Breaking News Charley Kendall Signs

No they haven't done that bad at all, but they haven't got us out of the league have they, which is surely what we should be aspiring too? I'm not slagging the guy off and like I said I hope I'm wrong and will happily admit that
Havnt got us out the league!,, have you been living under a rock. What this group have done is stuck by the club, stuck by the management and played for the fans. I don’t care whether they got us out the league or not. I do care that they cared enough to battle for the badge when it would have been easy to down tools. We are 6pts off the playoffs with 25 games to play. No reason why we can’t make the play offs and if we do not many will fancy coming to RH

Absolutely right. About a year ago we had to field a strike force of Kabongolo and Vilhete with our only recognised striker, Cards, out injured - no disrespect whatsoever to those two who gave their absolute all. Now we have a choice of strikers but that is still not enough for some. Maybe Bim will be recalled, perhaps Jack Wood and Danny W, will be loaned out, but the short memories of many on here expecting instant success and moaning about the signing before the lad has even kicked a ball for us is unbelievable.

And we had a better season points wise at this stage, despite a deduction of 10.

I wish him all the best. He may be that striker that it just clicks for and he can start being a fans favourite.

Let's be honest we have had plenty of strikers with an unspectacular record who've joined us and done well. Let's hope he is one of those

Our home form is probably as bad as any club in th country over the last ten seasons. Id love to play us....
 
Amazing isn't, we finally manage to secure a 'missed' targeted player from the intended pre season recruitment and it's met with apathy in certain quarters.
A little delving into this lad shows he knows where the back of the net is having scored goals at youth and senior levels. A trip to YouTube shows the type of goals he scores.
As others have rightly said all strikers need service and the sensible thing is to play to their strengths, a number of Woking fans acknowledge that all their forwards are not suited to playing as just one up front which appears to be Doyle's preference and Kendall has suffered as a result.
I feel this is more than just a signing a player with very good potential but potentially a very good signing that can influence our season on arrival, match fit and rearing to go.
This is a player that the management team have targeted and wanted not arguably a ' best of a Hobsons choice senerio '
Let's judge the player on actual performance in our shirt and not by perceived perception of his Woking stats.
 
I keep reading that we only need a few winning games to jump up the table.
That assumes that all teams above us will lose all their games.that will not happen.
Every win will only take us up 1 or 2 spots.
Assuming we have a much better goal difference than we currently have.
If we win. We must score 4 or 4 goals to nil to achieve any upward movement.

I get what you're saying, but equally we are only 6pts off a playoff spot with loads of games still to play. It's all to play for still, and whilst 4 nil wins will be nice they won't be essential.

When don't I go to games, I go to between 8-10 games a season, if I lived within a commutable distance I would go every game. All the ones I don't see live, I see on stream - so I don't see that how not being their in the flesh would mean I am unable to see things as they are. Its an uncomfortable truth.
But, but, but, you can’t be a real fan then like me!
 
Looking at the videos, he certainly looks like something we haven't had up front for a while. Good touch, bit of pace and can finish. Hopefully playing up front in a poor team didn't suit his style and being in a more populated forward line will suit him alot more.

If he hits the net early and that becomes a confidence booster for him, I think we could just have a player on our hands.
 
I find it mental people already shunning him / doubting him. There have been plenty examples of players being average/poor at one club then amazing at another. Gary Hooper and Charlie MacDonald come into mind. Then obviously for us we've had Barry Corr, Simon Cox, Tom Hopper (until his injury).

Another example was Paul Mullin, looked to be a League Two journeyman. Hadn't done much at Morecambe, Tranmere or Swindon. Then turns up at Cambridge and then does amazingly.

I get everyone is entitled to opinions etc but at least give him a chance. As it's been reported, we've been after him for quite some while (I think we tried signing him when he went to Daggers) so it's hardly a bottom of the barrel signing.

Would people write off Josh Kelly if we were to sign him? Hasn't had a great season at Wombles but wouldn't be surprised if we were still monitoring him.
Not writing him off. Im questioning how many strikers we need to sign before we realise that the issue isn't with the strikers....

Crossing balls into the box doth not make goals. Creativity is used as a term in football to have players that are creative ie they can spot am opportunity and a pass.

It's fundamentally why wing backs with defenders is flawed and in our 532 setup you need at least 1-2 players in midfield or upfront to be the creator. Ie singing another striker does nothing unless he's a creator which I don't think he is
 
I’m pretty hyped about this signing. It’ll be interesting to see who he plays along side with better. If he can bring the better out of Bonne, then great. But if he can play along side with Pepple and have them both on the score sheet, then happy days!
