Probably because he scored the extremely questionable equaliser in a game that we should have won

 

I’m not getting excited about a player that couldn’t get into the FG Rovers team.

Good signing but let’s not make out he’s a big named signing for this division or something.

 

No one is! The consensus is one for the future with a lengthy deal in the clubs favour. Even FGR fans suggest the same.

 

He's still 12 months on his contract, unless someone comes in for him offering a fee I can't see him going and as several have alluded to different ball game under Sparkie.

 

Big rod blow me down I used to wonder were they all went. Thanks for that. The point is that it’s easier to settle in an area you know and can hit the ground running from day one. Once again cheers for that advice ….,,

 

Some can’t see that far Dave?

 

Isn't hindsight a wonderful thing.

 

That's fine Broncs but if we're spending yet more months hoping he'll be 'back this week', 'ready in a couple of weeks', 'just got back out on the grass with the lads and looking good' etc etc whilst we have yet another mediocre season, it won't be hindsight at all. We as a club have got form for doing this.

 

Getting back to the thread I know zero about the lad as I didn't see any of our games with FGR to comment 1st hand, but what I will say is I think there's a lot of positive assumptions we can make from a very young lad a long way from home holding his own in a promotion winning squad. It couldn't have been easy for the kid not a chance, but you can only imagine his delight and enthusiasm to carry that path along on his door step with us with all his friends and family close to hand.

 

He’s very very mobile can bend a ball from distance with his “ wrong” foot ( watch the goal at VP) likes to work on the left side and cut in on the right. ( 4-1 game)I also think he was the lad whose long mazy run who scored at VP after one of our lads was “fouled “ but not given , deep in their own half.

Just search out YouTube vids Bradford v FGR last two seasons. From memory.

 

Another thread waltzing off into tangents lol.

Interesting early signing.

Am I the only one who doesn't really care if Vernham goes? He's had some cracking games but on the whole been distinctly average in many more. He can't even keep hold of the banjo to have a go at hitting the barn door with it.

 

Of course. It's only hypocrisy if committed by someone else

 

There a so many factors as to why a player may play for their local team for their whole career but I wouldnt say people should make a fuss of them because of it. Take Gary Jones for example he only played a couple of seasons for us but is talked about as a legend. Again circumstances dictate many a players career, just take Jamie Walker.

 

Enjoy the ride, season after season. Optimism is the word I would use with MH/ GH?

 

Great resume of a poor season. I’m with you…full of optimism.

Leadership starts with the “ boss” , in industry, in football and don’t we know it in Government. Get that wrong or treat it like “given right ” and it will, without any shadow of doubt, come crashing down. It’s who it affects as a result …..They will be the ones to suffer, not the incompetent or arrogant fool who caused it!

History is full of examples.

 

It adds to turnover, which less expenses adds to the spendable money. £1.1million is better than £500,000. And by my calculations (from your previous point ) Park Avenue finished above us in the league (most of which were in the same division) 17 times out of the 49 season we both co-existed.

 

In hindsight all my optimism last year was based on Adams having got someone promoted therefore this soiled all my decisions on signings. They must be good as its Adams. In reality some were bad
