Ex-Players & Managers thread May 1st on

[SteveyAsp]

Would you like to revise that after yesterday, Steve

Nope....I think there will be better out there that offer more and probably from the start of the game, not just a sub.
I refuse to use this "finisher" crap that Tommy likes to use to not offend anyone.

But Steve, you are subtly changing your argument from Kwame is not effective from the bench (which I think he is) to he needs to be effective from the start.

I offer you the examples of David "Supersub" Fairclough at Liverpool and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer at Manchester United to illustrate that there really are such players as "finishers".

He hasn't really been in the time he's been here on loan....Last season he had a purpose.
He's obviously not been great at Ebbsfleet.
You can't compare David Fairclough at Liverpool to us.
We can't afford to carry players.
We all have opinions which is great.
You think he's worth keeping I don't

Thanks, Steve. Yes, we all have opinions. But please look closely at my post. I didn't compare David Fairclough to us.

If I say Theo Widdrington is a professional footballer (which is true) and Jude Bellingham is a professional footballer(also true), I am clearly not making any comparison of their respective talents.

Ok....They're substitutes!
This starters and finishers stuff is akin to not having losers in kids sports and Tommy's way of not offending the little darlings.

Good signing for them at their level (Isthmian Premier) and joins up again with manager Jay Saunders.

Ok, you have a squad of players who can't all start, you make them all feel involved (many starting when needed) and also have a team that has scored a decent number of late goals this season. Where's the problem here?

Corey Jordan has parted company with Weymouth after turning down the contract he was offered.

Corey has signed for Southern League Premier side Poole Town.

Sorry, didn't you say something completely different on here a few days ago about people saying we should sign players that come available ,..mad season or something !! on those lines , and there you are doing the same

Ethan Chislett released by Port Vale

He’s not going to drop back to non-league, he’s way too good for that. I suspect Port Vale may think he’s a bit lightweight for League 1 though.

Ethan Chislett released by Port Vale

That's a surprise. 168 EFL appearances, 26 goals, and still only 26. Surely he'll be snapped up by an EFL club?

I would say that Ethan was the standout signing of the awful Danny Searle years. Lots of people gave Danny credit for "finding" Chislett but it was an open secret in local football that Ethan was playing way below his level at Met Police.

Was it ? I & probably quite a few others had never heard of him until he came to us. Just like Tommy with Stokes & Tolaj, managers take a punt on players. Sometimes it pays off, sometimes it doesn’t.

Danny Searle deserves a bit of credit for this one.

Agree, if it was this ''open secret'' (which i very much doubt) then why had nobody else picked him up sooner, funny how people throw out these comments like 'open secrets'
