Hooper

I'll be disappointed if he does get a game to be honest.

He's had his chance here and whilst I don't wish any ill on the lad but it's now time for someone else to get their opportunity.  According to Google, Hooper has played 46 games for us which is more than enough time to make a lasting impression.  He's had countless opportunities with us and other than a few stand-out performances has generally produced nothing.

Good luck to the lad, I'm sure he'll have plenty of suitors on the back of his goals with Bromley.  But it's time for someone like Max Wright to get a chance.

Nail hit firmly on the head..

Devil's advocate time...

Hooper has scored 9 goals in 32 starts during his time at Town. If he's a central striker then we haven't played him there, so you could argue that goal return is ok.

By comparison, Wes Thomas scored 12 in 37 starts, and he was the out-and-out central striker who was one of the first names on the team sheet each week.

Goalscorers are hard to find, and if we already have one on the books who's banging them in regularly in the league below (which really isn't far behind the standard of League 2 - just look at what Tranmere and Lincoln have done since coming up) then it seems a bit odd not to reconsider Hooper's contract.

Think with Ohman and Cook still out, and Rose just added to the injury list we may very well see him get a game.

He is the best striker on the books

Problem with your Devil's Advocacy is that Hooper looked utterly clueless when played through the middle. He did better out on the left but still not brilliantly and that hat-trick in a dead rubber of a game rather skews the figures.

I had hopes for him this year after he finished last season so well but, for whatever reason, he just never performed this time around and looked less of a player. Probably not helped with the abortive and often hopeless attempts by the manager to play 3-5-2 early in the season, but even so you would want to have seen more from him this season.

I'd imagine he'll get himself a job at a club in the Conference down south somewhere where he'll probably score a good few goals.

Try being in my size 8s...I had a bet with Forza Ivano at the beginning of the season that Cardwell and hooper would both do double figures this year...talk about being so far off the mark my dart stuck in the barmaids head!!..
We have to be honest, I think with hooper he suffers with "rabbit in the headlight" syndrome...at Bromley he's playing in front of hundreds whereas in league football it's in front of thousands and just can't handle that added pressure...I also think that's why at FGR he bagged the hat trick, pure and simple he had no pressure at all on him that day....convinced if had the bottle he'd score goals in the league but alas, the poor lad just cannot cut the mustard

Good for a hat trick in the final game isnt he ? Chuck him in  

I’d have him play instead of Cardwell.

Do you think Bromley would like to have Cardwell on loan until next May
