On the subject of Pericard, his stats must be approaching Shaun Close levels.
Shaun for the uninitiated was nominally a striker who made 40+ appearances for 1 league goal..inevitably scored v O*ford.
Ardiles liked Shaun because he had decent touch and brought others into play....nevertheless if you're up front you must score some goals.
I've a mate who played a decent standard of non-league football, who was convinced Shaun was a better bet than Steve White in terms of team play...I thought otherwise, which made for a decent pub argument.
The crowd never really got on Shaun's case, there was more of a feeling, that if he got one he'd be up and running....eventually he scored on a memorable LC night v Darlo.....but it made bugger all difference. Fact was Shaun was a bit crap and I suspect Vince is too.
Team was doing well then....its when the team are losing that the crap players bare the brunt.
As for Pericard its time for the management to tell him what they want...a striker who along with Austin will score the goals we need...or a player just to meddle along not quite knowing what position he is playing....he drops to deep to hurt the opposition in my opinion.
