Guest User	He can't be that bad, keep him on trial longer and then give him a contract maybe... Doesn't mean that much, but  some recent statistics worth noting. 2010-11 played 35 games, 11 clean sheets and Chesterfield got promoted to league 1. 2011-12  played 23 games, 6 clean sheets, won FL Trophy (he hit the crossbar, then lester scored the rebound in that game but disallowed) Chesterfield relegated back to league 2.

Anybody is potentially good, but we want actually good. It's only fair to give him a chance and reserve judgement I guess, but just as much as he's potentially class, he's also potentially crap. Just like he used to be. 'crap like he used to be' that was 8 years ago FFS. he's played 200 odd games in the SPL and football league since then.Players and people can develop in a few years. yeah he might be crap, he might be good, but thats why i used the word 'potentially'.

Look at the scenes behind the goal! Look at the relief! The agony is finally over!!!" John Tondeur - Wembley Stadium Sunday 15th May 2016

You said he was 'potentially class', and ok, he is if you like. I'm just pointing out that he is 'potentially' not class, but, in fact, as poor as he was when he was with us before. I'm just going on what I saw when he played for us, and he used to make me irate. I'd rather we signed someone else on that basis. He may well now be brilliant (although his L2 team don't reckon he's good enough). He may also potentially be a world-class juggler, cocktail maker and f@cking quantity surveyor.

Ford has played a lot of games at a much higher level than Garner ever will (in my opinion) and he's not even that old. Feels like sometimes people are TOO obsessed with having players from the lower leagues to graft our way out. It doesn't hurt to have a bit of league class too. If signed, and he gets up to a decent fitness level quickly, I imagine he'll probably become first choice alongside Miller, with Pearson pushing them for  place. Not that i think Pearson has done anything wrong, but that's the kind of predicament we want to have.

Unless he has fitness or injury problems that will not be easily put right, I hope we sign him up quickly. Simon Ford could turn out to be the final piece in a promotion jigsaw.

Personally I hope this works out, IMO, unless there are any injury problems, Ford would be an excellent signing! UTM 1878

He was only young when he was last here and did a decent enough job in the second tier to get interest from other clubs. He's got years of experience under his belt now.
