Yes hes 21. His performances haven't been good enough but there have been flashes of his ability. He certainly isn't 'dog s**t', whether he works out for us or not. That poster seems to have a personal problem with him.

Fondop is 24 but hasn't been through an academy system and is in his first full year of professional football and needs a bit of patience.

We turn circles with justification, mitigating curcumstances and generalisations.

Basically they havent performed and given our experience its very unlikely they ever will. JMD has no application, Fondop has temperamental issues which require huge man management. We cannot continue to carry these players, we have to have performers as we dont have the directors who are ploughing money in like some. Value for money is so crucial for us as a fan owned club.

Hmm, so who’s judgement of a player should we rate, a manager whose full time job it is to scout anyone and everyone who has donkey’s years of experience, or yours? Amazing how new players, managers, and assistants get slated on here before they’ve even touched a ball.

Thanks for the apologies redone, but no need easy mix up.... As for Ben Tollit like the majority I'm excited at the Prospect of a real winger with pace they have been as rare as rocking horse s**t at the Cae Ras for a good while now, if we could sign him permanent or end of season loan in January it would be great, all we need now is a good creative midfielder like Fowler without the baggage and an experienced CF with higher league experience who can hold the ball up and a striker worthy of the word alongside him and we could win the league.

No pressure then lol

For me the dark horses in this promotion chase is Solihull, doing a brilliant job there is Tim Flowers.

Well I can only judge on what I see on the pitch.

So are you saying that these loan players have been a success?
My opinion has always been that loan players should improve the starting 11.
Whilst I appreciate we might need an extra body in the squad and that could be a loan player having 4 or 5 seems a waste of money if we have COE potential.

Does Walker seem a better loan option than Hinds, JMD, Pyke and most of the dross (IMO) over the last few years? Maybe you can answer your own question with that one

Likewise fans are raving about Grant, personally I dont see him any better than Rutherford but he is an improvement on JMD.

Proof of the pudding is performances on the pitch. Thats what I am saying.

Rutherford and Grant offer different things to the team. Both are decent.
