How many starts has he had for us? Any?
If this is to be believed (and if I can count!), he's played 16 games total for us so far?! 14 from the bench, and the 2 starts others mentioned (substituted off after 32 and 57 minutes). http://soccernet.espn.go.com/players/gamelog?id=13739&cc=573916 partial games for us and no goals? Honestly didn't realise it was that many!  |

Give Pericard a good pre season with lots of fitness work and I think he'll be a different player.

A lot of posters thought Paynter would not surive when Cox left last season, and couldn't see where the goals were going to come from. We ended up with one of the most lethal strike forces in the division.
In the glimpses I seen of him he looks a good enough player, just needs that first goal, bigger worry is keeping him fit.

Having taken a look at that link you're right. 10-15 mins average. That's it, feel sorry for the lad - so he's now my avatar!  |

I think he'll come good. Austin could work well of him I'd imagine (hope!)

A bit rubbish and injury prone - Id say we need to sign a striker - Cox on loan?

Cautiously optimistic. People have obviously seen something in the lad to have been signed by the clubs he has over his career, hopefully DW will be able to bring the best out of him.

I'll be honest. I'd be disappointed if he is our first choice striker next season.
He has had, the odd impact here and there (Gillingham, Norwich, Charlton) but has had just as many forgettable games. He seemed to play for 10 minutes and miss the next two games.
He was woeful at Franchise. Truely woeful.

16 partial games for us and no goals? Honestly didn't realise it was that many! Pericard has played 321 minutes in total. Austin has gone longer (358 minutes) without scoring for us. |

Nice stat work!  When you put it like that, it doesn't sound so bad. There were several times Billy didn't score in 3 or 4 games for us this season, and he finished 2nd top scorer! :-) |

I recall the off off off chants from the Town "fans" when the ref was giving him a talking to at Franchise. Can't get any worse than that can it ! |

The whole point with Vinny is that he has been completely written off way too early by some Town fans, and it fucks me off. OK it's probably mainly comments on thisis & it serves me right for reading them, but a section of our support seemingly cannot wait to get stuck in to certain players. They must lead such utterly miserable lives that they have all this anger pent up - I just wish they would stay away from Town games.
Vinny's had the problem of breaking up a lethal partnership, he's been injury prone, he changed clubs mid-season, he only got 10 mins here & there - anyone who writes someone off already in these circumstances knows nothing about the game. His showing at MK was slightly worrying but how many players hit the ground running in their 1st start? He's shown enough glimpses for me to be optimistic, plus I have a lot of faith in what DW has to say, ie - "We've seen nothing yet......loads more to come......" etc
