It's Livvo all over again, totally different style of player, but the same common problem...injury. If he can get through it, then great player at this level. If he can't, then not good. A fit and healthy Vernam is a major asset.

Quoted from Garth


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


Quick search brings up two examples, I'm sure there are many, many more.  That's just from this site as well.

Not unanimous (not that I ever said it was) and there is a fair few people praising the work done.  But there was plenty comparing his reign to when Neil Woods took us down.  Twitter, in particular, was full of opinions not favourable to his approach.

It wasn't a criticism of those who felt/feel he didn't do a good job.  Frustration was at an all time high and everyone's entitled to an opinion.  I was just observing that the value of the work he's done shouldn't be underestimated.

Needs signing up pronto. May already be too late. Been good since coming back from Chorley, but really taken off the last few weeks. Absolutely sensational goal. How many trying to stop him and they couldn't even hack him down!

It's marvelous what confidence does to a player Ollie has given him that plus Anthony as well.

I’m less concerned than I would be under normal circumstances. I, I think like most, felt there was some genuine talent hiding in Vernam somewhere but his career has been in absolute freefall over the last few years.

Walking through the doors of Chorley FC, he must have wondered if his days as a fully professional footballer were numbered.

And then Ollie comes along, and then this. He’s working with someone now who has very quickly been able to get the best out of him, and it turns out his best is pretty special. After years of struggle and decline, it would be foolish to walk away from that, and I suspect he knows it.


A smooth sea never made a skillful mariner.

It is clear to me that he is being encouraged to dribble with the ball, beat a man and be a bit greedy. Under previous management doing those things probably resulted in him being taken off or dropped.

Just been given a big billing on Sky Sports News so expect Peterborough will be in touch shortly!!!

Certainly proving me wrong as I was one of his big doubters particularly because he drifted out of too many games after decent twenty minute cameos but at present he has the golden touch. Makes you think how easy it is for talented players to slip into the non league system as they don’t for whatever reason either get a proper chance or simply don’t get long enough to show their worth.

Keep it going a Charlie and let’s hope that new deal is in the post.
