I forgot Pyke was there - how can he not even get off the bench in such a hopeless team? He must have lost interest completely, because when he was on the pitch for us this season he at least looked capable of playing for L2's bottom team! Had a quick look at his stats - I make it he's made 47 League 1 appearances and scored 1 goal. He's appeared 6 times for a League 1 side in the FA Cup without scoring & 5 times in the League Cup, scoring 2 amazingly enough. That 3 year contract must be one of the worst decisions I've known the club make. Two years down and he's scored 1 League Cup goal. I know goals aren't everything for a striker but, sheesh. Has there been a Salop striker with a worse strike rate (assuming, say, a minimum 20 appearances and at least 1 goal scored)? Scored once in the football league trophy too!! Whilst I completely agree, I can only imagine he is on a small wage and Ricketts oversaw the only vaguely prolific period of his career that gave him a vastly different view of how good he was when compared with this rest of his career. I'm sure there are worse out there stats wise for town..Especially for minutes per goal, as he really hasn't played that much. Aaron Amadi Holloway wasn't exactly prolific, and even this last 18 months - Tom Bloxham has played quite a lot for a fairly poor return of goals.

A, Pyke for getting injured and not recovering B, Cotterill for not getting him back up to form or playing him in his proper position C, Ricketts answers on a post card to it was all Sams fault PO BOX 532 Tinkerton

Chris Freestone was about as prolific, but he probably didnt play as many games as Pyke.

Was wondering whether Kris Bright might have rivalled Pyke, but he got a frankly lethal 3 goals by comparison.

I think the number of appearances, the number of goals (and, I strongly suspect, the number of goal involvements) combined with the length of contract must make Pyke hard to beat.
Comparing that with any loanee is a non-starter.

We all know Ricketts was a clown, but somebody higher up should've put the handbrake on punting a lad a three year deal who'd only ever scored 1 league goal.

It says it all really about the player and the signing, that the best we’ve seen of him was as emergency wing back cover.
A spectacularly awful signing.

The reason why Pyke will go down as such a bad signing was because he was signed on a 3 year deal, if he had signed a 1 or 2 year deal then he'd probably have been released and joined a long list of duds that get forgotten about. Instead he is up there with Nathan Elder in terms of bad deals for the club

If I was going in to bat day in day out for a really bad manager, I'd be tactical and stick to some of the lines I might have some success with rather than sliding in two footed with a desperate "Pyke was good actually"

Maybe it's just someone else, you mean. No prizes for guessing who. This is a thread about Scunny, who signed Rekeil Pyke from us in January & I made the point that he doesn't seem to have done anything for them and that he seems to have been a very bad signing for us. Somebody decided to somehow twist an anti-Cotterill element into it and how we're only discussing Pyke because ....... ah, forget it, God only knows how that reasoning's supposed to work. I just wanted to discuss Pyke, not his managers.
