I dunno. I think if Hooper finishes the season strongly at Bromley, he may remain in Jolley's plans.

Jolley, as we've seen, has given younger players a chance. True, Hooper's form is often erratic but let's not forget he's scored a hat-trick for this club. Dead rubber or not, it was a good hat-trick.

This loan at Bromley might just be the making of him.

I know this will go down poorly, but Hooper's been at this club for the same length of time as Cardwell and he's contributed far more to the team in terms of goals.

I'm not knocking Cardwell at all, because he's played fewer games and missed pre-season (and I know there's more to football than sticking it in the net). Just mentioning it for discussion, that's all.


Cardwell works hard and works for the team, he will become a good player through sheer hard work.

Hooper has talent but is one of the laziest players I’ve ever seen. His laziness is the sole reason he finds himself in Non League and Cardwell finds himself in our first team.

Shame to see him not deliver here and I too don't think he'll be back, I get the feeling that there is a player in there but he just doesn't have that desire to go for it, we don't want to be carrying passengers so thanks for your efforts and good luck at Bromley Hoops.


Supporting the Mighty Mariners for over 30 years, home town club is were the heart and soul is and it's great to be a part of it.

Good on him and long may it continue.
Bluntly,not good enough for a competitive L2 club IMO.

He was dreadful when he played for us a few years back when on loan from Newcastle United.

How he got a Football League contract astonished me.

Never has the phrase 'found his level' been more apt. It's a saying that is sometimes used as a barbed comment but it's genuine here....if we were still stuck in the National League and Hooper had signed on loan and banged those goals in for us we'd be thrilled. We did sign players like that, always with a suspicion that they'd found their level and they'd be playing higher up if they were any better.
Don't think he fits into what MJ has planned but I am pleased for Hooper, back nearer home and scoring.

I would be thrilled with any player who banged in the goals for us, problem is apart from FGR away he didn't here and really never looked like he would and apparently didn't look like it at Port Vale.

I wouldn't say he was lazy,  he put in a full shift helping the full back out-I think it was a lack of confidence thing

Against sluggish lower league defenders, he will flourish against a much higher calibre of defender he wilts and loses confidence bet he is enjoying it much more good luck to him.

If one day Hooper really wants a higher level he might do it.

After bagging goals when we had secured league status I thought he would kick on but alas it was not to be but whilst he is under contract Jolley did see something in him.
