The post I was responding to was a reply to the OP about signing proven League One goalscorers. "he did score a few for Peterborough" - yeah a very few. 11 in 58 appearances. Whatever way you cut it. He has never been good enough for this league and the stats bear that out. This whole "whichever way you cut it" is fine, but the better way to cut it would be to make your point without making misleading comments making out that he'd only played in Conf South before his time in L1. By your logic, no signing should be treated us useful if they've come from a league below. Posh signed him as a promising young player who had scored a lot of goals in L2 for Exeter. It didn't work out in L1 for him. I hope he goes on to score goals at his next club, whichever level that is, and wish him well. What are you trying to prove? The point was made that he was a proven league one goalscorer when he joined. He wasn't. He still isn't. He's the the emperor's new striker. Squint all you want. He's never been a league one quality player.

Talking of taches, who would win a poll for Rovers player with best one! can think of a few like JOCKEY (Twerton days) Penny, Twentyman, think Nigel Martyn had one some time, Dave Staniforth? worth a thread on its own, but that would be a bit sad wouldn't it!?..oh and Randall! Mike Green? UTG! Good shout, very impressive it was to if i remember rightly!
