So Just who is Joe Pigott?

Henry Irving

To start at the beginning he was born in Maidstone on 24 November 1993 although one website has him as being delivered in Lille, France two years earlier.

And it is, according to Charlton at least, PIGOTT. One G and two Ts.

At 6' 2" he also passes the Charlton Life height test. Just.

He comes from Addington. Thankfully this is Addington in Kent rather than the more down market version in Croydon or the even more down market New Addington next door.

While Ade Azeez and Tobi Sho-Silva took a lot of the limelight Joe kept on scoring goals both for the youth team and for the U21s. He also impressed during a loan spell at non-league London Club Bromley FC.

As well as playing as a striker he has also played at the top of a midfield diamond and is a talented cricketer, having played once for Kent Academy.

So he should and the club shouldn't close the door on that either. It shouldn't however detract from the fact that we must secure the services of two senior strikers. Anything else is madness.

If we were league 1 then fine but we finished 9th and need to push on. Having said that he is saying the right things and we should have two or three academy players breaking into the squad each and every year.

So give him a squad number and get one more striker asap because all of those opening games look winnable to me!

Henry Irving

"The Exiles couldn’t have wished for a better start to the second half. AFC Wimbledon starting the second very much like the first, gifting Zebroski an opportunity through on goal. The keeper stood firm, however the ball fell Joe Piggott, who fired past the goal keeper to set the home support into hysteria.

Newport were continually warned from set pieces, as Wimbledon looked for a reply, sending the majority of set pieces into the ever present, Akinfenwa.

Despite the away sides’ pressure, it was County who took the initiative. Loanee Piggott, picking the ball from deep, beating numerous defenders before sending a deflected effort into Shea’s goal."

I am really happy for Joe, nice person with a good family.

DamoNorthStand

Good luck to him.

Hopefully he comes back full of confidence and does the job for us.

Personally don't think he's got the speed in possession to make an impact at this level but no suprise to see him do well in L2. Well done Joe

Joe is/was a serious cricketer. Opened the bowling with Adam Ball but it seems, in this particular game, one Fabien Cowdrey had a bit more success with the ball:

We now know that Joe Pigott is 'Stone's' eldest son's wife's sisters boyfriend.

Sounds like the build up to a rumoured signing.

I wasn't disputing it in the least, Stone.

Merely "chuckling" if you like at way the thread was developing.

That lol should have been a "col".

BTW Hope they live happily ever after.

Whoever he is , bring him back .. NOW .. and while we're at it, re-sign Swindon Smithy

I know you might have enjoyed the L1 winning season, but I'd rather stay in the Championship.

Probably no longer the case but I remember discovering as a kid that my godmother's daughter's husband's niece's boyfriend's cousin was Ipswich centre-half and set-piece specialist Mark Venus. Touched by the stars, I am

Sounds like a porky !

Pigott is exactly where he should be, learning his trade in division two. He's not good enough for our first team yet, but hopefully this loan will allow him to play games and give him the very valuable experience that he needs. With any luck he may come back to us a better, stronger player, but it's up to him to step up to the championship level.

Joe could not buy a goal in pre season, with offside, saves, or the post hindering his efforts.(2 matches in Spain)

Seeing the goals on FLS, he just got the rub of the green which was much deserved, like Michael Smith he will have a career in 1 or 2. As for the championship, it may be a step too far but at 20 he has still got time on his side to improve.

Hope Joe's dad who would drive all over the country, on the off chance to watch his lad get a game for cafc, was in Newport yesterday to see the brace.
