CaptnCanary 0 Posted July 30, 2011 Sounds like one of those from his compilation video - we will need 1 or 2 players who can score several from long range efforts like that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PurpleCanary 5,554 Posted July 30, 2011 [quote user="CaptnCanary"]Sounds like one of those from his compilation video.[/quote] ---Indeed. He seemed to score quite a few with very accurate, low shots from distance, and that was how Michael Bailey described this one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

paul moy 235 Posted July 30, 2011 [quote user="Gingerpele"]Even Cody Macdonald?[/quote]Indeed... he scored from the half-way line last season only for it to be disallowed. A shame because it would have looked excellent on his compilation video with his other 25, and would have shut up a few more doubters. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jonnyboy 0 Posted July 30, 2011 Francomb, crofts, r. Martin, have all scored from outside the area, as you say it just takes balls because if you spoon it the inevitable... YOU #ANKER comes screaming from the opposition supporters Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Davo 0 Posted July 30, 2011 I was at the game today and the ting that surprised me most about the goal was with how ordinary his attitude was when he struck the ball. It looked like he had been doing that everyday day for a year and knew exactly what was going to happen.It was a cracker and if he can score a few more like that and produce crosses like he did for Morrison''s goal on a regular basis he will be worth a fortune by the end of next season and a possible England contender.However it was only a 20 minute cameo against a Cov team that weren''t giving maximum effort so we shall see.Davo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

IF he can reproduce that in the premiership this season, and it is a BIG IF, then there''s no reason why he can''t play for England. England lack a right winger who can actually play the ball, Wallcott and Lennon are players who relay on pace, Bennett showed he has a final product.Davo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The sooner he is played in a striking role the better. Him and Holt would do well. [;)] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

star_manic 0 Posted July 31, 2011 laps may shoot from distance but will he ever score again? ther are city season ticket holders who wern''t even born the last time he scored, or at least it feels like that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yelloow Since 72 54 Posted July 31, 2011 Having seen the highlights on Canary Player, both his cross for Morison''s excellent header and his own goal were pure class. Yes, both will be much harder to replicate in the Premiership, but the potential is there. I also like his positioning and tracking back which give him an all-round ability rare in wingers. He will certainly be one to watch! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
