Charlie, new deal

Quoted from Davec

but I assume Jolley spotted him in the few games he watched before becoming manager as somebody with potential.

I assume so too (he recognised talent!)

Don't think there's many who saw a future at the club for Vernam a few months back, I certainly didn't.

Ability was never in doubt but he just couldn't seem to get going.  

Huge credit to Limbrick for recognising what was there and then to Holloway for encouraging it even further.  I know Limbrick took a lot of stick when he was caretaker but I think his value can be underestimated. Yes, the results weren't great but slowly the performances improved and the rut stopped.  Holloway has transformed the place but Limbrick gave him a steady foundation to build on, as opposed to the sinking ship that he inherited from Jolley.

Back to Vernam, long time since we've had a player where there's a genuine buzz when he gets the ball.  Saturday was the point of expectation every time he got the ball, which only increased as the game went on.  They doubled and trebled up on him but now with Glennon there to offer the overlap, teams are really struggling to contain our left side.  Great to watch.

There's been many players at many clubs who are unlucky enough to play for a manager that doesn't 'get' them so when you get a player with a bit of flair like Charlie, it's very hard when the manager plays in a way that doesn't suit the player. I think Anthony and Ben deserve massive credit for putting CV back in the side and hope that we get him tied to a new contract very soon.

Where's that Vernam thread from a while ago? Pretty sure I said all he needed was a run in the side, so I'm claiming that as a solid call on my part.

,,,,,and I suggested he had played his last game for Town. How things change, my first name on the team sheet now!

He didn’t just need a run in the team, he needed to be played in the right place and doing the right things. He was disappearing from games and getting subbed which was his own fault but he was also turning back with the ball and playing hospitals passes to his full back instead of getting speed up and taking players on. That was Jolley’s fault. Pleased to see him become an attacking threat after so long just promising a lot. Credit to Limbrick but more to Holloway for giving him a proper job down that left side.

I don't disagree with any of that really, however the best football he played under Jolley was during the times when we got back to back starts though. His worst form was when his minutes were a bit all over the place.

Remember him being in decent form around or just before the Xmas period last season. Then he got injured, and never really came back properly.

Well happy he's getting a decent run and is staying fit (touch wood). He's in fine form at the moment.

Do we not travel by coach any more ?? 😉

Limbrick getting stick, where did you dig that one up from?
To be fair he got nothing but encouragement from the fans and the board, and regarding Charlie there was myself and a few around me who thought that he was a promising player being spoilt by poor management
