Hmmm can remember a fair few missed chances too! Yes he did ok for us, not brilliantly, but just ok. Is he good enough to play in the Championship now? I 'm not sure.

Wow, are you saying he didn't have a 100% conversion rate. That's unusual.

Just like you in fact.

We have had a lot worse players. He was a quite capable squad player but wanted to play for he boyhood heroes.
It was a really bad injury and hopefully he will smash it at Burton and get back in the Rangers team.

I liked Murphy, always put in a shift and contributed towards our promotion push. Good luck to the bloke, hope he finds fitness and form.

Think unless he’s totally crocked Burton will have a League One gem on their hands.
Good luck to him. Not in stature but he’s the player who’s most reminded me of Paul Brooker in playing style, glides across the turf and seems to leave players for dead with ease.

In recent years, he is probably the best, calmest finisher of a one on one situation, that we've had.
(A real shame that he missed exactly that kind of opportunity, to write himself in Albion lore, at 0-0 at home to City, in our very first PL match)

Shame then that he didn't get himself into that situation more often!!!

Indeed. I can't say that l remember Jamie as being a particular calm finisher at all, and if anything think that he lacked a little bit of confidence, and it was probably that amongst other things that led to him missing a fair few one on one chances.
As l posted previously, to me he is a good palyer, but certainly not a great one.

To be fair, he was definitely a good finisher and if you watch any highlight reels of his best parts for us, most of them will be him scoring goals. I never believed he was a top end Championship player, though. I thought he was a fairly ordinary player at Championship level but would be good in League 1 or the Scottish Premier League. He just lacked the consistency in my opinion, one game he'd be outstanding but the next he'd be almost entirely useless.
19 seconds into this video, is a good example.
Great night that was, as it goes.

Yep remember it well, good to see Little Sam scoring against his former employers too.

Pretty much agree with that. Thought he was a skilful player but didn't quite get the best out of his skills and a bit lightweight.

The way John Lewis, Waitrose & Tinpot are doing lately, Sam Baldock is better off out of there.
