Connor Sammon

[Small Mendonca]

Is completely garbage and should not be a professional footballer.

A decent partnet for Billy and the game would have been over by Half-Time

[Piddie]

Plays like his feet are on the wrong legs never mind his boots on the wrong feet.

I know he had a hand in both goals but I thought Sharp was pretty poor today. But then he's been carrying the forward line by himself for weeks.

He wasn't very good today but was still more effective than our two subs.

 

[Guesty]

Does everyone still think we don't need any help upfront?

We're down to the one functioning striker now and he's not immune to bad form.

No need you've nailed it.

 

[Toronto Blade]

Bad form or an injury and we would be down a pop gun attack.

 

[PeteBlade]

Can't shoot.
Can't pass.
Can't jump.
Can't challenge for the ball.

Can't be in our starting line up again.

 

[DronnieBlade]

Been saying it for months. No where near good enough.

The case for bringing McNulty back and pairing him with Sharp gathers momentum from where I am sat.

UTB.

Are they too similar though?
I'd prefer getting a proper "big lad" in January.

No they aren't.

[FatLadFromSheffield]

Agree Sammon isn't good enough in the long run, but in my opinion we lost something when Baxter came on for him.

 

[PeteBlade]

No they aren't.

We'll agree to disagree.
Can't see us starting Sharp together with him long term.

That's it he really is poor,decent front man with Billy and we,ll piss the play offs

 

[Roygbiv]

Seems mental we have Sammon here and McNulty out on loan

 

[Rodley]

Until Done is fit he's my first choice for partnering Sharp. Don't rate Baxter and don't think McNulty and Sharp would work at all.

 

[sheffielder]

His heads gone. need some pace adding to stretch teams and give Billy more space

 

[HillmortonBlade]

Even from the nearly-back of the Kop, I could see Adkins' frustration just before he substituted him. Perhaps that's one of the private conversations he will be having this week.

 

[Living In a Fantasy World]

He had a poor game today, problem with Sammon is he has too many foolish moments in games, foolish moments that stand out too much.
He is very useful linking up play, he can layoff the ball well and we have seen the odd sweet finish from him. So maybe it's a confindence thing, I don't know but if we play him right he certainly can be a useful player.

It is however they are completely different types of strikers. Adkins had clearly hoped as had all of us that Sammon would have been the perfect foil for Sharp, unfortunately that doesn't seem to be the case.

On paper Mcnulty & Sharp up top would be what most fans would like however realistically it just would'nt work & I couldn't see McNulty wanting to come back here just to play second fiddle now he's got the taste of constant first team football at Pompey.

 

[SUFC Handsworth]

Sammon not good enough, the one we had last year - Davies - was better, more effective and would have been much cheaper. If we can send him back to Derby in January, he should be going back.

 

[Silent Blade]

Exactly right

Sorry, yeah I meant it seems mental when we have a player out on loan who is scoring goals yet we are desperate for a striker. I agree that Sharp and McNulty wouldn't work. I don't think Done and Sharp work either to be honest. I have a feeling Adkins is looking at other areas of the team so I imagine we are stuck with Sammon and Done vying for a place next to Sharp for the rest of the season

Mcnulty ought to be Sharps replacement in waiting, very similar kind of player. He can stay at pompey for the rest of the season but we should have him back for next season. Sammon hasn't hit it off and he's bound to be a big earner, I'd get shut but think he may be on a season long loan ?

 

[Latters]

I don't think Higdon could have done any worse than Sammon today. At least he can finish and would have challenged their centre halves, giving them something to think about.

 

[Ricky]

What an absolute sack of shite that guy is. No aggression, abysmal anticipation, no technical qualities whatsoever and his lack of aggression and laziness make sure he wastes whatever physical attributes he has. We should do everything we can to send the useless fucker back - but apparently Adkins wants to keep him!

 

[Lane Ender]

What the fuck has happend to Sammon he really is embarrassing

 

[maidmarion]

As mentioned before, he did seem to be having a mare of a game,however we were a lot better first half than after he was taken off in the second. Perhaps him just being there and running at defences causes problems that aren't obvious. Mind you , his misses on goal are blindingly obvious......

 

[Ricky]

And to top it all off, the dozy fucker walks off at a snails pace when substituted when we were losing the game. He has quite a remarkable lack of understanding of all things football.
