The tweets he was receiving when he was released were hilarious, you’d swear we just released Ronaldinho

That is how he was described, more the target man with quicker players playing off him. Morecombe bought him on the back of his Stockport goals and it looked like he would play alongside the quicker Leitch-Smith but injury/fitness severely limited their game time.

I always thought he was there to entertain the kids at half-time.

Oswell is not a target man, as he hasn't got the bulk. I am thinking of Jim Steel, Danny Wright, Billy Ashcroft etc. A target man needs size to defend the ball and distribute. I was shocked when I first saw Oswell at Hartlepool last season getting bags off the coach. He looked slim - a million dollars in fact. More Grattan catalogue than a John Toshack !!!

Agreed. Hopefully you understood it was my attempt at humour.

There isn’t a great deal to say about James Hurst.
