CMS

[albionalex]

I was told a Yorkshire club had made an offer to him.

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Loved the guy. Gus ruined him.

No he didn't. He wasn't all that to start with. CMS only has one game which is using his speed to run onto through balls past flat-footed defenders. The kind of stuff we all did at junior school then grew out of. It only ever worked at the Crazy Gang of Peterboro where they went up due to something daft like scoring a hundred goals and conceding a hundred goals also. That was never going to be sustainable. Same as CMS career really.One trick pony. With the emphasis on pony.

Wheeltappers & Shunters?

One trick pony?, Don't know about as he pulled of 2 cracking goals at Burnley that every Striker would love or be able to muster.

At Peterborough he was at his best when latching onto the through balls and was prolific and was deadly. With us he was wasted. It's like asking a bricklayer to be a carpenter.

A good analogy actually. At his best, (and when playing alongside a a big number 9), he was a prolific finisher. As many have said, he was wasted at the Albion, as we never ever played to his strengths.

We need to remember though, that at 34 his best days are behind him, and if his salary isn't an issue, l can see him thriving in the lower divisions in the final years of his career. Sometimes it isn't all about money, it's about contentment.

Which trick was this?

There was that nice little swivel-turn-and-finish against Leeds.

34 ?..... 31 you mean

Oh the irony

He had enough chances in front of goal and fluffed the majority of them.

But when he chased on to a through ball he invariably did not take the chance. He played in a Peterboro side that gave him stacks of chances at a lower level and his record at League 1 is first class, however at a higher level there is no evidence to indicate he is good enough.

Agree, that L1 team with CMS, Boyd, McCann and Tomlin (was McLean in it too?) just clicked and had one of those seasons where nothing could go wrong

But that's the trouble - he was here 4 years and you manage to highlight just one standout game.

Weren't they responsible for ruining Huddersfield and Lee Clark's fictional Invincible 50 or so games 'unbeaten' run? I remember hearing about it at the time through certainly media outlets creaming themselves over it. It was absolute nonsense on stilts.

 

[saafend_seagull]

Alright then - I'll guess Southend.

Indeed.

Essex background
Fits in with hoof style

 

[wellquickwoody]

What are the odds on him being Championship top scorer next season?

I will happily offer 500-1.

 

[portslade seagull]

Finding his level then

 

[hans kraay fan club]

League One, or SPL top scorer at Celtic.

 

[Gwm]

Last I heard he was returning to Peterborough looking at a player / coaching role.

Although as with any rumour this time of year probably isn't the case.

 

[Mutts Nuts]

Not sure if it has been posted on here before ,but iam hearing that CMS is being linked with Luton.

Thought that might have been a bit of a come down for him

A come down ? he`s lucky to be playing after the way we were mugged into signing him, complete waste of air
