Yep, he was the fans' boo-boy at Scunny when they were at the bottom of League 2. And the early signs at Stockport are not good.

For us he was hardworking and honest but never really decisive or lethal. He is an old fashioned no.9 but he's slow in thought and deed, is easy to mark, is easy to foul and draw fouls from, and misses lots of chances. Even his heading is quite poor.

IMO the number of goals he scored was more down to playing for one of the best and most attacking teams in the division than anything else.

I very much doubt he will be quality in League 2. He'll be doing well of he's still in the starting 11 by Christmas.

When this board was going into full melodrama meltdown after he refused the contract, I stuck my neck out and pointed out all the above, and said I was actually excited about him going as we might sign a nippy striker who would make us less predictable.

I think about 4 or 5 people agreed with me while most were talking about not renewing their STs due to lack of ambition, and saying Wootton could sign for a Championship team!
