    Are you seriously using footballer and full time in the same sentence? they do about 3 hours a day.
    And as far as having a ‘good job’ it would have to be over 50k a year to match any wages he’d get as a league 2 footballer, which in Darlington I highly doubt.

    Became a good striker and a blight against us when playing for Millwall. There’s been a few over the years at Halifax that we’ve either missed out on, or, more than likely, we wouldn’t spend the money to take a chance on them.

    Lee Gregory, Geoff Horsfall, Jamie Vardy spring to mind and possibly more?

    Only if other clubs show an interest in taking them, which seems unlikely, as it does with Evans.

    The lad there now, Billy Waters is it, could be the next one (albeit a little older).

    they seem to do very well producing them, as you say

    Fair point. But I was amazed we moved BRE and co on the other year! So anything is possible!

    Is the official club going to announce the "klaxxon"? Or has that fella left the social media team? Or was it Sparks? Either way, I wish we'd stop dicking about and just get on and sign this lad up. If we've come in with an offer, and it's only the 7th of Jan, then that's an improvement I suppose. All depends who else is in for him. Our 41k might match (or trigger) his valuation, but if there's other teams competing with us, can we offer the same wages?

    There’s a fans forum next week so I’d imagine the club will want to get at least another one in, before facing the baying mob and being accused of not being prepared.

    I thought any potential baying mob had been vetted out? Only those who have a rose tinted view of the club (a club they are greatful for even having) and don't mind wiping their hands on their trousers, are allowed to attend.

    The fans usually attending these forums are happy to be spoon fed from the clubs tit so I can't see there being a baying mob there. Only forums I've been to worth being there were the BFG ones. Guy could sell snow to Eskimos.

    This one seems to have caught people’s imagination it should be remembered he is playing in a league way below even division 2 standard if he does sign it is going to take a while to get up to speed. Might be one for the future as if we are paying money it is a definite gamble

    If we could offload Gilliead, Evans and Lavery would help but would keep Robinson who is a good backup

    I mean I'm not Gillieads biggest fan but he's adequate back up for this team, great assist Sat

    If Robinson’s performance against Barrow is anything to go by I’d rather play a ball boy. I have struggled to see a footballer ever to look so disinterested.

    There is the off chance he may have been struggling with Covid however.?

    I'm no fan of AG but of those quoted, he stays. Especially if he goes more central

    I actually think he’s one of the more hard working players for us, but unfortunately the problem for him is that he is absolutely useless.

    Gillead general play and work rate are good but unfortunately he has almost zero end product. Great through ball for the first goal last week though

    I think AG has decent skills and works hard. He just needs to grow a pair when he gets near the box

    His career suggests it may not just be a case of growing a pair but maybe, something as simple, as he is not tgat great ability wise.

    I agree, he does work hard.

    An important reflection, Bailiff Bridge Bantam. Though...if we did invest in hand dryers and they originated from outside the UK, we'd have to wait ages for international clearance before they could be in play.
