    Preston fans' thoughts here:

    https://www.pne-online.net/forum/index.php?threads/stockley-to-charlton-loan-confirmed.3432484/

    Not overly fussed to see him go, but complimentary about his character.
    I see what you mean:

    "Seems a nice guy.


    Hope he doesn't come back."


    What the fans of his last club thought isn’t reliable. So many factors go into whether a player does well at a club. Are they good enough? Will they settle in the area? Does the team play in a way which brings out their best? Do they like their team mates? Is their personal life/mental health in a good place?

    QPR fans were upset Smyth was allowed out on loan,  Gilbey was player of the year at MK Dons. Pompey fans said Bogle was decent but injury prone. Millwall think Amos is no good, Sunderland wanted shot if Matthews, 

    Sometimes a change of club revitalizes a player, sometimes they carry on like they did before, and sometimes their form collapses. All that matters to us is what he does here, and we’ll have to wait a dozen games or so to start really figuring out what that will be. 
    Well after Yesterday.....

    Doesn't look a bad signing but another forward wasn't really a priority in my opinion. Wish him the best though.
    it was THE priority, trust me !!!!

    Are you still sure a forward was THE priority Douch? Really?!?
    yes, 100%

    I can't understand people moping that we needed a defender more than a striker like you have to recruit in the exact order of need. What defender is available that we want and can afford? What team is willing to do us a favour on a basically free loan? Maybe there's someone, maybe there isn't. Maybe a team are waiting to get a player in before letting one go. Stockley was not only available and wanted by us, but he was in demand. Sunderland and Bristol Rovers wanted him so we had to move when we did. I imagine the people complaining that we need a defender more would have just sat and let Stockley be signed by another team on the basis that there's a hierarchy of signing and we can't break it no matter what. We need a physical midfielder more than a defender anyway.
  • Speaks extremely well...

    Patrick Bauer put in an extremely good word to get him to sign for us

    A real forward.
  • I like what I've seen from him so far. He's not the quickest, but he is very physical and seems to be able to bring players into the game which is exactly what we want. 

    From out current strikers I'd have him above Ronnie to start for sure.

    Totally agree!👍

    I have a feeling that he will have more of an impact in the next few months than Ronnie. With his hold up play, I can imagine the other strikers competing to play alongside him, with Chuks the prime option

    I think Jayden will probably want to wait until the end of the season to see if there’s Championship interest in him but is it worth trying to get him to sign now? If it’ll fit inside the cap?

    I'd rather have Jayden on a perm deal than Shinnie, I rate Shinnie but think Stockley would be a handful in Champ as well and would be harder to replace

    For that reason I think it will be easier to sign Shinnie permanently, especially as Stockley's contract runs until 2022

    Nothing so far has changed my mind over this

    Well I’m glad he spoke to Bauer and not Francis about us!

    To be fair, Francis probably would have told him 'you'll be fine there, the fans aren't allowed in'

    Fun Fact!

    Did you know that we've not won a single game Stockley has scored in.

    In fact we've only got 1 point from a possible 12 when he has!

    All 4 goals have come in individual games over the last 5.

    The game he didn't score in was the last win we had.

    To me this says he is better than what we already had (though that was fairly obvious early doors) and is grabbing the opportunity but the rest of the team are relying on him to scrape em through.

    I’m no oil painting, but I’d never noticed how much Evans looks like Roland Rat until now.

    In addition to this, Shinnie has assisted all 4 of his goals.

    Proves they are doing their job but the defence isn't.

    He's excellent. Imagine how useful he will be if we didn't just lump balls to him, but turned them to attacking moves and crosses!
