Quoted from Nelly GTFC
I'll probally be in the minority here, but I'm glad he's gone. I'm just going by the home games, but since that penalty miss against Crawley, he's been practically useless, never been the same player again. Makes you wonder if he was tapped up, or his agent gave him knowledge making him lose interest.  No doubt he's got ability, wouldn't be surprised if he pushes on and moves up another tier.


Yeah, fair point, but that's where good management should come into play. He was clearly our best player; wouldn't have gone to the top end of league 1 otherwise.

Maybe in time, the players we have now will come good and it won't matter, but he's still our top scorer, without playing at all for weeks and without playing to his full potential for months. Just hope the ones we have now make it irrelevant, but it's not looking good is it?

Who isn't likely to play again?


Don't shoot the messenger but I heard a whisper on Saturday that keeper Jake Keen is not likely to play again.

Nothing to do with injury I understand but it did seem strange dropping him after the Colchester game when he really didn't do anything wrong.

I've no idea to be honest. Players are coming into and out of the squad at an alarming rate, and i don't know who is footing the bill for the loanees, they may well be subsidised.

What i do know is that when you have a team that chop and change constantly, as we are doing, it's usually a sign of a club in trouble. Most promoted sides, just continue on with building for the next level by adding a few better players and slowly phasing out the less able ones. We get back in the league, have 3 managers and a caretaker in less than two seasons, and more players than we can count coming and going. We can't do anything normally. We seem to be in a constant state of building for something in the future. A future point that never arrives.


This is so spot on. Can't agree more

He was a wild card signing and a lot of fans myself included where excited at the prospect of another Bogle type forward.The fleeting glimpse I had of him when he scored he looked like Bogle a right handful and I have yet to think that of Hooper,Vernon,Cardwell for a start.From what grimreaper says and from the departures we have seen it looks like Bignot got players in on big money and the board having sanctioned this then decided it wasn`t for them and to cut their losses?The squad was massive after Bignot left it`s still massive under Slade and whilst the wage bill may have come down a tad so as the quality of the squad.We need numbers to be low 20s with a few loaness and most of that 20 needs to be quality.This Summer will see another massive clearout and influx and for us the fans after seeing Hurst build a team we could identify with it`s very distressing but it must happen.

I thought it might be something to do with the 27 loanees, but the first game he missed only had 4. What on earth has gone on (if he's not injured)?

Regarding Asante, I've for no idea about what has gone on, but I do seem recall that the Solihull fans didn't seem overly bothered when he signed for us and he wasn't starting games then either - they were more upset about the loss of Osborne.

Whether they weren't that bothered because his fitness wasn't right at the time or not, I don't know, but you'd normally be more upset about the loss of your top scorer.

Perhaps if there were more covert recordings of what John Fenty really thinks we might shift a few more off the wage bill too
