Bromley fan here

JJ has scored 18 goals in 22 games for us in all competitions. Do you think there is a much of a chance for him at Grimsby? would love him back next year. I always thought there was not that much difference in the two divisions. Surprised he hasn't cut it in your league.

There is a real gap between these 2 Divisions we know that as since we came up opposition sides don’t boot 4 or 5 balls over our main stand per game any more .

But.... (Pete style)

I think Hooper is done at GTFC. There is a player in there and it looks like you’ve found him which is great for both parties if he signs for you.

Best of luck to the lad IMHO.

Something didn't click with JJ while he was here with us and the fans drained any ounce of confidence out of him, as he was 1st in line for grief when we didn't play well.  GTFC fans love to have someone in our team who they constantly diss regardless of their ability or output.

Glad to see him doing well, but I can't see why he would want to come back here.

where do you play him and what system/ formation do you use ?

We largely had him on the left wing.

Blody hell he definitely wouldn't fit in at Blundell Park

Keep him. He's not good enough for the football league his record speaks for itself. At Vale and with us, he's very much found his level in the non-league.

Without being disrespectful to the National League ( we know how competitive it can be ) there might be less pressure on JJ with Bromley than there was with us, battling relegation last season and being under pressure again at the start of this one?

You're mid-table and probably comfortable there, so maybe he can go out and fulfill his potential, whereas when he was with us there was maybe a greater need for him to perform and fan expectation is high with us. We badly need a goal scorer here but he wasn't really able to oblige

There were some good(ish) performances when he was with us but nothing consistent...maybe he was out of sorts just playing up in Grimsby ( not the first time players haven't settled locally ) but whatever it was, even though he wasn't quite able to cut it with us ( of which some of our made him well aware) I for one am pleased to see him doing well with Bromley

Good luck to him and to your team going forward

Can't do any worse than what we have got now.

After being poor at the start for us (especially winning headers) I actually didn't think he was that bad and improved for me in his time here.

Absolute balderdash, he was gash for the vast majority of games here, he played most of them as if he couldn't be arsed and this was exactly how he played at Port Vale, you only had to read their forum.
