useless Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 Surprised he hasn't gone back out on loan, maybe it's a case of wanting keep one proven striker back for the U23s. He could benefit from other players going out on loan in similar way to how Archer did at the start of the season. As it stands our first team attackers available for the second half of the season are Bailey, Traore, Coutinho, Buendia, Ings, and Watkins, that's six players to cover the front three, an injury or two, and he could suddenly find himself in the first team squad.

CVByrne Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 Well if there wasn't the right club where he'd get regular game time it wouldn't have been worth it sending him out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 He was getting regular game time at Carlise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Follyfoot Posted January 31, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted January 31, 2022 On 25/01/2022 at 11:13, OutByEaster? said: I love how aggressive he is, he will battle and battle and battle with a centre half no matter how big they are - he seems to play on the edge of a rage and then when there are moments when he needs to finish or play someone in, he's suddenly calm as you like. It's a fantastic mentality. Might have got away with a little punch in the back of one of the defenders last night in a tussle, but he's smart with it too and more than capable of leaving his mark. He never stops running, he's hard as nails, nasty as Thatcher and finishes like a zen Buddhist - I bet he's an absolute nightmare to play against. Thatcher may well have been nasty but she was never turned in her career Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaVilla Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 well, he's defo not out on loan, he's in the starting 11 for the PL2 game versus Newcastle tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MWARLEY2 Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 I guess Gerrard will look at him a bit closer. He has got some brilliant aspects to his game alongside some poor ones. His timing of his runs and his willingness to have it with cemtre halves is pretty outstanding for an 18 year old Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted June 12, 2022 Share Posted June 12, 2022 Finished top scorer for the U23s despite only being there for half a season, didn't do as well goal scoring wise out on loan but Carlise as a team were very poor as creative and attacking force, only bottom placed Scunthorpe scored fewer goals than them in the whole division. I think in a more attack minded side he'd do better, Garner has left them as manager now to join Charlton, so we might not have the same connection, but I think Swindon would be a good move for him, that's presuming they bring someone who's going to have them playing in a similar way that Garner had them playing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted June 12, 2022 Share Posted June 12, 2022 Only has to look at Cameron Archer. I think he's really got something about to have another really good career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love Brads attitude and aggression and his brilliant movement. But the one thing that will hold him back more than anything is his left foot. Not alot going on there .

Seems a drop down from Carlisle. If he carries on this geographic and league trajectory he will be playing in the Icelandic football league.

HalfTimePost Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 I wonder if there is a strategic reason so many of our players are going to Scotland. Not that I can think of one but Caleb, Chrisene and now Young. Maybe more chance of gametime and just as physical as League 1/2? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 I don't think he impressed a great deal at Carlise, there were probably mitigating circumstances for that such as them being one of the worst if not the worst attacking teams in the league, so not much in the way of chances would have been created for him, not his fault, I imagine would have done much better in a better attacking team, but that he didn't make much of an impression as an attacking force may have been enough to put other League Two sides off bringing him in and beyond that in this country there's only non-league. So it might just be that the club thought the Championship in Scotland was a better level for him than the National League in this country, Ayr are top of the League and have second best goals scored as well, so at least looks like he will playing in fairly decent attacking team, if he can impress with them might get an upgrade in January.

tonyh29 Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 tbh he didn't impress me much v Wimbledon the other night , but at 19 he's still got a few years of learning in him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MWARLEY2 Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 The massive issue Brad has is his lack of ability with his left foot. It is fairly easy to negate him by just showing him to the left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skarroki Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 Good move for him I'd have thought because there's a good chance he'll play every week and he's got as good a chance as any now to get in amongst the goals and impress. Hopefully hits the ground running up there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
