So in that context, Livvo wasn't a true striker from his goals ratio, but scared the hell out of many centre halves !

Like wise - Tony Rees and his clever 1-2's to allow forwards to be free to score.

We now have several players who have an ability to score, but agree that we need a focal point who can give us 20+ from somewhere in the team.

I think the whole ticks and crosses thing is just childish,

I feel a lot better since I turned mine off so I have no idea what posters do to me or anybody else,

So the red cross brigade can fire away all they like, I can not see it so I do not give a toss.

It would be a lot better if posters replied and say I agree with your post because ?????

OR

I disagree with your post because ?????????

Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

I've stayed away from the Fishy because of this sort of post.....freedom of speech yes agree and all that. Vernon gave as much much as any other player last season - I'd imagine any of our squad would trust him. UTM


Really? he only started 16 games and until the last few of the season was pretty anonymous in the rest.

IMHO I wouldn't have any of those named as my first choice.

Scott Vernon is one of the most intelligent Strikers at this level. Whilst he wont bag you 20 a season, he will occupy the defenders in the build up to allow another player to score the goal. His link up play to bring others into the game is very good aswell, very strong on the ball and I believe he will be Russ's lump. Roll on next season!

I think Vernon struggled in some of the earlier games in the season that I saw due to a relative lack of pre-season. He's a big guy and he's a bit older and without a full pre-season I don't think we were getting the best out of him. The game at Wycombe springs to mind where he was easily contained by their centre backs. Having said that, he showed later in the season that he can be a good focal point and springboard for attacks provided he has the right mix of players to benefit from him being there. I think with a full pre-season and hopefully an increased fitness across the squad with the sports science as well as more pace in wide and attacking areas that he might be a useful part of the squad and a decent plan B. I don't think I'd have him as a starting player too often because he isn't the same class as Lump was but if we got a striker in as good as Lump I'd be over the moon.

I'm pretty sure I saw Scott Vernon at the armed forces today in Cleethorpes, he'll give us a few more options next season if we do get Maynard or Tyler, slade will have his work cut out.

Lump and Vernon are miles apart in class, even though we're at the same level. Lump pretty much was the complete forward at this level, Ready gets so much praise  (mostly deservidly) but we were amazingly lucky to bag G.Jones for a couple of seasons.

Vernon will do fine as a squad player, different option from the bench.

I'm not sure Summerfield was any worse than some of those Midfielders Bignot brought in though.



That implies several and I'd be curious to know which of those midfielders you are alluding to.
