Kane Hemmings

Would have preferred him last season to Thomas or Obikaa, don't think we saw the best of him, however good luck to him at Notts Co. Bit concerned the only activity we have seen is a non league signing and exits from us. What if all potentials fail the run test?
 
Was actually a fan of Hemmings. That being said, I won’t lose any sleep tonight.

We need better if we are to be serious about mounting a challenge next season.
 
I'm sorry that hasn't worked out for Hemmings at OUFC. I was really excited when he signed after seeing his form for Dundee.

KR said that he couldn't guarantee him first team football which should mean that we must be in for at least 2 strikers.

I wish someone would bid for Obika.
Top Scottish league is rubbish though. Half the teams in there are Conference/L2 standard. Steve Maclean is still banging them in!!

Ah, lovely Steve Maclean. Cult status for me.
 
Did Appleton ever sign a striker where it worked well? Considering that Hylton wasn't his signing and Roofe was more of a winger/10, I think that's one part he always struggled with. Some names of the top of my head I can think of who we signed, Waring,Campbell,Hoban, Gnanduillet.

Depends on how you class roofe and maguire I suppose. Shows how hard it is to find a decent striker. Ironically the two he narrowly missed out on would probably have both suited our system really really well.

Ryan Taylor.
 
Would have loved to have had Ryan Taylor here this season, his contribution was definitely underrated.
Absolutely. Didn't get many goals but was a very effective target man. Interesting that Plymouth fans blame his absence for their form tailing off.

His injury-prone nature was the only black mark against his name for me during his spell here. So many strings to his bow.

Well...

Apart from his getting deliberately booked so he could have Christmas off
Being signed as a striker but then insisting on playing some odd midfield role of his own devising
Turning the heads of younger members of the playing staff
Trying sometimes but not bothering at others
Only actually scoring 4 times in the 40 odd league games he played for us despite his reputation and pay packet

A decent target man and a talented (secret) footballer - but by the end of his time with us, it had all worn a bit thin with me TBH

Are you mixing up Ryan Taylor and Dave Kitson?

The only black mark? Seriously?
He couldnt hit a barn door and was a striker. That was a bit of a black mark.
At times in games he was anonymous. He could be bullied by a big centre back.
At times he could look a really good striker. But to me that wasnt often enough. MAPP seemed to think that he wasnt good enough.
