It's Jolley

If Boyce and Rodman were still here it could be a Jolly boys outing !

Don't forget Dave  

'WEMBLEY hero Christian Jolley is set to leave Newport County AFC in the next 24 hours as he follows fellow striker Danny Crow out of the door at Rodney Parade'

Hurst doesn't usually hint at potential signings unless they are very close to signing.

Some people are massively jumping the gun. Let's face it - we have a poor record when it comes to making key signings of forwards, and I think we should prepare ourselves for the fact that he may well not sign for us. The way some are going on you'd think he was set for his debut tomorrow (or not!).

All in good time.....

I would suggest a wide player will be leaving not a striker . Jolly will play around JLJ and ANO ...................................

Neilson looks likely, or Arnold not beyond the realms of possibility either (not sure of the terms of his loan agreement).
Both have qualities but negatives too. You're right, we can't carry three left wingers.

Is Jolley better than either or both of those two?

Despite all the media surrounding Jolley im still noy convinced as PH stated this player was surprised to be made available and Jolley was transfer listed on 2nd Jan.  And James Marwood could be a possibility but didn't he go to Hibs at the end of last season.

James Marwood mutually agreed to terminate his contract today i believe.

I only know what I've seen. He is much quicker than Neilson, probably quicker than Arnold. Defensively, he gives the same as the current lads (i.e. very little) and seemed at home playing wide of a front three. I wouldn't think he'd be ideal in 4-4-2 especially with Azza behind him (or probably in front of him!).

He seemed composed, tricky and direct, for me he was the main difference over the two legs in the play off semi.

I would be sorry to see Scott Neilson leave, he has so much quality but isn't blessed with pace. He bulked up about 18 months ago, not sure if it's just added muscle and although it's helped his strength on the ball I'm not sure if it's cost him another yard he couldn't afford to lose. Am I being ultra critical with Scott? Maybe but I do sometimes think he could be fitter, he rarely gets through 90 mins.

Arnold, main problem with him is which Nathan Arnold turns up and he's struggled with injury here. He can be a match winner, is quick but sometimes his decision making is poor. That said, reading the Newport forum, they seem to think Jolley isn't so consistent but they seem to love him there.

Agree with this.

Currently he is the one player in the squad that can get me on the edge of my seat BUT I am not convinced about his fitness. He has the 'cheeky chappy' attitude but i wonder if he would be better if he really put everything into getting himself into tip top condition. Then his ability might really shine through.
