    re: Connor Sammon

    [quote="Rob_the_Ram"]I thought this thread was about Conor Sammon

    Here we go:
    In a photo, looks a model centre forward.
    On the pitch, anything but.

    For a big man, he wins VERY few headers and though looks to rough up the CBs, never seems to dominate them..
    His touch is excellent (third touch that is).
    He cannot hold up the ball anywhere near to the degree Martin can - this is crucial to the way we play.
    Natural finisher - not seen it yet.

    From what I see, his strength is running onto balls through or over the top with CBs turning.

    That's why I would like to see him play wider (if brought on) giving Bryson / Hughes time to run on to anything he produces. Martin or Bamford should be central.

    I really wanted Sammon to succeed and on here, suggested he should be given time.
    In fairness, he's been here a while but had little game time over this season.

    Probably best all round if he does move on.

    In hindsight, Sammon is probably as poor a signing as Mar

    re: Connor Sammon

    he can't strike a football. That's his main problem. Scuffs nearly every shot he hits (even pens). A fan of his attitude and positional sense, and don't think he's as bad a target man as some paint him, but he just doesn't hit the net enough to be able to get by on effort alone.

    For all parties concerned he needs to leave this summer, tho if he didn't I'd not be upset.

    Straight swap for Thorne would do me!
