So based on last night, for those who went, would you offer him a contract?

I think Hurst will play him against Oldham, see how he fares and then decide if he is worth keeping on or not

He is only asking for views. If this is a pointless thread then we might as well all shut up. It got your attention and input for what it was worth. I,m interested to know the views of other Fishy members I thought that this was the whole point of the Fishy.

Hard to make a definitive decision based on 45 mins of football. It depends who else is available, but judging from Hurst's slow progress in this area, clearly there aren't many strikers about. Looked good though.

He could potentially be very useful once he is match fit.

He held the ball up well, which allowed the midfield to join in with the attack, he linked up with his support players well. He won a lot in the air and would have had a goal but for a good save from the keeper.

It's no coincidence that we didn't seem to create an awful lot in the Gainsborough half once Vernon went off as the ball wouldn't really stick.

I don't know if this bloke's any good or not but I do know pace alone isn't enough. You need a link player with a football brain to bring your pacy players into the game. Even Michael Reddy needed a Lump.

Wasn't there last night so can't judge. But surely to assess a player, we need to see them play at our level or slightly above.  It's not a pop, because as I said I wasn't there. But surely you can't expect the club to offer a contact based on 45 mins against against Gainsborough !!


The wife was going away for a girly weekend.
I jokingly remarked  'I don't know whether to spend it watching porn or watching football'
'you may as well spend it watching porn' she replied
That's understanding darling what makes you say that? I asked

She said 'Well you already know how to play football'

I personally think this would be a great signing for the likes of Jackson and Bogle to play off. He has experience of playing at a higher level with physical presence. He isn't going to score you 20 goals a season but he will help others in the team get into forward positions with his hold up play. Reminds me of Gary Jones and look how Reddy improved playing off him.

I think sometimes we get hung up too much about having a ’30 goal a season striker’. I remember in Buckley’s first 2 promotion season’s, the maximum a striker scored was 14 but we had players all over the pitch who contributed because of the likes of Livvo, Neil Woods and Tony Ree’s would hold up play to allow the likes of Child’s, Gilbert, Groves, Cunnington etc to get into forward positions.

And let’s be honest, if you find a striker who for most of his career has scored 20 goals a season plus, he isn’t likely to be playing in League 2 is he?

Seems a useful player puts himself around a bit, wins headers or at least he did against last nights opposition, early days yet to say due to him having only forty five minutes, probably not match fit yet or why would we not give him the full ninety minutes?
Team looked better first half with him in the team, second half was a shambles.
