I believe the problem is we don’t know if he could have scored at our level as - rightly or wrongly - he wasn’t given the opportunities.A.T.F.C 92 wrote: ↑Sat Feb 15, 2025 7:57 am Shuttle doing what ghandor did went to farnborough scored goals could not do it it step higher

I thought Stuttle always had more of a physical presance on the little time he had on the pitch. Noted County away proved his capabilities.redblueuptoyou wrote: ↑Sat Feb 15, 2025 7:59 amI believe the problem is we don’t know if he could have scored at our level as - rightly or wrongly - he wasn’t given the opportunities.A.T.F.C 92 wrote: ↑Sat Feb 15, 2025 7:57 am Shuttle doing what ghandor did went to farnborough scored goals could not do it it step higher

The management team saw him in training every day. Perhaps they thought he wasn’t good enough?redblueuptoyou wrote: ↑Sat Feb 15, 2025 7:59 amI believe the problem is we don’t know if he could have scored at our level as - rightly or wrongly - he wasn’t given the opportunities.A.T.F.C 92 wrote: ↑Sat Feb 15, 2025 7:57 am Shuttle doing what ghandor did went to farnborough scored goals could not do it it step higher

Then why take him on loan? They said they had been trailing him for a while.Alex wrote: ↑Sat Feb 15, 2025 10:18 amThe management team saw him in training every day.

Re: Ex-Player & Manager News - February 1st onwards
Not every signing that a club makes works out as they had hoped. Yes, they said that they had been trailing him and when he was signed I’m sure that TW had good expectations of him. However for whatever reasons (feel free to speculate away) it didn’t work out. Was it (speculating mode) the player, was it the management, was it the training, why wasn’t he given more game time, did he ask to be recalled?HackJowarth wrote: ↑Sat Feb 15, 2025 10:46 amThey did indeed state they’d been trailing him for a while.Harlow Massive wrote: ↑Sat Feb 15, 2025 10:21 amThen why take him on loan?

With regard to my first sentence, much bigger clubs than us (I’m thinking of the PL) have signed players for multi-million pounds. Not all of them have been successful and they’ve been moved on for a financial loss. So, signing players that don’t work out is not unique to us.

Re: Ex-Player & Manager News - February 1st onwards
That tired old one is always trotted out when a player of obvious capability is not getting picked. What counts is what a player does in competitive matches. From what we saw of Jonny Stuttle in actual matches, he looked well worth more game time.Alex wrote: ↑Sat Feb 15, 2025 10:18 amThe management team saw him in training every day.

Alex MacAllister banged in a hat-trick today for Alton in their 3-2 win over Redhill. He recently joined the Brewers from Hartley Wintney.
