Quite happy to see LJL come back, if that's what happens. Don't think he'll sit on his short-term contract and waste the season away (unlike others already in the squad).

Hurst can't go out there and kick the ball in the net himself. He needs to rely on his players to do that, and if you were backed into a corner and put under pressure at work, and you needed help to get yourself out of a hole, would you take a risk with people you don't know, or would you in fact call your mates?

He knows what he'll get from the likes of Payne and LJL, in this situation.

This isn't the summer, when he'll be building a squad for the season. Then I'd expect him to show the true breadth of his knowledge, and prove he can unearth the next generation of McKeowns, Pearsons, Disleys, Amonds and Bogles.

Quoted from pontoonlew

You say prolific striker from League 1/2 as though that's what ANY fan has asked for. Everyone was pleased with the signing yesterday.

What you're not taking into account is there is a middle ground between prolific and LJL. I cannot believe what I'm reading from some of these posts, LJL in 2015 has been reinvented over the course of today, he was bang average then (in the conference, 6 years ago) but suddenly he's become the messiah. It's completely typical of our fanbase to do this.

Let's not forget, LJL was part of a team that constantly failed to make the next step and get us out of the league. It took signing Podge and Bogle to finally have a strike force capable of taking us out of the conference.




The team we had the season before (with LJL) was better and more successful, other than a hotly disputed refereeing decision in the final that was a game-changer. We finished a place higher with six points more.

Not hotly disputed enough. A disgraceful piece of refereeing, cannot understand how Ross Joyce can continue to work.

Would be happy with the 3 strikers of Hanson, Payne and the shop to be our 3 main forwards til end of season if he signs.. always liked LJL thought some of the critism was out of order 1st time around.

Good to read on here that alot of people could see what he would bring to the team. If Hurst thinks he's still got it that's good enough for me.

Personally think it’s a no brainier.
Assuming Hereford don’t play another game anyway this season it will be good to have Lennie around. If it doesn’t work, not much lost. If it does it’s an inspired choice.

That's come from a Twitter account stating he's going back to a previous club on lucrative terms and once I read the word "lucrative" I ruled GTFC straight out iyf the running.

With Columbia or Paramount?


David Niven would bring a touch of class 😄


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

It seems that Lenny has gone from strength to strength since leaving Town. He did well for the Shrews, and he seems to be very highly thought of at Hereford on the evidence of their Fans’ Forum. One poster described him as the best player in the club’s (relatively recent) history. They seem to be resigned to losing him to us.
