Quoted from RichMariner
After looking fairly average in the National League, Alex Rodman is now doing well at a League 1 club gunning for promotion to the Championship.

I've always believed that 50% of players in L1 & L2 are much of a muchness, and the way you sign the best is by bringing out the best in them.

Until Podge signed for us, no one had been able to get 20+ goals out of him in a season, let alone 30.

I haven't been to many matches this season so my judgment on Sam Jones is based on what I saw last season (and in the handful of games I've seen this season):

He's definitely good enough to prosper in League 2. Players don't turn crap overnight. Reading between the lines, he probably isn't enjoying playing in this Slade team because it doesn't suit his strengths.

He's stopped scoring, he's not getting the same amount of chances, he's lost confidence and therefore lost form.

We need to get him back on it, and I wish we had a manager and a coaching set-up that was able to work with players when they lose form rather than take the easy decision to get rid and bring in someone else, because the cycle will only get repeated.

Albeit Kyle Wootton is currently injured, I wouldn't be adverse to a deal that brought him this way.

Jones is by far the best striker we have why the feck Slade as not recalled Asante he was signed as being the next Omar Bogle but I think I have only seen him play one game and even though he is fit Slade doesn't look in a hurry to bring him back.

Ironic then that neither wants to come back whilst Slade is here seemingly.

Asante looked decent in his debut for us and scored. He looked no worse than Hooper has and has had far less games to impress, who knows what the criteria is for a striker to make it onto Slades team sheet.

He has to be able to defend corners I do believe  


The wife was going away for a girly weekend.
I jokingly remarked  'I don't know whether to spend it watching porn or watching football'
'you may as well spend it watching porn' she replied
That's understanding darling what makes you say that? I asked

She said 'Well you already know how to play football'
