Louise Posted 9 January 2007 Share Posted 9 January 2007 I do feel for Dodds, he'll be off at the end of the season when his contract runs out, without even making an appearance, despite being around for (what feels like) ages. I don't like clubs keeping youngsters and not playing them for that amount of time, just look at Elvis Hammond. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The People's Hero Posted 9 January 2007 Share Posted 9 January 2007 I don't see why he shouldn't be on the bench and given 20 minutes or so each game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't like clubs keeping youngsters and not playing them for that amount of time, just look at Elvis Hammond. Especially one that scores 20-25 goals a season in the youth and reserve teams.

Ric Flair Posted 9 January 2007 Share Posted 9 January 2007 No arguement there. In defence of O'Grady, he also was scoring hat-tricks and 4 goal hauls in games for our reserves and youth team in the last season or so. It's enough to warrant a first team chance, but Dodds could fail to deliver aswell. We need to find out though, he needs a chance. We've 6 strikers now though, it's unlikely he'll get one. Add to the fact MM could be taking over, meaning more strikers coming in no doubt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Generally speaking though his scoring record is nowhere near as good as Dodds at youth level, Dodds scored goals during the short time he was out on loan and O'Grady didn't during a longer stint. It would be a shame if he left without making a apperance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The People's Hero Posted 9 January 2007 Share Posted 9 January 2007 Surely O'Grady is shit though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louise Posted 9 January 2007 Share Posted 9 January 2007 I think O'Grady will have a career in football, he's athletic and that is one of the main things they look for these days, however I don't think he has enough skill to make it at this level (at least not at this point in time with this team). He's made 25 appearances for us (7 starts) and I'm afraid I've made my mind up about him now (always open for him to change my opinion of him, he certainly hasn't had a long run in the side like other strikers so I won't write him off, but I'd be very surprised if he doesn't go in the summer, especially if MM takes over). He's older than Fryatt and only a couple of years younger than Hume and he can't compare to either of them in terms of goal-scoring or ability. Of course they've had the benefit of coming through at lower league clubs and getting the chances, which is the point I was making above with clubs hanging onto youth players for too long not being good for their personal careers.

Thracian Posted 9 January 2007 Share Posted 9 January 2007 Well, well, well. That's been a good read! How did the quote go?

LCFCIMPS Posted 9 January 2007 Share Posted 9 January 2007 This is Louis Dodds a striker? maybe we could sign him on loan for rest of season if we need to rest Forrester or Stallard now and again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, He'll have to score against Mansfields first team if he's playing for Darlington, not the reserves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FilboFox Posted 9 January 2007 Share Posted 9 January 2007 Especially one that scores 20-25 goals a season in the youth and reserve teams. Without a doubt! O'Grady doesn't do that well whilst Dodds is GREAT! We should strive not to let him go at the end of the season... he could really be a good one for us for next season.
