Scott Quigley - Explain 17:12 - Jan 2 with 12139 viewsBoss_Hog

I don't get to see many matches live, but I've taken in Doncaster and Barrow in recent days.

Can somebody explain what Scott Quigley offers our team and quite how he's managed 180+ minutes in these fixtures?

For me, his workrate is appalling, he fails to hold the ball up and offer any of the attributes of the proverbial target man. He gives the ball away continously and is forever arguing with the referee and throwing his arms out. Perhaps if he wasn't so inept, he'd challenge for headers infront of his marker and stop fouling him.

Calvin hasn't played for us for a few years, but I'd rather have him upfront now than Quigley.

When he joined us, we were not exactly flying high, so he knew he would be involved in a relegation fight. All strikers are to some extent confidence players, if he gets a goal on Saturday for example, he may be transformed into the striker we saw in the beginning of his loan

However it takes two things to happen, one for Quigley to make the effort to get into the box to meet the crosses and crucially for the players to get the ball quickly into the box, rather then passing the ball around the box until they lose it. I also think Quigley needs another striker like Hendo to help create the space for him to get a shot on target. At the moment is he operating like a lone striker, which may not suit him.

Agree with him needing players, and pace, around him.

Campbell is visibly involved in the training video released today... I really hope that's a good sign for Sat - I can see Quigleyb& Campbell linking up really well.

Without knowing details of current injury status, it's not fair to judge, but took my g/fs dad to last home game. He trained with the Leeds team of the 70s, but never broke into the first X1. Instead followed a non-playing career to support his family, but coached and managed at amateur level. He took one look at SQ and asked what he was doing on the pitch, correctly observing that he very rarely troubles opponents back 4s. He contrasted him to Bees, who he's also seen @ the COA, who constantly harried, ran off the back shoulder of a marker and generally gave defenders fits. Can't fault his analysis and it's what I've thought since he came back from injury. If SQ is fully fit (and it's a big if), he doesn't belong here.

Fairly sure Blackpool would be happy to give us back Bees... done little there apparently.

He's started catching lately, started both games between Xmas and New Year and come off the bench in the game since. Non-starter.

Tangled up in blue.

What a weird reaction from Quigley tonight.

Stormed off to the dressing room straight away at full time, whilst the rest of the team came over to the away end.

If he's "heading" that way, he might just miss it altogether and end up in Glossop

I'd be keen to find out what the issue is with Quigley. I've usually no time for petulance, but he is a capable player, as seen with my own eyes. He has single handedly impacted on two games (Carlisle and Barrow) and could be a real asset in our survival bid if his frame of mind is put right.

He hasn't looked right since the needless injury he picked up against Salford, but there is clearly another issue here too.

It needs to be sorted.

Seen a video of the player celebrations last night. Indeed Quigley gives a half hearted clap to the fans then strolls off on his own to the changing rooms while the other players and staff are enjoying celebrating the massive win, lots of hugs and fist pumps. If Quigley doesn't want to be here then he needs to get gone quick - in our predicament we don't need that sort of attitude.

Has he struggled to find form after injury at previous clubs? How has his attitude been after coming back from injury or being dropped? Does he feel he should have been given more recovery time or perhaps even less? Is he annoyed with EBJ bringing him on in the game he got injured in?

As would I. I also agree with all of the above and on paper, he and Hendo should be a dream partnership. The question for me, is how long should we keep paying him to find out what's wrong? Also, based on the last two outings, Rodney offers far more at present. He scored and hit the post in those matches. Quigley looks like the only thing he's going to be hitting is the sack.

Fans criticised EBJ for bringing him on during the EFL trophy match against Salford. SQ may have not had a problem coming on as a sub but questioned if it was such a good idea after getting injured. If he is still carrying a knock will he be able to carry out his employer's instructions to the best of his ability?

If Quigley and Henderson were to be a productive partnership, it would require Quigley to be a much bigger problem for defences than he is. He rarely wins a header from a ball out of our defence , nor does he cause many problems from set pieces, he doesn't have any real pace, quick feet or a thunderous shot. That he spent a lot of his time against Barrow 35 yards from goal trying to avoid their centre backs and watching his own defence says something about his experience at this level.
He has to get on the centre backs shoulders on the half turn and be ready for a charge into the penalty area, especially with Lloyd playing wide and crosses coming in from White. Rodney is a more natural front man but without the physical attributes, like Quigley he doesnt win headers, but he has some pace and occasionally hits a decent shot, certainly he keeps the ball better, would Quigley have won last nights penalty? Probably not

I'd be inclined to believe JB knows exactly what's going on regarding his injury and if he's "fit" enough, he will then make a call when/if to utilise SQ.

If he's not keen on what he's being asked to do by his employer, considering it's a "reasonable" request I'd say he'd be better off fooking off back to Stockport and let them pay his wages instead, if he's willing to pull his weight and graft then great.... the tail can't be allowed to wag the dog.
