Breaking News Charley Kendall Signs

[ColinMorrisWalksOnWater]

Welcome Charley, nice to have you onboard, enjoy your time as a Shrimper!

 

[Thundersley Blue]

Anyone else not impressed by long range goals for a loosing team? Or just me ?

We need someone who can create chances and score.

What's his playing style like? I've read that he's a bit of a threat and a handful to defend on his day.

Anyone seen him play?

Edit* I technically have, but don't remember

We know very little about him for goodness sake. There is a process for signing players it isn't done to one person. Without any knowledge, bringing a forward in may enable us to loan out Wood and perhaps even Waldron. Danny has played very little since signing, due mainly to niggling injuries. He needs game time as does Jack. Bearing in mind both contracts I believe are up at the end of the season, decisions need to be made.

Just sign all the good up and coming strikers so no one else can

Welcome Charley, youre gonna love it here so many balls go in the box especially at home

 

[SUFCJK]

Yet another young striker with a bang average goals per game tally who if I am honest does not inspire me one bit.

We are crying out for an old proven journeyman, who has done it at this level or above before and if we have to break the bank to get him in then so be it. Anything to get out of this pony division which is becoming more and more painful each year.

I hope, and will be more than happy if I am proved wrong on this one but just like Walker, Bonne etc I am not getting at all excited.

Are you Phil brown in disguise

 

[Leeboy]

yeah, who was that crap striker from Palace reserves, Stan something? F ing sh ite rubbish

so many balls go in the box especially at home
Yeah in our box

Yeah in our box

Charley looks to have good movement when marked, with our recent slow build up a fox in the box is exactly what's needed, Pepple has found a way to create space to shoot and i reckon this lad will too. Our passes into the box are not always great, i believe he'll do very well in this team. We have the lion's share of possesion in almost every game, time to convert that into goals.

 

[Rattus Norvegicus]

As above.

There was a thread a week or two about letting players go. Madness. I still feel quite confident (and I have my fingers crossed) that with a few tweaks and a fair wind etcetera this set of players has what it takes go on a good run & move on up the table.

Of course, I may just delete this post at 16:45 tomorrow ...... [laughing face]

 

[SHRIMPERR]

7 goals and 4 assists in just 1800 mins in a poor Woking side. Looks promising to me

 

[Scamps]

I’m not sure he is the answer, would have preferred getting Effiong. Feel we need a strong target man for pepple to feed off.
Also a top CB is needed more than a forward.

If he shoots from there, he will spend most of the time picking splinters out of his arse through spending every game sitting on the bench.

 

[Barry.C]

Excellent news

Great signing, plenty of potential, strongly dedicated to learning his trade ,Can also put himself about, it seems already learned quite a lot. Well done our Management group !
Maybe even more to come in with some movement out
I sense a good and timely run coming !

As someone already said, Phil Brown mentality. We won’t get a good striker with a good record unless he’s past his prime, so… nah yer alrite

 

[Maldon Shrimper]

Seems it's time for Charley to rediscover his form he previously had early in his career.Looking forward in seeing him first hand before making any conclusions

 

[Ipswhrimp]

Lets judge him at the end of the season and give him a fair go

Welcome to our club you g nan

Sounds Vietnamese, maybe, or Cambodian. Have we signed him?

More along these lines

 

[in the know]

If he shows even 50% of the desire passion ability and loyalty as the last player to wear the no24, he wlll be fine

 

[Yorkshire Blue]

Maher’s issue is not about shooting from distance it’s about not shooting when you don’t have a clear shot on goal.

There’s nothing wrong shooting in those instances above. Defenders stood off and let him get a shot away.

What you don’t want to do is have a shot that is easily blocked and the ball rebounds behind you and the opposition break. In those circumstances the opposition is way more likely to score than you.

But people yell shoot when if the player pulls his foot back their marker will just step up and block it.

Anyway, I’m interested to see what he brings to the pressing game. We’ve won little ball up top with a half fit Bonne. If he can add some energy up there and harass defenders into mistakes I think we’ll be more of a threat on the break and that will make us appear to be playing on the front foot more.

The main difference between this season and last season has been the lack of an effective press IMO. I want some more energy up front.

 

[gatecrasher]

The negativity and pessimisimism surrounding this signing comes from the massive underachieviment this season has been so far. All the goodwill and excitement of a new dawn under new owners, with a team that, last year only missed out on the playoffs because of a 10 point deduction, just floundering around lower midtable playing a brand of football that is one of the worst in the league.

A team out budget and squad is just wholly unacceptable. Most of us have had to endure over a decade of decline , we shouldn't just sit back and passively accept it.

If Charley turns our a good signing, brilliant, I'll be delighted, but my fears are with the way Maher plays, unless he can be a target man or create from nothing, he will struggle.

Matt Dennis wasn’t a target man and didn’t really create from nothing and he flourished under Maherball.
