Albert Adomah - Released

[olaftab]

I thought that goal against Leeds when he took on their entire defence with the run from half way line before rounding the keeper and slotting it home was a bit special.

Scored the equaliser at Stoke, so could claim to have started the ridiculous run of form that eventually saw us promoted.

You're right Damo, doubt if he could do much in the top flight, but more than able at Championship level. Lots of luck to him.

This was the reason we got him in the first place as Boro went up and didn't then he'd be up for the Prem then.

[Steve67]

Average, can't be bothered half the time, especially if he really needs to dig in.  Forest, you're welcome.  One good season. Getting rid, absolutely the right thing to do.

[cdbearsfan]

I never got the impression that he couldn't be bothered. And he had more than one good season. Think that post is nonsense tbh.

Wonder if the new manager will play him, feels very much like a MON signing to me. Did I read Hutton has also gone there?

[cdbearsfan]

He seemed to be about to sign but speculation has dried up a bit. Probably because O'Neill has gone since, I hadn't thought of that till you mentioned him.

There was also one rumour that TSC might end up at Baggies. I sincerely fucking hope not.

That's fine.  All about opinions.  I thought, even in a promotion winning season, he was next to anonymous.  He went on a great scoring run in his first season and then went nearly 12 months without scoring.  I honestly got a sense with him that he could have tried an awful lot harder.

His goal scoring run basically got us in the playoffs when we didn’t have any goal scoring strikers.

And agree that he never once looked like he wasn’t putting a shift in, his legs just started to go.

Maybe so.  His legs going, that is.   The scoring thing, didn't he have something like 14 before Christmas and then scored only once after Christmas? Memory not what it was!

[PeterWithesShin]

Overall he was good for us, and there was that cracking spell in the second season. But to me that's what he is, a good second division player that will have the odd high or low spell. I never got the impression he wasn't trying, but I did feel that his abilities were on the wane last season.

[cdbearsfan]

He definitely scored fewer goals when we had Grabban and then Abraham.

He seemed to score most of his goals when playing alongside Kodjia. I guess certain players' styles just suit each other.

It's possible he was discouraged from getting forward so often once Grealish was playing, too. Grealish was missing for most of his first half-season, from memory.

I may have got all of the above mixed up. I usually do.

You're right about his partnership with Jimmy.  They seemed to bring the best out in each other, at least in that season.  I had forgotten about that!   I guess not long afterwards, Jimmy got that ankle knock and doesn't seem the same since.  Adomah's legs definitely started going.

The last minute goal at Hillsborough will live long in the memory. Thanks Albert.

[PeterWithesShin]

I think Davis was playing most games when Albert had that crazy run, Kod played in some of them as well.
