Tom Cannon F Sheffield Utd b.2002

The gist of it with Cannon is that he's no good out wide and he can struggle as a lone striker. However as a second striker alongside someone else he's very effective. Which actually potentially suits how we set up. Realistically he's maybe not competing with Parrott and Ferguson to be our number 9, he's competing with Ogbene and Armstrong, among others, to partner one of them.

Of course, you could also just start both of Parrott and Ferguson, but I like the idea of holding Ferguson in reserve to bring on in the second half.

Had a great game today, winning most of the duels and very unlucky not to score. He's very Parrot-like and I think a move to continent would do him wonders

He is very settled in the middle of England though, it's not a coincidence that all his clubs have been in the english midlands and north, he has chosen moves specifically based on geography at times. I think he'll have a really good career in the Championship and will be a solid long term squad option for us.

Interesting..do you think he's peaking in the championship then? I was hopeful he had another level or two that he might reach

You'd never know. He's a year younger than Parrott but he just hasn't kicked on yet the way Troy has. If I was guessing now I'd say Championship stalwart with a season or two at some point in the EPL via a promotion, but I could be wrong.
