Was reminded by a Telegraph article that Charles Vernam is a Town player.  Remember those heady days of excitement about signing him.

Still think Vernam will turn into a good player for us, he was obviously carrying this injury at the start of the season and now he’s paying the price for playing through it. Not his fault and I can’t understand the stick he’s had for it either.

No

I was never excited by him signing, we needed a striker with a better match to goal ratio.

Never excited me and I couldnt understand the OTT reaction when he did re-sign, especially on a 3 year deal, But he's a town player and when he returns from injury, I hope he makes me look a fool

One of hurst’s worst signings , gold plated 3 year contract for a serial under achiever. It seemed we had to have him at any price

One thing is for sure - when he’s fit, and selected, he needs to prove himself and perform. A couple of flashes of greatness in a sequence of little contribution shouldn’t wash. I hope he does show us all what a good player he is. And he ain’t the only one.
Quite a few need to up their standards, markedly.

Think he falls into the same bracket of a few of the signings made. ' What if ' he could recapture that form he had a couple seasons ago at Bradford. Same story with Eisa, it was a case of what if he could get back to his Scunny days and to be fair to him he was flying but obviously performances regressed with the whole squad. That's why they're playing L2 football, if they were Mr Consistent they wouldn't be here I suppose.

Still a good player in my book. Some good form doesn't make you a world beater and the opposite is also true with bad form. Went under the radar a little that he was coming back from an injury (knee I believe) during the start of the season.

Think he's proven in the right environment with his head down he can be a real asset at this level, once he's over his injury hopefully the new management team can get the best out of him.

Slightly harsh in my opinion given we've seen so little of him.  Admittedly his early season form wasn't brilliant but as we suspect he was carrying an injury.  Better to judge him once he's fit.

And I think he'd slip way down the list of Paul Hursts worse signings.
