Can't understand why eldings agent told him to turn down a 2 year contract ? Oh yeah they weren't paying any of their players and were staring bankruptcy in the face . Silly me .

Quoted from 1mickylyons
In my opinion the 3 Town strikers are the best weve had for ages.Last season we just had Connell and before that Conlon and the hardworking but goal shy Akpro and you would probably have to go back to Sladehead and Jones/Reddy/Parky to find 3 strikers who could all find the net?


Lol. By find the net i take it you mean it literally as opposed to actually putting the ball in it every now and then.
As much as i like Parky and appreciated his constant efforts he had a pretty poor record in front of goal.

You need players like Elding, he knows where the net is and I wouldn't want him to leave already but you can't argue against Hearn and Duffy being our front two. They're the two that work best together.

Like others, I do find it strange that someone would tell you all of this though.

saw him at the ground today with a bloke in a very smart suit i said hello anthony, he reply yes very good thank you and shook my hand nice man..he then give a hand shake to the man in the suit and off he went....so i spoke to the bloke witch happened to be his agent..he said hes had a few phone calls for anthony from league 2 an blue square teams regarding his availability, as anthony isnt happy at sitting on the bench and being the back up. fair point. obviously wants to play football. he then said anthony was in league 1 last season had this year left on his contract but decided he wanted to try and play most weeks an that anthony was desperate to join town, but on the other hand is disapointed that he turned a 2 year contract down at plymouth to be sat on the bench in blue squre...his agent was a good guy we had a chat for about 20-25 mins..

maybe he could be on his way in jan? hope not as im a fan of elding and think he as done all he can in the time hes been on the pitch i think given reg football he would get us 20+ this season..


Not sure about this Elding guy. Say hello to him and he says he's great and shakes your hand?! A hello back would probably suffice for me.

I'm a big fan of Elding, when i'm not booing him.

I don't think Duffy is very good, average at best in his role of target man. I wouldn't complain seeing him leave n being replaced. Elding is a clever player but needs the ball into his feet or the gaps between defenders, I would much prefare us to play the ball into feet but lately it's been aimed at Duffy. Perhaps both are going to be replaced in the summer!

To be honest this reaction was on the cards especially when the muppets weve got in charge change a winning side (after beating Alfreton) I cant understand why we persist with Duffy when everyone else around him are scoring.
This just proves how naive we are at this level when it would have served us better getting a manager that either managed at this level or even above but that common sense but at GTFC we never use that

Paranoia is a thought process believed to be heavily influenced by anxiety or fear, often to the point of irrationality and delusion.

Your right about Duffy not scoring but has anyone got an assists list? I would like to bet that Duffy is top.

i'm still trying to fathom why we signed (or wasted so much money!) on elding. i can only think that he is a very expensive insuirance policy in case hearn din't work out/didn't score/got injured/ got jailed( ) it seems blindingly obvious that hearn and elding doesn't work so it has to be either duffy or spencer paired with either elding or hearn. furthermore as someone else pointed out elding looks like the sort of player who needs a ball to feet and we really aren't good enought o do that

I doubt you'll find a great deal better in this league.
Can't you see he's provided a lot of assists + chipped in with a few goals too ?
He's a better player than he was last year(due to a full pre-season) and has a touch of quality.
Take him out the team I think you'll find we end up creating a lot less chances (like vs Luton)
