I would be very happy with Vernam, thought he looked a class act when here and was bizarrely shunted into wide roles.

However, he doesn't strike me as a proper striker.  Bit like Cook, he's someone who wants to come deep and make things happen.  No. 10/false 9/deep lying forward/foil/whatever you want to call it.

Vernam would be a great signing if we can keep him fit. A proper footballer.

I think Hooper's going to be the striker we all want to see signed. He's quick, strong and clearly has ability. But it's a matter of getting him to perform. In terms of Vernam liking to come short, you need that kind of player to link up play with the midfielders in the formation it looks like we'll be playing.

Oh I completely agree. I think we can't afford to have just one player who's capable of doing that linking of everything together.  We've seen too often that if you expect one player to do all the creating, they're easily nullified.  If, this is a big if, we do sign Vernam, I wonder if Jolley sacrifice one of the midfield 3 to play both Vernam and Cook behind a lone front man.

We aren’t going to be playing with recognised wingers so there’s going to be a lot of emphasis on the full backs to provide the width. I’m sure Vernam could play on the left of a three but I’d like to see him play in the Countinho position at the tip of a midfield three where he can come short and run at players, create space for others. I’d like to ser JJ remain playing that role on the left of a three. Even before his hat trick at FGR he looked like a totally different player in that position. Goals are still going to be an issue I fear, we need a genuine goal scorer and a midfielder who’s going to get beyond the striker. This would have been Whitehouse I suspect but hey ho we move on. I’m sure we’ll be fitter, more agressive and play at a higher tempo this season, not that that would be any sort of achievement. Slade did a lot of long term damage and I have my doubts whether players like Woolford, Rose and JJ can perform at that higher level for 46 games rather than 5 or 6.


I've wasted my life in black and white, a pathetic act for a worthless cause
