I'm guessing this isn't the big announcement we were looking forward to today

 

Then Lincoln absolutely should've made the ol triple announcement. AKA an Ormandroyd, Mohan and Ward

 

very odd indeed he needs locking up the chance to earn less money at a lower level fooks sake the worlds gone mad

 

Eisa checkmate. So not all bad. And pereira is getting better.

 

Pretty certain, he will have considered it though.

 

Dont disagree whatsoever….did it myself.

 

In my opinion….Beware of people trawling back through your support for Edin doing such a wonderful job. It’s an opinion …right.

 

In fairness, nobody played well for Adams.

 

And it was nearly Solihull Moors!!

 

Good luck to him .

 

He was great away to Sutton. Good luck to him and Paudie, hopefully we can improve on them both.

 

Under the thumb - probably a consideration!

 

I don't agree that he will be hard to replace. Granted, he was superb under Hughes - but he was as responsible as anyone for the, at times, early season wrong / inconsistent decision making etc.

If he was that good, he'd have taken all those games by the scruff of the neck, i.e. like Reid did in L1 when we got promoted and started to struggle, just before his bad knee injury.

During the past 10 years, we've been fortunate to have some great wide men. For instance, I think that Garry Thompson walks all over Vernham, at this level, for panache and game dominance.

I also think that Pereira with a good pre-season and Hughes's know how would be a better bet. He's apparently keen to rejoin - whether Luton will let him, is of course another question

mid a club is run in the right manner then it should help greatly but sadly some just can’t get a grip of it we should be easily have the biggest budget nobody at this level should be able to compete with us sadly it only takes a few loons to make a real mess of it

 

In fairness, Adams once dropped him and we went and won 3-0 at Swindon.

He was good, but we've had far better wingers at this level.

And if he's as great as some make out, it wouldn't make a difference who the manager is - he would be dominating 90% of the matches for 90% of playtime - instead of 70% for 60%. It's easy to blame the manager and say he's not getting the best out of him - just ask Paul Pogba.

I think we got carried away, because when he was in the flow - he was the only good creative outlet we got.

Plus of course, he did end the season well.

 

Yet a league one side deems him good enough to take a punt on. I guess Lincoln are wrong then

 

Unless our budget was 2 or 3 times everyone else's, it's going to make no difference in L2.

It's about the managers and the style they think they need to get success at this level and then committing to it. That's why Sutton nearly got automatic promotion and ended above Salford and Tranmere. Cambridge and Cheltenham are now both successful L1 teams, but didn't have big budgets to get out of here.

 

I said goal contributions…. I also only gave league appearances.

 

We don't have any player that can't be replaced, we are just a bang average league 2 football club.
But if you can't see what a fully firing Vernam would have brought to this side next season under Hughes then I can't help you. It's wierd how the signings we've made so far bar Walker are just run of the mill league 2 players yet a player going up.a division is just 'average'? That makes no logical sense. I bet if we'd just signed Vernam you'd be all over it like a cheap suit.

 

If you can find someone who's saying Vernahm's a "bang average League 2 footballer" then I'd agree with you.

What some of our saying is that it is not some kind of devastating loss. Some seem to imply that he's irreplaceable without spending big. Well as we would have had to pay him "big" and clearly would have been prepared to do so, then it means that he is replaceable.

I find it hard to get concerned about any of the players who have been here for a season or more - given where we've ended up in both those seasons.

I do question really has it for the big matches. Significant, he played better when the season was over - although in fairness Hughes will have been a big factor also.

But good luck to him. He's certainly been one of our better players of recent seasons.
