Quite an enlightening thread that, as is the Matt Dean interview with JMD linked within (and below for reference). Reading between the lines, he was one of their marquee signings in the summer as Woking significantly upped their budget. Started off well, got injured and then couldn’t get back in after their incomprehensibly Geordie manager decided he didn’t want to play anyone under the height of 6ft 9”. I was initially sceptical, but I think this could actually be a very smart piece of business on our part. Interview: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p0b6zv6b
Was going to say, he doesn't seem their type of player at all. Woking always seem to play big bruiser types and not sure where he fits in with all that. Doesn't seem logical that he left then signed for GTFC but who knows what his contract was with them, we saw how weird contracts can get with the Hereford saga.

For a left-sided player, he looks to have a pretty good shot with his right foot and he's scored a few with it in those highlights. That's always helpful as it keeps the defenders guessing rather than trying to stop you turning inside (if he's playing from the right), all the time.
I didn't realise we were looking for a longer-term signing, thought it would just be until the end of the season, so Hurst obviously thinks he's got potential for us.
I believe he is a right sided player and part of his issue was being made to play on the left

Left footed, right sided. Unusual mix, but looks decent with both feet to be fair.

Left-sided, I was talking about him being left-footed. Whichever side of the pitch he plays on, that remains the same. Wouldn't normally point out an attacking player could hit a shot decently well with their stronger foot, but perhaps I need to following what we've seen in recent seasons!

Woking fans not happy, at all - https://www.cardsboard.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=11302It’s a strange squad looking at it through Hurst’s previous spell here. He used to build teams of hard working, gritty players that just lacked a bit of quality. We now seem to have a squad blessed with some very good technical players, but lack maybe the work rate in some cases and the ability or willingness to really dig in and grind results out. I like the look of him & I’m looking forward to seeing him play, especially with the likes of McAtee, Taylor, Hunt & Bell.
McAtee, Taylor , Hunt & Bell are actually the lawyers who oversee GTFC's contracts and other legal business.

I thought lawyers came in threes like surveyors.

Think this is a good signing, just wondering where it leaves Joel Grant and Sean Scannell. Also what about Bapaga who has been very good when selected, can see him gone come January……

Joel Grant and Sean Scannell have been injured all season long. It's up to them to fight their way into the reckoning. We can't rely on them, Scannell in particular who seems to be betrayed by his body whenever he's close to a return. Feel for him, but both are over 30 and it happens or we'd all play forever.
