Neverbefore 10,695 Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 Genuine question as I've not seen him play, why are people so excited about woodrow? Like i said, I've not seen him play so maybe I'm missing something, but his stats aren't exactly stand out- At 25 years old, last season was the first time he started more than 11 games in a season having failed to break into Bristol, Burton and Fulhams 11. He scored 14 goals which is decent, but only 3 more than both fletcher and assombalonga who both got criticised for their output last season. 2 assists which is far less than fletcher and the same as britt.

Woodrow is a decent little player. He’s not an out and out goalscorer, but he’d be a good option. I’d love us to go for Chaplin personally. Link to post Share on other sites

I think he has a better chance to be first choice at Blackburn than he does here. With us he has to compete with Stojanovic, plus the senior keeper that Warnock has obviously wanted to bring in (Whether that is Bettinelli or Phillips), so he has 2 senior keepers to contend with. At Blackburn they only have 1 keeper in their squad that has played first team football for them, which is the new keeper they signed, so he has 1 senior keeper to contend with. Of which Pears will be the only keeper in the Blackburn squad that currently has Championship experience under his belt. Link to post Share on other sites

It's probably sped up in the past 24/48 hours due to Fulham being close to bringing in a keeper themselves. Link to post Share on other sites

AFAIK though, the keeper Blackburn signed was their top target and Mowbrays number 1, so unless he seriously shits the bed I think Pears would be waiting in the wings there too, although you're right that there's only one GK to get past and not 2. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

The lack of competition, so to speak, at Blackburn is probably quite appealing for Pears. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
TeaCider24 12,402 Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 Chaplin would be my choice of the two as well, but I'd still be very pleased with Woodrow. Link to post Share on other sites
TeaCider24 12,402 Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 (edited) Pears was refusing to sign a new deal here when he was first choice. Got to be more to it than that, unless he was wanting contractual guarantees that he would remain first choice regardless. Link to post Share on other sites
Snowblind 1,711 Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 (edited) At the risk of sounding like a pedant, can I point out that it's "could have / could've" and not "could of" Sorry. Been going through 250+ job applications and the amount of times I've read it mean it's started to grind my gears! 3 3 3 Link to post Share on other sites

His dads link to Mowbray is behind the move to Blackburn. I think it makes sense all round. He's out to lunch if he thinks he's ready to be first choice or deserves to be. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
