Was that not when Bowyer was playing that lopsided diamond rather than a 433? I can only remember Stockley playing the lone striker role under Adkins and he was useless.Cafc43v3r said:
Millar and Gilbey made Stockley effective last season and Gilbey is hardly Pele is he.

The fag end of last season, I thought Stockley was pretty good.Chunes said:

Do I recall a previous link or rumour for Tobi Omole from Spurs? He’s just been released1

These are the types of signings we should be making imo. Young and hungry players who have a good base technical level from being in a prem academy, who can then be coached to be even better.Dizzle said:Do I recall a previous link or rumour for Tobi Omole from Spurs? He’s just been released1 -
There’s some proper weird fans on here.Yes let’s get rid of the 20 goal striker who grafts.It’s the same mob who wanted JJ gone (should have been given a longer shot with pre season imo) and Washington (a Garry Nelson grafter who scored)I swear loads of you have never actually played the game.3

But maybe we should have just kept everything from last season because it was working so well. Don't you think?4 -
13 goals*, the 7 goals in cup games do not count as a) they didn’t effect our season and b) were essentially stat padding against non league competition.Valley11 said:There’s some proper weird fans on here.Yes let’s get rid of the 20 goal striker who grafts.It’s the same mob who wanted JJ gone (should have been given a longer shot with pre season imo) and Washington (a Garry Nelson grafter who scored)I swear loads of you have never actually played the game.He barely runs and when he does he’s slow, he can’t control the ball, he can’t pass the ball, his finishing isn’t all that, he can’t link play other than an occasional knockdown, he makes us play slower and one dimensional, he can’t play on his own up top (unlike Chuks), he is wasteful and moany.This is coming from someone who likes him btw. Jayden Stockley as a bench option for a different approach, fine, as the main number 9? No chance.

Not dead in the water but we are not alone in admiring him.SoundAsa£ said:I wonder what’s happening with Tucker from Gillingham?
A couple of months ago JJ’s dad told me that he would ‘definitely’ be playing for us next season.
Of course JJ’s gone now, so that idea may be a busted flush?
we’ve definitely been working on this avenue7 -
You're describing Stockley at though he's a complete donkey, a cross between Mike Small and Mark McCammon. He got 20 goals in a season (yes cup goals do count) and he missed about 2-3 months of it. Even if you're not counting cup goals he got 13 in 28 league starts, and this in a side who were generally poor and didn't create a lot.Braziliance said:

If he hadn't been injured there's a very good chance he'd have got 25+ and been our highest goalscorer in a season since Mendonca in 98.
No one is saying he's as good as Yann or Taylor, but if he's as bad as you describe then why is he (allegedly) wanted by the side who finished 4th in the table?11 -

Silly post. I was a big supporter of both Jacko and Washington while not being totally convinced that Stockley is the answer.Valley11 said:There’s some proper weird fans on here.Yes let’s get rid of the 20 goal striker who grafts.It’s the same mob who wanted JJ gone (should have been given a longer shot with pre season imo) and Washington (a Garry Nelson grafter who scored)I swear loads of you have never actually played the game.
He tries hard but he’s not particularly difficult to defend against in open play. He’s liable to the odd tantrum as well when he doesn’t get his way.
If you’d given me the choice to keep Washington or Stockley this summer, I’d have picked Washington.4 -
Really can't see Stockley going, it would take 2 million plus bid, but I can't see a club paying that. Stockley might want to go, which then might force our hands a little bit.
Going to be a number of players unhappy at the moment, a few clearly had a good relationship with Jacko. And with the lack of ambition at the moment they might be looking to get away!

Still got to put them in the back of the net... It was proven in the season we was piss poor when he didn't play, not only in attack but in defence as well.Braziliance said:

Darren Moore would not check these things. It would be the young analyst at Sheffield Wednesday with the Black Box and the latest download of Football Manager, that would put it on an excel spreadsheetBraziliance said:

Lack of ambition? Isn't it more the case that we haven't had the right team in place to achieve promotion, so we need some upgrades in the coming weeks.DubaiCAFC said:Really can't see Stockley going, it would take 2 million plus bid, but I can't see a club paying that.

Yes the players certainly looked a happy bunch playing under Jacko at first. Can't say it looked that way later on. Those who are unhappy might want to see who's coming in before handing in transfer requests. Not heard of any made as yet!0 -
My comment was firmly tongue in cheek btw regarding Darren Moore!
I do however think Stockley isn’t the answer to how our owner and potential new manager wants to play is all. It’s just my opinion on him as a footballer and if he’s a Charlton player next season I’ll be ok with that obviously0 -

Stockley is an ok league one striker, he's not Lewandowski so obviously we could do better. But does anyone have faith we would actually go out there and get a better striker? I don't. As well as the fact it doesn't send out a great message to sell your top scorer to a promotion rival.4 -

Stockley is a limited player and he also limits the way we play.
At the same time he can be very effective at this level and his goal return in a piss poor season isn't too shabby. Not to mention his essential defensive contribution around Mr.Stickonmyline in goal.
Assuming Garner is in it would appear that Stockley may not suit the way he wants to play.
If Stockley goes I share your concern about whether we can trust our recruitment set-up to get better.
But provided Garner gets final pick on who would be most effective in his system I wouldn't cry a river if we got a decent fee for Stockley

Was it 13 league goals for Stockley? And how many of those were tap ins, or simple headers?alburyaddick said:Have the guys who are championing Stockton looked at his goal scoring record / it’s far worse than Stockley and he has only really ever had one good season which was last year. Swopping out Stockley for him would be bonkers
It’s easy to think ‘we must hang on to Stockley, he’s our main goal scorer’, but any decent replacement playing up top and as centrally as Stockley is likely to score as many (or more), and provide more assists as well, especially if he had a tad more ability on the ball.Stockton to me looks like a better bet, as does Pigott (based on watching him play a couple of times at the Valley), and I’m sure there must be other candidates.
Stockley would be a loss defensively of course.It’s difficult, because we’re used to seeing him as our main striker, but if we can replace him with a better option then he’d be a great weapon coming off the bench.0 -
It’s not my job to find better. Pay me enough and I imagine I would probably be able to though, as would most people who watch football. I saw at least 10-15 strikers in the same league as us better than him last season, I imagine there’s a handful in the league below and probably a handful in non league. Then I am not even sure if we look at the German, French, Italian and Spanish second and third divisions.Chris_from_Sidcup said:

Stockley to me another Josh Magennis. Great in the air and will do a decent job at both ends of the pitch, but lacking the all round game of a Yann or Taylor, or even Deon Burton who was really good in that Parky season in L1.2

Wouldn’t be at all upset about losing him if I had any faith in our recruitment team getting a decent replacement1

These are the types of signings we should be making imo. Young and hungry players who have a good base technical level from being in a prem academy, who can then be coached to be even better.Dizzle said:Do I recall a previous link or rumour for Tobi Omole from Spurs? He’s just been released1 -
Yup, & it’s artificially inflated the demand for players in L1 and L2. We will never be able to have a summer like the one in 2011 again.Scoham said:We won’t be signing players from European lower leagues, Brexit makes it almost impossible at our level.1
