Vernam joins Chorley

Quoted from moosey_club

Vernam has done naff all for us in reality. He got the hook at half time in his last appearance and did absolutely nothing in that 45 minutes, did virtually nothing against the Sunderland U23's B Team and has consistently shown he has about 20 mins worth of input in a game when he does get a chance and invariably runs into cul de sacs when he has the ball.
Never fulfilled the potential or shown the consistency of performance IMO.

Some on the ball skill he definately has but that alone doesnt mean he should be the first choice player some suddenly seem to think he should be.

He’s one of a few that have regressed under MJ add to the list Clifton, Cooke and arguably Hendrie. Ring hasn’t had the opportunity to establish himself as Foxy’s replacement and Cardwell should have gone out on a long term loan at the start of the season

Think we have seen the last of him in a Town shirt? Permanent move out in January (or loan).


[To make way for the half dozen players Jolly has lined up in the next window.]

I don't think he will be very successful at Chorley - the step up in class may be beyond him.

I would use the training ground to see if Ring could replace Whitehouse-one of our weak links. Couldn't be any worse.

As if. There is no way he will turn out to be a top player in L1. He hasn’t managed to show he is good enough to make a consistent impact on L2. Just a sad fact and many others have experienced the same. The evidence thus far  says he’s not good enough for league football.

In some ways I agree it's unlikely but then I think of players like Alex Rodman

Vernam reminds me of him a little...not saying they're exactly like for like but I'd say some similarities

When Rodman joined us he was 26 and had had a far from illustrious career but since leaving us he's done ok for himself and it would seem he's not out of his depth in League One at all

To be honest the number of decent players that have slipped through our fingers over the last few years is staggering. I suppose the best example being Amond.

A first eleven comprised of those we have let go, or didn't do enough to keep, would be far better than the current team. There is something toxic about GTFC which we cannot seem to shake off. A revolving door of players, mostly average but some better ones and we are in exactly the position we started in - bottom end of division 4.

Not quite sure I agree that Vernam will be a top player in League One but the decision to loan him out is an odd one, loaning any striker out is odd when we're so timid in attack at the minute.

The service is awful to the front two/three at the minute but surely the time has come for both Green and Hanson to have extended rests?  Neither is offering anything other than coming back for corners.  

If nothing else, Vernam offers something different in that he can at least get on the ball and go past a player.  That all said he's had long enough to make an impression with us and he hasn't.  I agree with whoever said that he'll be on his way permanently in January.

I literally have no idea what his best position is.

Anyone know how he actually got on during his 63 mins?

Anyone know how he actually got on during his 63 mins?

scored 6, assisted for 5, with Southgate watching on,  tripled the attendance, cured a crippled man in the crowd, served pies at half time , kissed a few babies and is now Mayor of Chorley.
