Best Of

A blatant red according to some learned posters on this thread.

Quite shocked it’s been overturned but good stuff anyway.

I would have said the same, but i'd have Kev Noles telling me most of my posts are picking out dodgy posts😗

Two academy signings

thanks for the explanation

I don't disagree with that, the matches are a small part of any trial, if they didn't like what they saw in training he's lucky to have got game time in any position, and if he'd come away thanking them for the opportunity, asking for development feedback and saying he'd come back at any time and play in any position that would have done him more good than bitching about it.

Speculation on limited information again though, people get upset and react, it doesn't have to be the end of his dreams.

That is an absolute classic!

I have to say one thing in his defence around his character though, he was perfectly happy with me asking some probing questions On twitter about how he reacted to being put in a wrong position and asked if he let it be known he was unhappy doing it etc, and he answered every question with respect and honesty. He would have been completely in his right to ignore me, or get his back up and be a dick about it. But he didn’t, we answer the Q’s from a random and we had a decent conversation.

Sometimes there’s going to be fine margins between taking a player or not and I rather suspect it can just fall on gut feeling. And maybe they had a limited number of spots the club could afford to take a player, even a non league one, on at.

Did the club get it right in picking Kone over Tabor when they were on trial together?

Well, the proof on the pitch certainly says they didn’t get it wrong. But it could also be Tabor slipped through our fingers on the basis we had to choose him or Kone.

Ok, Wanderers isn't a nickname per se, but it's still a handy second mention

Thought Jasper was playing really well before he got injured.

If you read my post again, you would see that I said "for the surprise element" - none of us expected him to be our number 1 this season. For that feat alone, that deserves recognition.

I also said "up there" - which implies that I don't necessarily think he is ahead of the ones you have mentioned, but why should he not be mentioned in the same breath as them? He's kept us in games this season.
