Matt released by Blackpool

I wouldn't be too hasty in discarding all and sundry. We fans are notoriously impatient and quick to label players as not good enough. Most had decided that Hooper and Woolford couldn't be got rid of quick enough a few weeks back. I think Matt looked a right handful in some games earlier in the season but went off the boil for a while. Like Hooper, there is something there to work with and he could come good eventually. I'll reserve judgement on him and see what MJ decides.

difference is ginny that woolford and hooper have improved or looked different players under Jolley - matt seems to have gone backwards, witness his substitute appearance at Swindon

Going to have to disagree with this.

Whilst he hasn't looked much better IMO ,he certainly hasn't gone backwards.

Woolford & Hooper have improved because they are playing a different role more suited to them

But then in the home match against Swindon the guy was awesome.

that's what i mean - i saw him at barnet and thought he played really well, but the games i've seen since Xmas he's looked like he couldn't really be arrsed

I think Matt had some personal problems mid season didn’t he which will have affected him like it has plenty of others.

I think there’s a player in there somewhere but with those already On a contract ie Hooper and Cardwell, I personally don’t think we can afford to employ another striker who ‘might’ come good.

I appreciate that good strikers are like rocking horse doo doo but we have to be aiming for someone else imo

It's rare I disagree with you Ginny but I'll be really disappointed if Matt plays for Town again. Nothing wrong with his attitude so it pains me to say this but I don't think there's anything to work with. His first touch is terrible and aside from the 2 headed goals he scored, which were great, he hardly won another header at any point in any game.

If he were to sign for us it would take a massive drop in wages.
Fairly good source that us and Blackpool were splitting his wages this season.
I wouldn’t expect us to pay any more than we actually were.
Personally, I’d be happy to see him move on.

Will always be grateful to him for that Notts County goal, but as others have said, I don't think he's done enough here in the other games he played to warrant us signing him.

Good luck to him wherever he goes though, as long as he doesn't score against us next season.

He had his moment in the last game, I think a lot of people put in a shift for a contract for that game really. Thanks, but no thanks. Don't think he's particularly good at anything and most games I've watched him in I don't think he really made an effort either. I'd probably be a bit disappointed if we signed him because I don't think it's our best foot forward.
