If he can replicate that he could score in the premiership.

So...yes he needs tying down...with a 20/25 million release clause to fvck off Peterborough!


Why do we constantly do this ? A few great goals and suddenly we go over the top. 'Bogle for England' I recall a few years back

Truth is he's unlikely to replicate Tuesday's goals in Div 2 again in a hurry never mind the Premiership, he'd have been taken out long before he got anywhere near the edge of the opposition box. a view shared I'm told by the Colchester manager who accused his lads of being afraid to tackle (foul) him!

An approach taken by Ollie that is the opposite taken by Man United when appointing their current manager.

Decisions taken in haste or panic seldom work out.

The truth is that we’ve had very few players at GTFC in the last twenty years who were even capable of scoring a goal like that. CV is at least the equal of Siriki Dembele, which makes him a significant asset. Most of the best players in League 2 belong to Premiership or Championship clubs as well.

I guess you dont buy a Calendar too often (and i dont mean just once a year )....my mum gets one every year for Christmas and by the time the she turns the February page there are normally at least 3 or 4 players missing.  By the time you get to October you have to remind yourself who the hell was that ?

I do think people may be getting a little carried away, at least at this stage. Young Charles has played 50 odd games for us with performances ranging anywhere from anonymous to sensational.

Just recently he’s been sensational, no argument, but overall he’s had more games for us where he’s contributed relatively little.

If this is the true Charles Vernam we’re seeing now, then by all means that’s a very exciting prospect. But for me he needs to prove he can do it consistently over a longer period of time before comparisons to John Oster and Conor Townsend are warranted.

Agree entirely. Nothing wrong with praise and a little bit of hype. Lord knows we have had enough dross through the doors over the last 15 years.

I have followed Town for 35 years so could list plenty who have been class acts but the last decade has seen very few players to get excited about. Off the top of my head the likes of Connel, Nolan, Bogle, Bennett, Townsend have, on their day, looked a cut above. I am sure others could add to this list but I am talking about pure ability.

Also the fattish winger from down south who we had 4/5 years ago. He never looked interested but showed glimpses of real quality. Can't remember his name????

Some players just need a manager to give them the confidence to play. Obviously Charlie didn’t fit Jolleys style of play but he’s now thriving. I’m sure we’ve all had bosses that we’ve enjoyed working with and others we haven’t. Let’s just enjoy a liberated Vernam - it’s not just the five goals in four but the manner of the goals too.
