Well there's Levi Landricombe at Tivvy. Apparently, as I understand it, he has been 'looked at' but 'has no defensive side to his game's.
Seems akin to criticising some of our defenders for not scoring a lot of goals - christ, one or two of our midfielders get a nosebleed when they're in the vicinity of the opposition box.

According to a local scout only plays with his left and deemed easy to defend against
Though 43 goals in 49 appearances might suggest otherwise.

It might though the question is would stepping up six levels work with predominantly one foot?

And the answer would likely be it probably wouldn't.

Of course, that may well be the case, but seems a bit harsh to suggest that someone who's scored 43 goals in 49 appearances is 'easy to defend against'.

Moreover, much as I like Macca, you'd have to go a long way to find a player as one-footed.

I'd suggest that scout is clueless. Plenty of players only use one foot.

We have a number of players who rarely use their weaker foot, McAlinden (as egg says) and Moxey spring to mind.

Reid hasn't looked too chirpy for a while and no wonder.

Sad to see him go as I rate him however he wasn't a big part of Tisdale's plans.

If Stockley gets injured where are the goals going to come from ?

We got youth players with 9/10 years of professional coaching behind them to get in first imo.

No point keeping a player that we don't play. So good business.
We have a ton of those though!
