Quoted from It Bites


Vernams can do the Macatee thing when he’s up to speed . He looks a bit low on confidence and fitness too me . Eisa needs a free role to use that sledgehammer as much as possible


How many Vernams do we have?

Been needing a striker for the past 10 years , but with them costing alot of cash we seem to toodle along happy with free agents hoping one will click and bang us 20 goals in, no luck yet but unless we pay big money we will have to be happy with taking punts on strikers and hoping we get someone who costs nothing but all of a sudden bangs them in.

Armstrong from Harrogate is costing 400k so that goes to show what you're looking at when your paying money,  I just don't understand why we never really look at taking strikers from the lower leagues who has a decent record on a cheaper rate hoping they show something whilst with us . Peterborough are the masters at it , taking scorers proven lower down and making big money on them. It works they prove that

It's definitely something we need to look at , I mean anyone could have taken Langstaff when he was at Gateshead and he's probably now a 1million+ player and doing really well .

Quoted from grimsby pete
We don't have to get a 20 goal striker just one who is a  big strong lad who can bring others into play ,

You never know Rose might be able to score 20 given the right service.


We need to change the way we play considerably for that to happen.

Fairly certain we did that with both Hearn and Bogle

Also think 10 years is an exaggeration, last proper striker we had was Wes Thomas who I'm sure would have scored 15-20 consistently for us

Didn’t Holloway sign 3 of those…worked like a Tesco 3 for 2 offer on something weird you’ve never tasted before…most of the first packet ends up half eaten in the bin and the other are chucked out unopened…

I think last seasons xg was massively misleading as in some of the home games we had about 5 golden chances in the last few minutes.

Anyway hopefully get someone in to help up top.

It's not popular somewhat understandably but I think Vernam will be a decent threat for us.......not sure when though.
