A player of great ability but tracking back, or tracking back enough is not in his DNA and he seems to lack the natural fitness to do it. With our extensive checks to ensure the right fit you would have thought it would have been noticed.

Shame he has gone but on to the next one of many wide creative players who never seem to last long.

I agree. He's just not a natural athlete. Some, like Clifton, can run all day, most players can be trained up to a level where they can run enough but there will inevitably be some who aren't physically capable of doing enough running. Good for him that he's got a great deal of skill and an eye for goal, as he'll still have a decent career.

Must be an agent’s stream, the bloke’s a walking highlight reel. Would be a travesty if his record at GTFC was reduced to just that winner in the PO final considering his contribution after he joined.

Very healthy 1 in 4 strike rate and must have a good few assists to his name too, but he's only managed one full season at any league 2 club he's played for, so clearly non league is where he excels.

Good luck to him. I enjoyed his brief appearances and he almost always created something whenever he got the chance.

Yeah lack of pace that's going to be even more exposed at this level where more teams are more pushed forward against us. Lack of fitness and less willingness to track back against teams attacking us. He just isn't suited to league 2 football and it can't surprise anyone he has moved on.
BUT he was great for us in NL, has real ability and an eye for goal, did the job he was recruited to do in 6 months instead of 18.
Thanks Jordan,  that playoff final game will always be his highlight but he had made a real contribution plenty of times before that.
I thought he might get more of a look in this season than he has mind.

Don’t shoot the messenger, heard Ashley Nadesan is being offered around and that Town are one of a few interested 👍

Seems a Hurst sort of player, willing runner and had a good spell at Carlisle a few years back. Spoke to a fellow Carlisle fan I know well and he said that for what Nadesan lacks in quality he makes up for in work effort. Not a bad size either at 6'2. Wouldn't mind it at all.

Be happy with that. Always liked him, he's a good player at this level.

Came off injured in their last game though. Is something going on at Crawley? They're selling Tom Nichols as well who I thought we might be in for.

Paying a premium to Dom Telford so a bit of balancing the books I imagine as they aren’t tearing the league up as they thought they might, especially with the owner being involved in Crypto.
