True, always all about opinions.

Vernam was signed by Jaxe Buxton who was sacked just before the New Year.  Jimmy Flloyd Hasseilbaink has come in to a side who are rock bottom of League One, signed nine new players and a return to a more pragmatic style of play.  The grab a lead and defend the 1-0 isn't something that's going to suit someone like Vernam.

Early reports from Burton were that he was their best player and had hit the ground running before a niggling injury ruled him out for a bit.  

I think there's always going to be an element of him that is susceptible to injuries and niggles.  But I personally wouldn't judge Vernam on his time at Burton.  We've had plenty of players come through the door this season into a poor side, made little impression and then secured a move to a higher level.  There's also the element that League One is a higher standard than ours.  Vernam wouldn't be the first player to excel at this level but fail to make the step up in League One.

I agree with most of what you said, but the ironic thing is that a team cannot just defend a lead, they need an outlet, and someone with pace to take the pressure off and launch counter attacks, which he would be ideal for!

I know he had a good short spell with us but I’m not unduly upset by him going to Bradford. I think his purple patch with us is long over hence him not pulling up any trees at Burton. Wouldn’t surprise me all all if he didn’t kick on at Bradford.....Not jealous in the slightest.....😂

Oh I completely agree.  I always think having someone who opposition fear is the best form of defence - less likely to commit men forward knowing there's someone capable of taking full advantage on the counter.

I just don't think he would fit in with how Hasselbaink sets his sides up.
