Simon Church

by Archie's penalty » 31 Oct 2009 15:02

I think he's our best forward now that Hunty is injured so let's all get behind the guy.

Great movement, decent with both feet, surprisingly pacy.

I think it's going to come good for him.

Good positioning, fairly quick, good enthusiasm. Once he works on his finishing then he'll get goals at this level.

He is one of the most exciting yet most irritating forwards to watch.

Fantastic runs, vision, skills....

...but rubbish finishing!

Still I can't judge after only a handful of games - let's hope the poor finishing is only due to poor confidence.

Definitely a promising player and if anyone will be able to bring the best out of it, it'll be Rodgers I'm sure!

I've said before if he was 3rd/4th choice we'd be creaming ourselves over his potential.

He's been a bit over exposed, he will come good imo. Needs a little help and Rodgers knows that.

Surely he's got too much ruth and he needs to lose it?

If Church finishes the season with 10 goals or more (only 8 to go so quite possible), it will have been a very good season for him, even if he plays virtually all the remaining games.

He's never had a particularly good scoring record, and he's very inexperienced. But he's athletic, fairly quick, can head and has brilliant movement and positional awareness for such an inexperienced player.

That's the sort of stuff that it's very hard to give someone who doesn't have it. Shooting accurately and well can be coached into him and will also improve as his confidence builds and the side's creativity gets better.

He looks an extremely exciting player to me, and is what? Only 19/20?

At the start of the season, I thought he was bloody awful and way out of his depth. However, he's much improved. He's got good touch and movement. Reminds me a bit of Dean Horrix. Good skill and movement, reads the game well, never going to be a consistant goal scorer but will be the main reason behind a someone else in the team being a regular 20 goal a season player.
