Good luck Lenny!  thanks for the 100% effort you put in in every game.

Those saying how he got slated all season are wrong imo. This season he's been generally well supported by all, in fact he's become something of a cult hero. He got stick before and I guess when you're missing chances regularly you should probably expect that's going to happen.

But this season, through hard work and vast improvement he's been one of our best players. He comes across as a decent bloke and I won't begrudge him of his move. That said I still believe we'll be fine without him and the step up could be a step too far for him imo.

Gutted, really rated him for his all round play and hard work. After not finding a hairs on back of neck striker last close season, whats the chances of Hurst finding one this tiime?  

First name that Hurst put on the team sheet , I was never a fan of Lenny , that's just bring honest.  Tried hard , missed numerous chances,  gave his all , but !     Good luck to him . He's  cost Newport nothing , if it fails they transfer him at the end of the season . A win win for them .

Mr Hurst  has to work to build a team , now that 2 of his main spine have gone .

Which two?

Biggest surprise for me is that Newport signed Lenny and released Aaron O'Connor who I thought was technically a better player.  

Does anyone know if O'Connor had an injury? or does he maybe not fit in with Terry Butchers style of play?

If not, I'd be more than happy if we could get O'Connor coming in the other way

We will miss the shops stamina, work rate and his huge physical presence very useful at this level. He certainly made plenty of assists with is flick ons etc.

A awkward sod to mark he did an excellent job, just a pity his finishing and close control often let him down wiish him all the luck in the world. He often led the line on his own good luck Lenny.












  

Liked Lenny gave 100%+ every time and got us off to a cracking start at Wembley - pity we didn't get a second
For work rate hard to beat

Certainly one of the most frustrating strikers we've had in recent years.

At times he's almost unplayable, big, strong, holds the ball up well and scores great goals but on another occasions he can be totally ineffective and miss chances that your Gran could score. Split the views of fans at first, but does seem to have won over the majority this season with his goals and workrate, although he had at least as many decent chances to score as he did score this season.

We've always said that if he was a better finisher then he wouldn't be playing at our level, so now he's going to have a chance to prove that he can.

We've seen how JLAA, who was similarly derided in his early time here has gone on to have reasonable success after leaving.

The Shop leaves with my best wishes and I'll be following his progress with interest next season.
