I'd be inclined to give Sam the Sham more time before I made a judgement.
1) He's ob 'ring rusty' as are some of the other new recruits.
2) I do like the advantages a biggun up top can give you in certain situations. 20 mins to go, one nil down, Get Big Sham on and play some scud-ball. Sod the tippy-tappy stuff.
We shall no doubt revisit this fred as/if the season progresses.
Sam really struggled with his back to goal yesterday and did nothing to suggest he can hold the ball up when it's lumped up to him. Seems to like to get the ball on the wing and run with it, but just looks a bit Bambi-esque at the moment.
Let's hope he can hit his stride quickly, otherwise it's going to be a very tiring season for Wootton.
Not sure how many minutes in total he's played for Notts, and regardless of how much he hasn't impressed but it's sounding a tad harsh to want him out of the club this early. Even by NCM Pitchfork standards
"Hello darkness, my old friend...."
After today's brace and a goal of season contender for all English leagues not just the Non League it's only right to bring back this beautiful thread.
Elisha Sam needs to go... into the first team on a more regular basis!
We're pretty good at keeping clean sheets but a bit short on the goals front, and this guy seems to have a few tricks and goals in him.
He was truly woeful in the first half, moving him into part of the front three obviously suited him better...good move by the manager.
Wonderful second goal.....Has anyone ever scored a better goal for Notts? If so, then who and when?!
