Parkinson's previous signings and what we need.

So... Parkinson's gone and Peacock is in charge for the mean time. I just wanted to look back at Parky's dealings in the transfer windows.

Benson: A good buy. His goals have secured us 10 points this year and if we give him the right service (not just hoofing the ball up to him) he can easily score 15+ goals this season. GOOD SIGNING

Jackson: A good all round player. Can play midfield or defence. A good penalty taker. Scores goals. GOOD SIGNING

Worner: Young keeper from non-league. Developed a lot and from what I've seen, is a good keeper. GOOD SIGNING

Abbot: Lump upfront who will occasionally score you a goal. BAD SIGNING

McCormack: Hasn't done much other than get yellows and get into arguments. Only cares about his Oxo tower dinner nights. BAD SIGNING.

Reid: Excellent winger. Committed to the club. GOOD SIGNING

Francis: Route 1 all the time. Can't defend. Gives the ball away to easily. BAD SIGNING

Docherty: A good defender but old and slow. Good clearing headers. GOOD SIGNING.

Overall his signings were good but there were the odd few that were terrible and are still with us today.

WHAT WE NEED:

A forward that is good at holding up the ball to partner Benson.
Suggestion: Charlie Austin

A Centre Back to develop whilst Dailly and Doc play. then replace them next year.
Suggestion: ??????????????

A Right Back to replace Francis. Jenkinson isn't ready yet and we need a replacement
Suggestion: Fraser Richardson(though he won't come back to us)

    my thoughts, are you Paul Benson?
  • BensonFCBensonFC
    No

    Or Benson's Mum?

    No

    I agree re Paul Benson.

    He clearly needs a different style of play to what he got from Parkinson.

    centre back - jason pearce from bournemouth
    right back - when chris solly is fit he can slot in
    striker - bradley wright phillips would compliment benson in a partnership but only if we stop hoofing the ball
  • DizzleDizzle
    We will not sign Charlie Austin. No way. There are Championship and Prem clubs sniffing. He will not join us.

    Pick a different partner Paul
  • charente addickcharente addick
    Unless we have truly big money Austin must surely be going to a Championship club. Can't see Austin being anything but a dream for us.
  • SimonsenSimonsen
    I like the centre back at Brentford - Legge. Raw but very aggressive and good in the air. Could go onto better things.

    Also like Charlie McDonald...now a very consistent striker but at the moment we need a striker with pace for when Joe doesn't play. Someone to get in behind the oppo.

    No. he is a good stirker. Kingston agrees.
  • Covered_End_LadCovered_End_Lad
    he has talent, feel sorry for him having to play in a team where the ball is just booted up to him
  • ValleyGaryValleyGary
    i agree with you about benson.

    right back we will be okay without francis. personally, from what i saw at brentford, jenkinson is good enough for L1. he's tall, athletic and likes a tackle. looks a lot more comfortable on the ball than francis. solly to come back too. i think jenkinson has a real future at the club.

    reid the jury is well and truly out,been pointless this season

    Adam Le Fondre!
  • cfgscfgs
    Or his brother?

    Although I think he will score if he is given proper service
  • TELTEL
    Reid has been very dissapointing.....perhaps some new coaching might turn him around...he has the talent....someone just needs to turn the tap on
  • McLovinMcLovin
    He got some decent service on Monday, but generally gave it away. I'm not completely down on the guy, but he's certainly not an unqualified success. His hold up play is so bad it suprises me every time I see him.

    he's a funny one reid. thought he started well on monday and put a couple of decent balls in the box. then he hardly see's the ball for 60 minutes and looks bored. a player that will probably improve greatly when the style of football does.

    Ok. As your all complaining that I think Benson is good. His goal against MK Dons got us 3 points. His 2 goals away at Plymouth got us 1 point. His goal away at Swindon helped us get 3 points. His goal against Rovers got us 1 point and his goal against Colchester got us a point.

    3+1+3+1+1=9

    9 Points he has earned us this season. without them we would be in 19th, just above the relegation zone.
  • nollynolly
    you something to do with the funny looking dude?
  • wickfordwickford
    Will Hoskins @ Brizzle?
  • McLovinMcLovin
    I think there's question marks over Doc and Reid (based on this season).

    Other signings missed of the list
    Dailly - most certainly good
    Aniyansah (sp) - mixed, good while he's on, but that's not much
    Fortune - mixed
    Sodje - probably erring towards bad...
  • dabosdabos
    Does every signing have to be GOOD or BAD with nothing in between?
  • Weegie AddickWeegie Addick
    And the winner at Carlisle away? That's another two points he's got us.
  • BlackForestRedsBlackForestReds
    I like what Benson brings to the team - but he isn't a target man, neither is he the sort who'll create chances. Tell him to get in the box when we attack and get the team to create the half chances that he can tuck away. He has played at his best this season when paired with Anyinsah, that should give a few clues as to who we should recruit if we want to play him.
  • nollynolly
    bensons the best striker we have scores a reasonable amount of goals
  • AppyAddickAppyAddick
    I prefer his strike partner, Hedges......
  • Oggy RedOggy Red
    Pre-season we were all talking about the "20 goal a season striker", and wondering how we could get one.

    Benson's previous manager said that if you give him a service, he'll score 20 goals a season for you.
    With Charlton, he's averaging around 1 goal in 2 matches (which IMO is pretty good, better than the industry standard of 1 in 3 for a decent striker) and with indifferent service, often just a hopeful high ball hoofed vaguely in his direction.

    And none of his tally include penalties, unlike many good strikers.

    Well, he's still on course for 20 goals a season. That's what we were asking for, isn't it?
