential output gives us options all of a sudden and will lighten the load for NML. They aren’t signings that blow off the roof or grab any headlines by any means, but again I think we are moving towards a more balanced squad and a cohesive unit rather than a collection of headline grabbing individuals. I like what I see so far - the signings look considered, logical, very much low risk and high reward.

inter politics Posted June 20, 2023 Share Posted June 20, 2023 Not sure if it's already been stated somewhere but Nixon in reply to Elder to Derby rumour: 'think that's possible'.

Not that poor a Cambridge side if they can provide him 130+ shooting opportunities in a season though. 1 in 10 shots to goals ratio for 2 of his last 4 seasons is v poor, although his record in 2021/22 was almost twice as good as that which shows that MAYBE he can improve his clinicality, but I wouldn't bank on it and he loses over 62/63% of his aerial duels. As @Caerphilly Ram said he'd be an option for rotation / backup but then that's a hard sell to a striker in a system where were likely only playing with one up top. I'd be looking at who provided him with the opportunities more than the player himself - ie Harvey Knibbs as has been suggested Edited June 20, 2023 by Kokosnuss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's why strikers/wingers who score lots of goals but only do so because of the sheer volume of shots they take are such a bugbear of mine when people just quote the number of goal contributions as proof of their quality, Ince/Lawrence styleee.

Said we’ve “spoken to a few cbs so could be signing 2… but that may depend on other events…” when queried on what he meant by other events he replied “if somebody leaves”. So not specifically saying a cb leaving, could mean Knight or Bielik and then the funds raised being used to further strengthen/recruit….or he could be talking nonsense which is entirely possible.
