Cridontour Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 Just watched the Preston highlights and he had a couple of other chances. Composed finish for his goal, another good afternoon at the office for him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 By all accounts he been playing very well for them beside the goals. I watched one of their games recently and he played on the left wing didn't score but played very well creating a lot of chances, and you could tell how much the other Preston players rate him as more often than not he's the first player they look for when attacking.

Rightdm00 Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 He's done with the championship after this season. Need to find him a spot in our squad or a top flight loan. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just looking at the record of England's U21 strikers this season playing league football... Balogun Nine appearances for Middlesbrough no goals, John-Jules eleven appearances for Blackpool no goals, Rhian Brewster fourteen appearances for Sheffield United three goals, Sam Greenwood one appearance for Leeds no goals, Joe Geldhardt eleven appearances for Leeds one goal. In ten league appearances for Preston he's scored more than all of them put together, for me he should have been in the England U21 squad even before he went to Preston as he was scoring against first team opposition in the EFL Trophy and EFL Cup which is a lot harder than scoring at U23 level, but surely now he has to be not only in the next squad but starting games. 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be nose for all I care providing his doing the business/putting the effort in No, of course it doesn't matter. My point was it would be extra sweet if he supported a rival team as so many would be fuming when he made it with us. Turns out I was mistaken though. I mean, can you imagine the tears we would have had from over the road if Bellingham moved academies at a young age and broke through at Villa?

I guess in the sense that he can do that, but I feel that does his all round game a bit of a disservice. Like useless said he has brought them much more than goals. There are times Preston press incredibly well and he's a key part of that. It's his strength and hold up play that have really surprised me though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once did a EA sports FIFA launch event day out thing with John Barnes and Ian rush, they put the owen hattrick vs Newcastle up on a big screen and said he spent something like 11 seconds on the ball that game Madness but I didn't actually doubt it that much, everything was movement and the 1 or 2 touches and a shot or a goal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see no harm in this kid having another 30/40 games next season at this level 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much more than f-all and score once a game to be fair. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomaszk Posted March 6, 2022 Share Posted March 6, 2022 He's exceeding all my expectations. The reports I've read, he's a real all-rounder who can do it all, which I didn't think he would/could. Had him down as a pure goalscorer. He's playing and scoring, PNE looks like a great place for him next year. The step up is massive, Tammy had a rotten year at Swansea before dropping back down with us. There's no rush. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MWARLEY2 Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 so clinical it is untrue for a lad his age. Good in the air for his size, and genuinely impossible to tell which his stronger foot is. So far he has played 750 minutes in the Championship and scored 5 goals with an average of 2.6 shots per game. Mental. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He also provides a good option to come on for last 20 to 30mins too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rightdm00 Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 He isn't going back to the championship. Keep him in the squad til we run out of cup games and then find him a top flight loan. He's ready. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
