Can we get excited about a striker with fewer goals than Robert Duffy this season?

I can't (yet).

Rad Ox were raving about him in the 5-0 game, I seem to remember

McAllister was the striker who destroyed Willmott with his pace
for the third goal at Nene Park. He looked very good that night and has a goal scoring pedigree at this level. Not only did he skin Motty, he finished expertly past Turley.

At Woking he was highly regarded and should have gone on to better things. Maybe he has now?

I will also say that when we signed Paul Moody, I was completely unimpressed by his record too.

I went on to spend most of my early adult life wanting his babies.

It's a decent signing but will only bear fruit if the service to the front two is radically improved... I still think a left winger is a massive need although now that Quarter Pounder (sorry, wrong junk food chain) has signed, perhaps we'll see the end of Joel Ledgister as a striker and he can play in his proper position as a right winger.

If Murray can pass the ball then that's also a step forward.

I would like to see the situation with Danny Rose sorted one way or another, sooner rather than later. Personally I would want to keep him IF we can get him fit. Put him alongside a ball winner with options ahead of him or wide of him and I could see him really hurting opposition defences.

I feel a little more optimistic today.

The vast majority of BSP strikers would have destroyed Wilmott for pace. He has not been properly fit for us for ages.
Goal scoring pedigree - 1 in 4 matches. Whilst that is good by OUFC's awful goal scoring standards most other team would laugh at such a record.
But again I'll cast judgement when I've seen him play.

Can't believe nobody has mentioned Slabber yet?

Both signings have potential to please or dishearten I just hope TIU stay off their backs for a few weeks.

Blimey, those would have been the ugliest babies ever to have seen the light of day. :shock:

I wouldn't mind having babies with his Mrs.

Ooops - big mistake. I've got nothing against PM's wife as I've never met the lady, when I wrote the above I was thinking of Matty Elliot's wife.

Paul Moody got married after he left Oxford.

I know that as a neighbour of mine played in a blues band at his wedding at Southsea Castle.

According to him she looked like a &quotWAG&quot.
