So ebanks blake has joined telford utd after training with them recently. Could he score goals in the national league north if he stays fit? Thoughts? http://www.telfordun...ws.aspx?ID=1430

I see we're in the line underneath that I presume since he wasn't "prolific"

He was definitely fatter than half the people on here gave him credit for.

That's why you should be barred from commenting on any football related topics!

O'Grady is fine. He's just not a goalscoring striker. He has other attributes. He doesn't suit this squad is all. Not his fault.

Seb on the other hand... well, he's playing for Telford for a reason. Not sure it's necessary to go into all 100 of those reasons again.

I think we'd swap him for anyones dead granny. Very slow and low energy from what I've seen. I hope Jack can turn him around at least enough so we can give him away.

I wouldn't want Sylvan Ebanks-Blake back at any price, but we do seem to confuse time spent with Chesterfield and career achievements.

SEB won the Championship golden boot as top scorer two seasons together. Ask Plymouth Argyle fans or Wolves fans their opinion of him. They'd love him now to go out in a blaze of glory banging in goals for Telford.

He isn't a tall man anyway, and he'd been through several debilitating injuries and time spent on the sidelines when he came to us. He certainly wasn't the same shape as he'd been at Wolves and Plymouth. Whether that meant he was fat, unfit or whether simply time and injury had taken their toll I've no idea, but he'd certainly changed his own game massively from that which had made him a hero at Plymouth and Wolves. He was slower off the mark and at full tilt! Preston gave him nine games was it? That should have given us a clue.

Four different regimes, including Shrewsbury, didn't change his shape or shape his game back to his days as a Championship whizz! But how many fading stars wouldn't have grabbed the contract he signed with us? And how many of us get to experience the adulation he rightly received earlier in his career?

no, but the 'will they have enough pies to keep him fed LOL' comments get rate boring

also, o'grady has done absolutely nothing so far, he looks a shocking signing, done a lot less than SEB did although i suppose SEB was technically in a better team.

He hasn't really played under Lester. And virtually the entire team looked Bunkum under Caldwell, because his tactics were Bunkum.

O'Grady was signed to provide for Dennis. So in a sense I agree, he was a bad signing, but he's not a bad player. Half the people I've seen moaning about him do so cos he rarely scores. He's not that kind of player.

Don't know and don't care.

He came here and stole a wage. Bad apple. As has been proved by his career path post CFC.

[Goku]

Yeah fair point about not playing under Lester yet, more than happy for my opinion to change should he improve

[whittman]

Within a couple of minutes of coming on Tuesday Ogrady held up the ball in their penalty area and then managed to turn the ball across the six yard box inviting a town player who might have anticipated the move to turn the ball into the net

Ogrady had done his job but as things are going for him at the moment no town player could react to his good work

It does not make him a bad player

If he is sub tomorrow I just hope he comes on and either sets up or scores the winner

One thing I noticed on Tuesday was that when O'Grady came on and lined up in the box waiting for (I think) a throw-in to come his way, the Forest Green centre-back shoved him really hard in the back as if to say "welcome". An Italian striker would have gone down in tears and surely technically it should have been a penalty, though few refs would give it, but fair play for COG for standing his ground strongly and not reacting.

Exactly. If we're 2-0 up with twenty to play later on today, it's a given that COG will get on.

Scored 2 so far today. Interestingly flash scores had an Ebanks B score for them too
