Not digging anybody out. Just can't see why player who didn't score many in the league below all of the sudden will be moving mountains here. But hopefully he will...Really? I must've missed the season Scully scored 26...
Give the lad a chance before you start digging him out eh
One of my favourite players in recent years. Some may call him one trick pony but plenty of quality in this lad. Enough to score 15 goals each season. If he was quicker it could be a PL.move tonight. Very best of luck and thanks for great memories .
Without him we are in for an even longer and harder season now....

Someone needs to scoring goals now once our best scorer is gone and we have not very prolific (to say the least) centre forwards.
Maybe I'm just too disappointed with this deadline day news. Just hoped for more. Especially after we let Kendall go out on loan I expected some goal scoring forward coming in.
We will see soon if we are really that well stocked up front ..
It would ease the departure angst if we knew the details of the transfer fee involved.
The bit it’s hard to follow why at 10pm on deadline day do Wigan decide they want Scully. Did they miss someone else or just think they can force into a corner on the fee
I'm not. Barely seen him so it would be silly. Just worrying where these 15 goals that just gone to Wigan will now come from.You seem to be writing him off already...
Understand the idea of ,,model'' but also I know we will need need plenty of goals and points to stay up. I don't even dare to dream about progressing as a club and be something more than relegation candidates right now ...Yeah I get that. To my mind it was nailed on Scully would be going during this window and Vernam feels like his direct replacement. I suppose you could say Vernam's at least more experienced than Scully was when he arrived!
I don't really have any concerns with the cover we have out wide, so in that sense I don't see Scully leaving as a catastrophe - I think we've got enough to be competitive once everyone is fully fit and available. I do have a slight nagging worry about goals though, because its undoubtedly a big chunk to replace. My ideal outcome would have been another Hopper type, but in all seriousness we're not going to get someone who is as effective in so many areas as Tom to come and sit on the bench.
Hopefully this season we'll have the luck with injuries that's eluded us for the past few seasons, and given the options we've got we'll have a genuine plan B (lumping it up to Garrick, Diamond et al is unlikely to work)
As for Anthony, he's been an excellent player for us, and he'll be missed. This is proof of the model in action though, and as long as its a) a decent fee that we get paid before Wigan go bust again, and b) we stay in this league (which I have no reason to doubt at this point), it'll be the right decision.
Hopefully...That's the model though isn't it? Get a player on the cheap, develop them, make a profit when they move on.
Been a fantastic player for us, but hopefully the next one is on the production line.

Also with all due respect, I do love Hopper for his attitude and character but he is very limited football player. He is not scoring goals and he is our main striker now. With no sensible back up on top of that. That doesn't encourage me ...
