It’s a low risk move really isn’t it. Doubt he’ll be on much, but he provides another option up top. Still can’t believe some people didn’t rate him. If you want to see why he was so good for us, watch the second leg of the Eastleigh play offs. It was Palmer scoring the goals but LJL creating them with his hold up play. Plus he scored a decent amount too.

Obviously a few years ago, but only 31 so might still be able to help.

Our current options are two lads who were at Folkestone Invicta and Halesowen Town (step 7) last season. LJL has scored 9 in 10 a level above, and has spent his entire career in divisions above that. So I’d say he’s an improvement on what we’ve got.

A few years ago, pre knee injury AND in the conference.

Let me ask a question, if he hadn't played for us previously and you just read his CV, would you be happy with this?

Does Hurst only sign ex-players?

We seem to be scraping the bottom of the barrel. I doubt this signing or any of them so far will be good enough to save the team this year. LJL is a very limited player who is past his prime.

Maybe that is what Hurst is doing, building a team for the national league next year.

Hope I'm wrong.

Perm any 2 from LJL, Payne & Hanson is the idea. At any given time there could be 2 out of 3 match fit.

Really not convinced on this signing, seems like nostalgia taking the lead instead of any real common sense.


or he's signing someone who gives AFF (well i hope he does lol)

He will allow us to spend more time in the opposition half. He’s a right flipping nuisance and if he’s anything like the player we had he will be a massive asset.

At the very least he’ll relieve a bit of pressure on our own defensive line and reduce the number of times the opposition comes at our defence.


Up The Mariners!
