Quoted from rancido


Do you blame him! He wants to be a footballer and that doesn't fit in with Slade's game plans.


I've always thought it strange how Tom never got near the first team again after he was subbed against Wycombe ( when to be fair Slade was forced in to shuffling the pack after Collins' red card )

He featured a couple of times in the Cheeky-Tw@t fixures but not in the league, yet following that substitution ( where by no means was he responsible for us being behind in that Wycombe match )  he was just totally dropped from the league squad, which also came on the back of him having a really good game against Derby

I'm speculating of course but I wonder if he and Slade had words and our manager decided to show him who's boss.... cut his nose of to spite his face though if that's the case because imho Tom could have been used effectively as an impact sub on many occasions this season when we've been going nowhere in games

Seems likely we won't see him feature for us again which is a pity... we all know he wasn't going to be a lynchpin for us, but he offered something different and something effective when called upon

Our loss, Sutton's gain if you ask me....

Perhaps he just wanted regular football and knew he wasn't going to get it here?

Sounds the most likely situation to me.

Slade just obviously didn't fancy him as a player. The fact that he thought Kelly was worth a 2 year deal indicates his judgement about wingers is a bit hit and miss!

Good luck Tom...I'm sure it will work out better for you at Sutton than it has done here

came from non league after 8 years in the wilderness of isthmian league and thai football, and returned to non league (at 28 years of age) after 2 years of bench warming under 3 different managers. that basically tells you all need to know

but also quite telling that the vast majority of supporters would rather that glorious career record be kept in place of Kelly/Woolford who have played plenty of league games in higher divisions than we are now

He's not the worse player in the squad but we could do a lot better. At least it frees up a bit of money to chance our arm elsewhere. Another Dembele is out there somewhere.

I did a scouting trip at New Year to the Nike place to see if there was any further potential, i identified an athletic looking lad as having the potential to be a decent prospect, when i approached him to see if he would be interested in turning pro he called security and i was escorted off the premises.
By the time the police arrived i had realised i was at a Nike Outlet not the Nike Academy , a quick apology and a contribution to the Chief Supers charity fund later i was on my way.
