Quoted from monkeyboy
I will probably be shot down for this but i have seen a few people getting on about pepple.

When he was introduced on saturday he held the ball up well and found more space than taylor did, he also is a bit quicker.
He also seems to have a few efforts on goal when he does get a few minutes which is something our current strikers dont get.

I think with a run of games this lad could well prove the doubters wrong.  hardest part is getting games tho as certain people are first on the teamsheet and seem to be undroppable.
Hurst is a very stobborn man.


If there was single shred of evidence that he was capable of finishing like taylor did for his disallowed goal in the first half then you might have a point. Unfortunately there isn't, he's come on a few times and made a difference by being a nuisance, but that's about it. Hardly enough to justify giving him a run of games. I'd rather see Orsi being given more of a run to be honest.

Not sure how comprehensive this list is (and there are some familiar names) but seems to be top end of the going rate for a non-league player

https://www.transfermarkt.co.u.....amp;w_s=&zuab=ab


Surely we didn't pay £108k for Scott Garner!? Worse than that though, on page 2, is the £59k paid by us for Serge Makofo!

It's frightening looking down that list how quickly many of those players came back to earn their living in League 2 and below.

I’m sure it’s the same at every club, team loses a couple in a row and a fringe player gets a caning on social media from his own “supporters”.

That’s tripe. The striker issue has been there all season and the fact Pepple rarely starts says pretty much all you need to know.

I get the frustration by fans eg  work hard all week and just want what's best for their team come Saturday but must be hard for the youngsters especially who are still developing. Constructive criticism is the way to go I feel especially when you see players who are trying to improve.

I can see Simmons being sent back. To be honest someone mentioned him a few days ago and I had forgotten that we even had him.

It would be interesting to see what Hurst would do if and when Taylor got injured.

Id put my money on either Richardson or Orsi. I think Pepple would still only make the bench.

The post wasn’t about the striker issue it was about “pile on’s” on this and other forums, so far this season we’ve had “experts” going after Clifton, JMD, Efete and now Pepple.

Agreed, but people like to start a movement don’t they?

For me, Pepple is coming off as a player who needs that first goal to relax him and take the weight off his shoulders. After all, he's come over from Canada where he was scoring well, thrown into men's English lower-level football and struggling to find the net. He's clearly got the ability and he's shown it at times with his hold-up play and movement.

Didn't he assist Clifton at Walsall for one of his goals?


I don't mind Roy Keane making £60,000 a week. I was making the same when I was playing. The only difference was I was printing my own - Mickey Thomas

The area you are trying to protect at corners is the goal - Chris Kamara

I once said Gazza's IQ was less than his shirt number and he asked me: What's an IQ? - George Best

We’ve signed at least two strikers, maybe three, that the manager clearly doesn’t rate. I don’t see a pile on, I see it as opinion bordering on fact.
