lil_miss_s Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 I think on the topic of Ben Davies, he worked best when Steve Davies was in the team. I remember the game v Millwall, the first half goals were them linking up before finding a man in space (Bryson and Hendrick I believe). The third goal was a superb move culminating in a good Steve Davies finish (and was one of the top five goals of 2011, if you can still find the video). I think if Ben is to be brought back in, so does Steve. On the topic of Marc Pugh, I was excited when I heard this rumour in Jan. A creative midfielder who can play across the middle, and up front? Bring him in Clough! Put him on the right, our creativity is too lopsided atm, defenders go after Ward because that's where the threat is. That's a very good point. Ben Davies and Steve Davies did work well together. A lot of people said Steve Davies was lazy but he was in the right place at the right time on a lot of occasions resulting in goals. At the moment we need goals so maybe it's worth changing things around a bit. I Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
p.shilton Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 I still maintain that early in the season when we were scoring regularly that if we had actually had a striker we would have scored even more goals as we were creating so many chances. Davies scored a few but could have had many many more and provided an even better platform for the rest of the season if he was an actual CF. Now we are struggling for goals and I don't think that Davies is the answer, Tyson looks hopeless and Ball is proving not to be ready for the CF position. This leaves Theo- I love the guy but I don't think we can rely on him for goals, but he definitely adds something (comedy?). I think we need to give Maguire another chance to prove what he can do. More creativity is needed so someone like Pugh (back on topic!) would be great, you can't expect the strikers to make the chances themselves all the time. A striker remains a priority but there is no point having a striker if there is no-one creating the chances for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shake n Bake Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 Steve Davies is a good player but he's not an out and out goalscorer. Goalscoreds tend to have either: Great pace and finishing or great strength and heading (maybe height too) or a ridiculous amount of ability. Davies has ok pace and decent finishing, hardly any strength but he can head a ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaspode Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 ..........Davies has ok pace and decent finishing, hardly any strength but he can head a ball. I'm not sure that he can head a ball since his injury - you would imagine something like that has got to knock his confidence.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Davies ratio of 1 in 2 as a centre forward points to me he is a goalscorer, didn't someone post a while back something like a 1 goal every 1.87*? games when played upfront? not bad at all, I'd play him.

I dont know how people dont think he is a goalscorer, he always seems a threat but then just breaks down again. I think we may release him when his contract is up.

I think we may release him when his contract is up. I hope not, but I also think the same... His injuries are confusing from a fans point of view something different every time but so regularly, this injury like a few others has been a fluke, a compact injury which has gone bad... like when he broke his eye socket. Seems unbelievably unlucky! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leicester Ram Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 well, you can all shutup because iv'e had more experience with him then any of you.

saltyDCFC Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 My mate is a Sheff Utd fan and i went to watch them against Bournemouth. Marc Pugh is awful and would not take a risk on him, on the other hand Addison played well and should come back with Barker out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mightyrams93 Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Marc Pugh is good in a lower league, playing against half decent opposition in league one and he is mediocre at best, definitely not worth a risk! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boycie Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 There are enough examples to shoot down your assessment of a lower league player making the step up to the championship to warrant me not having to make any comment on the subject. So please ignore this post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-JW- Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 We seem to have got the worng end of the stick. Nigel was in a meeting with his chief scout, but cut the meeting short when he said i need a poo. The scout misheard him and though he was talking about Marc Pugh. Trust me, its not going to happen.

ChorleyRam Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 My mate went to the Bournemouth v Preston game today. He said there was quite a few scouts there from various clubs and 1 of them was Martin Taylor from Derby County. So looks like we're interested unless he's just keeping a tab on Addison.
