False nostalgia from GTFC fans on a player who didn’t perform here, shock...

Andy Cook has surprised me with how well he’s done since he left us.
Is there a problem with the coaching our strikers are getting, if they can develop so well once they’ve gone ?

I find it odd the over reaction of some of our fans to Yussuf signing for a L1 team. Firstly, doesn’t mean he’ll do well at that level and as it stands, he is unproven even in L2. Secondly, he did nothing for us when playing. And thirdly, he was barely played by Bignot who was the one who signed him so it’s not necessarily a huge mistake on Slade’s part (for once).

He might have developed and pushed on since then and I wish him well. Doesn’t mean the club dropped a clanger getting rid.


Looking forward to a brighter future now Fenty has gone.

I liked him when I saw him play, quick and powerful. Never really got his chance at Town. I’d take him over Cardwell all day long. What do I know though......I think Seb Ring is a good signing

Not many strikers can score goals every season, at every club they play for.

Different midfielders supplying the passes
Different wingers supplying the crosses
Different formations, mean different positions.

Everything is a factor... Amond at Morecombe, Connell at Bournemouth... Both bang average records elsewhere before joining us

Andy Cook never looked properly fit when he was with us and I think has admitted as much since then. Obviously a different player when he's not carrying the extra pounds and blowing out his rear end after 15 minutes of the game.

Probably difficult for a young lad to move across the country away from friends and family and then make a proper go of things, but plenty of players have done it elsewhere so I don't have too much sympathy with him. We paid him to do a job and he didn't try hard enough.

Agreed. We can blame Slade for countless things but getting rid of Adi Yussuf isn't one of them.

He scored twice against Blackpool in the FA Cup last season, so they've obviously been tracking him since then. Well I hope they have and they haven't signed him just on the basis of that one game.

Slade got rid of him, so yes I think I can place the blame with him
