You have to question why after only half a season Burton, who are deep sh!t themselves, have sold him?...
On his day he was almost unplayable, but we all said the same, he drifted in and out of games far too often.
Think as fans we were annoyed in the manner of his departure rather than Charles Vernham leaving the club per se.

I think my comments at the time he was allowed to leave were “FFS”.


I think others were something like 'oh thank you so much for saving us Phil, you're so honest!'

To be honest prior to his Chorley move and subsequent successful return I was of the opinion that CV was one of thos technically gifted players who just don’t push on and have a professional career.

However, in those return games he was far more involved and scored some quality goals, the other thing he provides are width and pace which means he has to be closely monitored by opposing defenders for the full 90 minutes which leaves more space for other forwards. Thus would have been happy if he returned but as that’s not happening Rodman coming back would be more than welcome.

Can not understand why people want him back...

He played 62 times (inc Loan spell) and scored 10 goals, but if you take the 4 goals in the 7 games he played after return from loan at Chorley his stats are....

Played 55 scored 6 goals.


I think a lot just remember the last 7 games and that 'wonder' goal. not done much at Burton and can not see him getting a regular start at Bradford.


I know the point you're making, but you can't just not count the games where he was looking like he was a class above. Maybe the stats would look different (more positive) if you only counted appearances when he started?

Stats can be used to form opinions but its dangerous to ONLY use stats to form an opinion. Vernam is capable of being class at this level. Anyone using the stats to try and say otherwise is just ignoring what they've witnessed with their own eyes surely?

CV did some decent stuff for us following his loan out.

Technically decent, we’ve seen that. Athletically good too.

Let’s not pretend we wouldn’t want him here for the relegation fight. We would. Well I would

Great signing for Bradford City, so that’s that.

And if it wasn't for you Phil we would've had him

My main memory of CV was an away game at Crewe. JJ Hooper was playing down the left and worked his knackers off tracking back against Crewe’s right back. JJ was subbed around 65 mins (from memory) & Vernam switched to the left wing as part of the reorganisation.

About 5 or so minutes later the Crewe right-back knocked in the opening goal at the far post with CV stood about 20 yards behind him watching having failed to track his run.

I think we then lost the game 2-0 chasing the game.

He had his purple patch under IH, but that doesn’t excuse the 2 years of nothingness that preceded it.
