The knocking of Sears on 21:16 - Nov 23 with 6330 views | Guthrum | Perhaps we should stop thinking of Sears as a striker per se. He is, in reality, more of a pacy (by our standards) winger/midfielder. I'd love to see him score again, but there's no point in putting him under pressure to do so. If he can break open defences and create opportunities, that's good enough. He's one of the very few Town players actually capable of running with the ball. [Post edited 23 Nov 2017 21:23]

He is the only one in the first team squad with genuine pace , not sure yet about Celina though. For that reason he can be useful in the latter stages of a game. | | | |

Debatable whether Huws was even the intended target or if was an over hit ball to a Waghorn IMO. Not to mention the fact he’s not being judged on 45 minutes last night. That’s just one of many examples where’s he’s been utterly sub standard. Only here can a player be consistently pants for 2 years and still defended to the hilt. He’s a league 2 footballer masquerading as a championship substitute. Quite simply put, he’s not good enough. | |

Yeah agree, and You could the excitement of a one on one die once we realised it was Sears. Could have shot early, didn't. Could have squared to Celina, didn't. Could have made keeper work, didn't. It stunk of the Sears that mick has created | |

You disagree? Fair enough. Personally think the season or two being stuck out wide has turned him from a confident striker into a really poor overal footballer. One man picked him there weekly. Bet I'm not the only person to think MM has impacted his career negatively | |

With McGoldrick out, we are likely to see Sears starting from now on till Jan. Please get behind him and support him. | | | |

I just want to know who was impacting his career negatively before he joined us, seeing as he’s consistently scored at a similar rate throughout his career? | |

I think he'll do a good job in that wide role of the three behind Garner. Tracking back he'll do a better job than McGoldrick in that respect. A run of games is probably all he needs. I can't understand the negativity regarding his performance on Wednesday - personally, I thought he did reasonably well. I appreciate people are highlighting the missed opportunity when he went around Westwood and his involvement for their second equaliser, but there were a few Town players that were also culpable for that as well, but that seems casually forgotten.

The knocking of Sears on 11:32 - Nov 24 with 5765 views | Dubtractor | Come on, it was a decent cross but nothing more than you'd expect from a professional footballer. It seems in some people's eyes it has become a thing of wonder. As others have said, he just isn't really good enough. Incidentally, Mick deems to agree seeing how little he has played him this season. | |

The knocking of Sears on 11:38 - Nov 24 with 5754 views | Herbivore | I thought he did okay and him giving the ball away at the end is colouring everyone's perception of his overall performance. It was a bad error to give the ball away but it was an error compounded by about three more errors from others prior to the ball going in. He should've done better with the one on one and that's where his lack of confidence really showed. However, he was involved for both goals, teeing up Waghorn's chance that won the corner we scored from and then crossing to Huws for the second. His pace was a threat and helped us to stretch them and counter well. The two obvious mistakes from him are there for all to see but he did lots of good things too. | |

Huws is back, Bishop is back, Adeyemi is nearly back. Connolly and Skuse playing well. Celina playing well. I doubt very very much we will see Sears start any time soon. Mick may go mad though I suppose. | |

With Huws now available I do not think we will be seeing Sears starting but of course he should have our full support if he does play. He is an ITFC player so no reason why he should not have everyone's support. | | | |

Agree with this 100%. His confidence is low but he works hard and I feel he does offer us something with his pace and directness. | |

You don't remember the Sears we brought from Colchester then, or what he gave in 3/4 months up top? | |

He was having a good season and continued to ride that good form when he joined us Freddie Sears has scored more than 12 goals in a season once in his career. Mick hasn’t ruined some brilliant striker who was scoring for fun before joining us. An okay, lower league forward joined us in the middle of a purple in his career, and has since reverted to the mean of being an ok player That’s why we could get him for a couple of hundred thousand [Post edited 24 Nov 2017 13:14]

The knocking of Sears on 21:05 - Nov 24 with 5527 views | braveblue | Striker that does not score. Simple chance but no left foot. Just had to roll it to Celina but did not look up. Gave ball away for late equaliser. Otherwise brilliant. | | | |
The knocking of Sears on 05:38 - Nov 25 with 5462 views | Vaughan8 | He (almost) scored as well haha The cross whoever it was for, didn't go to the intended target, unless the cross was to no1? Huws still had a fair bit to do and then waghorn needed to get his head around it. Huws' cross which was the assist wasn't even "inch perfect". He seems really low on confidence. That 1 on 1 should have been a goal, regardless of what side your glasses are tinted. A confident player like he was when he joined us would have scored that 9 times out of 10. | | | |
The knocking of Sears on 06:51 - Nov 25 with 5445 views | brogansnose | Nobody is booing or directing abuse at the lad. There is a lot of sympathy for a player who when he first came here was played ina strikers role and sticking balls in the net from all angles. That sympathy is there because he has played in whatever role that has been asked of him without moaning and has clearly given it his all. There is a general opinion that he is very low on confidence possibly from being played out of position and from missing some absolute sitters over the last season and a half. He could really do with a short loan somewhere because we all want that player back that we first got from Col U. | | | |
