They also de-registered left sided player Harry McKirdy ex Carlisle bit of a nutter but available.

 

22% scoring record in league two. Not quite proving he can do it really. I'd want my centre forward to average more than 10 goals in a season, unless he can prove that he he brings something else to the table like the ability to bully defenders the way Hanson could. Sorry but Guthrie does nothing for me, and what I've seen of him he's weak and lazy.

 

Yeah but the Waggon and Horses don't need strikers at the minute.

 

Hanson-esque.

 

Was Hanson injury prone and in the twilight of his career immediately after his Sheff Utd debut because that's when his 18 month barren run started.

 

We're discussing longest periods of time when strikers haven't scored. Hanson's at 18 months and around 50 games is one of the longest I've found and certainly longer than Guthries even with the covid enforced lay off. In fact, Guthrie, in game time terms has over half a season before he matches JH so why shouldn't he be mentioned when discussing this topic?

 

Well it took Rowe just one and a half games to beat Guthrie’s record here. And had probably already had 5 times as many shots on target.

Can’t believe in a Covid world we can bring Rowe in, but brought Guthrie in during normal times to replace Vaughan. Hopefully a sign of positive progress.

 

Fair enough....although I think you are comparing a striker who should be in his prime to one who is ready for the knackers yard, but I can't argue with the facts

 

Hanson was 28/29 when he moved to Sheff Utd. Guthrie is 27. There's really not a lot in it.

 

blimey I though Hanson was older than that. Maybe it's due to the physical abuse his body has taken over the years that has him ready for the knackers yard then.

 

Completely agree. PP, whilst being good for Jim's City career didn't exactly give him the best chance for longevity.

 

And on
No goal again today although a tough away game at Tranmere Vale fans must be fuming
Anyone think he will score before the end of the season not too sure myself

 

I do wonder if he has yet to find the right club for his unique skill set.

 

Has he scored yet?

 

Nope. Played 90 mins on Saturday. Local rag described him as “worked hard but did not threaten the goal”.

 

mot just being polite for running round and not doing much

 

Ask @Park bantam as he rated him.

‘The gaffer who signed me at Bradford [Gary Bowyer] was sacked the day after,’ said the former Le Rocquier student. ‘And I didn’t really mesh with the new manager [Stuart McCall]. The way he went about things just wasn’t for me.

 

So what's his excuse now? Five weeks at Vale and he still hasn't scored.
